25/06/2014 ABC World News with Diane Sawyer

seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World

News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome to ABC World News tonight.

The moment of impact, the skies darken and a twister hits. Roofs

ripped away, we are tracking the threat into the night. A terror

warning, Al Qaeda trying to make bombs disguised of everyday items,

to travel undetected on planes. `` disguised as everyday items. Where

are you most stressed, at home or work? Surprising results tonight,

and what you can do about it right now.

Good evening to you on Tuesday night, we come on the air with

threatening skies and rising waters, in parts of the country. This

afternoon, a tornado touched down near Indianapolis. It through a

camper van into a home. At the same time, in another part of the

midwest, they are fighting the unstoppable floods. Seven major

rivers are still rising to night. Our correspondent has storm warnings

at this hour. Breaking in Indiana tonight.

Tornado! A powerful storm and possible tornado sweeping through

the Indianapolis area. It damages homes, knocking down trees, and

created a panic this afternoon as many scrambled to get to safety. I

heard a lot of banging and rattling. I headed downstairs to get to that

part of the house. They have recovered from a huge storm that

brought strong winds and torrential downpours on Monday. Mother Nature

unleashed her anger across the midwest. Golf ball sized hail

slammed parts of Kansas, making driving almost impossible. Across

Minnesota, a race against time, Kroos filling sandbags `` sandbags,

trying to get ahead of swollen rivers made worse. `` crews. The

Mississippi River is over five foot above the flood stage. I cannot

comprehend it, it is awful. It is dirty, it is... The Minnesota

Governor toured this hard`hit area, and at this crew, a child who fell

into the river is lucky to be alive. `` at this creek. This man jumped in

to rescue the child. He was under the water for a while. I knew that

something had to be done. Here, in Minnesota, it is the Mississippi

river they are keeping their eyes on. You can see the water is all the

way up to this swing. These buildings behind me are underwater.

The river here is not expected to fall until Thursday, but there is

more rain and possible flash floods expected later in the week.

Now, to the new terror warning that we have heard about a night, ABC

News has learned of signs that terrorists in Syria and Yemen are

trying to create explosives that can be smuggled onto a plane as everyday

items. They hope that passengers with US passports will be carrying

them. Intelligence sources tell ABC News

in lawless parts of war`torn Syria, al`Qaeda affiliated terrorists are

now joining forces, trying to build bombs that are undetectable to

airport security. One official calls Syria the new University for

terrorism training and bomb`making. Some sources say the radicals are

trying to create nonmetallic bombs that could be hidden in everyday

objects. The fear among intelligence officials is that they could try to

smuggle one of these bombs onto a plane headed to Europe or the US.

This is the kind of threat that keeps me up at night. Some of the

most ruthless elements in Syria have turned to al`Qaeda in Yemen,

proven, innovative bomb makers. They designed the infamous underwear

bomb. Since then, the intelligence community fears that makers have

become even more sophisticated. This collection, this relationship

building you see around the world, that is why we are so concerned

about a security threat. I am still very concerned about Syria as a

breeding ground and a staging ground for terrorist groups. While no

specific plot has been identified, the intelligence community is

redoubling its accurate to find any foreign fighters moving in and out

of Syria. How confident are American

intelligence officials about Americans going into Syria? It is an

intensive campaign. They are under investigation and surveillance. But

the FBI expressed concerns that some Americans may be slipping into Syria

undetected. We shift our focus to Iraq. The

question, can rebel forces take the capital? We have what is happening

now. The extremist fighters are now

ageing clue stick to the capital. There is resistance against them in

pockets and a small victories. And the military is trying to fight

back. There are still battling for control of the country's against oil

refinery and promising to defend Baghdad at all costs. Soldiers are

fighting to uphold a Shia dominated government under attack from Sunni

militants. There is now only one solution. Just one language, this

language. Every vehicle has been purchased, every soldier has been

trained and every weapon has been supplied using US taxpayer dollars.

We will only know if it is well spent if they can prove they are

ready to stand up to the threat from ISIS. Adding to the mix, 90 US

military advisers arrived in Baghdad. John Kerry telling ABC that

America will no longer fight Iraq's war. We have to look to the

government and military to be able to make the decisive difference

here. They will need to do it quickly. At least 2000 have already

been killed in a month. Despite promises only more bloodshed.

Now we have a new report tonight on the deadly air crash at San

Francisco International airport. You will remember, three passengers

died, dozens of seriously injured after an air alone tumbled down the

runway last July. `` airline. The pilots relied too much on the

automatic controls and they were confused about how to use them.

Better pilot training was recommended. There are new reports

about schoolgirls in Africa, two months after nearly 300 were

kidnapped. Or even more being at the? The group seems unstoppable.

This time according to reports from survivors, Boko Haram wrapping close

to 100 girls and boys, including toddlers as young as three. While

the reports are not yet verified, it is the kind of attacks that were

carried out last April. Those girls, shown off by their kidnappers, have

virtually disappeared, despite a worldwide up warm and the ongoing

surveillance missions the US is flying over the region. `` uproar.

The audacity of hundreds of girls being kidnapped. It shook the

country. Promising the world would not rest until the girls are found.

We have a headline here at home tonight. Medical headline promising

better results of a test of millions of American women to take. A

mammogram. The 3`D version catches what cancer. `` more cancer.

A new and improved weapon against cancer. While typical mammograms

take one single image, 3`D mammograms taken multiple pictures.

Allowing doctors to focus on individual cross sections,

identifying tumours like this one that could have been missed. The

study finds they increase the early detection by 29%. They decrease the

number of stressful false`positive 's and fewer women have to go back

for repeat screenings. How significant is this? Anything we can

do to pick up cancer is that are smaller and at an earlier stage is

hugely important. These machines emit more radiation than traditional

mammograms and since there are more expensive, they are relatively rare.

Many are seeing this as the wave of the future.

Up next, stressed out. Women are you the most stressed, at work or home?

Tonight, a test and what you can do about it. And the adventurers going

to the extreme, plunging off a cliff for equal that. You have to see it.

`` eight cool dip. Next tonight, a kind of quiz. Where

are you the most stressed? Most would say at work. Some experts have

looked more closely at our lives. We have the surprising results.

Like most of us, this assistant high school principal lives a stress

filled life. Mother of two, a husband who also works full`time.

Both amateur athletes. What is your stress level at work? There are days

I am at 12. At home, a six. She believes her work day it is more a

stressful than at home, and we would be wrong. Researchers put the lives

of 122 married and single working men and women under a microscope.

Each person had to swap their saliva Each person had to swap their saliva

six times per day at home or on the job to measure their cortisol

levels. People's stress levels were lower at work. It turns out work may

just be a haven. They see the stress on mum's face. Sometimes she gets a

red in the face. Sometimes she says she is a stressed that work. She

also took the test. We saw one of those moments earlier, you are

cooking dinner and one of daughters wanted you to come see her do

something. I could you doing the calculation in the head. Her

results. You can see that the levels are slightly higher at home. She is

indeed more stressed at home than at work. I thought I would be more

stressed at work. Why the surprising results? Researchers believe that

home is where the heart is. Care more. There are so many factors at

home that are so personal. It is hard to not make that the most

stressful. Are you feeling stressed that home? The experts say, stay

encouraged. Delegate. Ask family members to help out. Sometimes just

take a coffee break. Laughter is great medicine that all of us can

afford. We begin with Paul McCartney giving

us an update on his health. Feeling great, rocking and rolling. He was

hospitalised in Japan last month, cancelling tour dates. He announced

he would resume on July five. There is a new royal challenger to

the seven kingdoms today. Queen Elizabeth paid a visit to the set of

HBO's popular Game of Thrones. She gave a long, amused look at the

throne. It she did not try it out. The Chalford favourite is being used

to make the ultimate summer splash. The slip and slide has been taken to

a new level. Doubles practising with our form. Plunging off a 50 foot

cliff. Thank you for watching. We will see you again.

Over the past couple of weeks we have had plenty of dry, settled and

sunny weather. But things are going to change a little bit as we go

through to the end of this week. We are already seeing a bit of a

change. Yesterday in the south it was a warm day. But this is a weak

weather front introducing cooler
