:00:07. > :00:11.hours ago, in ABC World News with David Muir.
:00:12. > :00:17.Welcome to world news. Tonight - whether workplace. A blast of bitter
:00:18. > :00:24.cold, sheets of ice. A family dog saved. Now comes late word of an
:00:25. > :00:28.avalanche. The retail rush. We show you how to get sale prices even
:00:29. > :00:32.lower. Last-minute bargaining networks. What when our hidden
:00:33. > :00:40.cameras go in search of what authorities are calling the super
:00:41. > :00:42.fakes. Is there one under your tree? The Christmas Eve surprises in that
:00:43. > :00:48.the spacewalk that were not planning. How an American astronaut
:00:49. > :00:53.knew there was trouble. And you're wanting to Christmas.
:00:54. > :00:57.What Barbara Walters picked that sent me on a journey. You need a
:00:58. > :01:16.special lab to make this. Good evening. We begin with millions
:01:17. > :01:21.of Americans travelling to Christmas. They are facing bitterly
:01:22. > :01:27.cold temperatures and eyes. Heavy rain has made driving miserable.
:01:28. > :01:31.Temperatures plunged. In upstate New York, trees and powerlines caked on
:01:32. > :01:35.ice. Power outages from the midwest to New England. Many are wondering
:01:36. > :01:40.if they will eat Christmas dinner by candlelight. A plane running off a
:01:41. > :01:45.railway. Reports of an avalanche and a tornado. Tonight, the system is on
:01:46. > :01:56.the move. Dangerous temperatures for families. Aretino cover it all. But
:01:57. > :02:03.make our team. Frozen solid, parts of Michigan to Maine, encased in up
:02:04. > :02:09.to an inch of ice. Thick enough to skate down the street in Canada.
:02:10. > :02:16.Freezing rain taking down trees, which take down powerlines. When you
:02:17. > :02:24.get one liner repaired, another one comes down. Still tonight, many
:02:25. > :02:30.without power. They may have a dark and cold Christmas. We get some heat
:02:31. > :02:35.from the stove, because it is gas. Other than that, we are trying to
:02:36. > :02:41.keep warm. Runways in Detroit so slick that a flight careened into
:02:42. > :02:48.the grass. In New England, this is one of the worst storms they have
:02:49. > :02:53.seen in 15 years. Here in the central part of the state, three

:03:15. > :03:18.this weekend. You said that tomorrow, families
:03:19. > :03:31.travelling and doing shopping could be concerned. It is the cold, it is
:03:32. > :03:37.dangerous. We have this advice. 12 degrees below it will feel like in
:03:38. > :03:41.Chicago. Some of the roughest air in Minnesota. What I want to show you
:03:42. > :03:47.was what is happening to the mild temperatures. The record warmth on
:03:48. > :03:52.the east coast. From tonight, thereafter ease watches in Florida
:03:53. > :03:56.and southern Georgia. What a change we are in for. We will see in

:04:00. > :04:06.scramble to buy the final items on your Christmas list. The scene is
:04:07. > :04:15.repeated everywhere. How low will sales go? Can you get a price lower
:04:16. > :04:21.than the final sale price? We did, we were the best hagglers we could
:04:22. > :04:24.find. With only 60% of us finished with our holiday shopping, retailers
:04:25. > :04:32.expect a blizzard of business over the weekend. Despite some of the
:04:33. > :04:36.deepest discounts ever, stores like Macy's and Kmart open around the
:04:37. > :04:41.clock, there were fewer shoppers. There is panic across the country.
:04:42. > :04:49.Shoppers are not spending. It is a race against time. 7% less for
:04:50. > :04:53.traffic in stores. Consumers are willing to wait as long as
:04:54. > :04:58.possible, even if that means doing their shopping after Christmas. Not
:04:59. > :05:11.feeling the heat? Audio equipment. Headphones sales up 14%. If you are
:05:12. > :05:19.hitting the mall, use your voice. Our expert showed us how to ask
:05:20. > :05:25.forever to price. Do you sometimes have coupons behind the counter? A
:05:26. > :05:40.connection at stake and $10 that track saved him $10.
:05:41. > :05:43.They are at sales as far as 70%. Meantime this evening, the uproar

:05:52. > :05:54.40,000 customers. A major bank imposing limits on how much you can

:06:40. > :06:44.time to thieves scrambling to sell the credit information. This man,
:06:45. > :06:50.who broke the story, says websites like this one showed cards for sale
:06:51. > :06:57.right now. A gold card selling for the most money, more than $44. There
:06:58. > :07:03.has never been more of a glut of this information in the criminal
:07:04. > :07:07.underground then there is today. You are not responsible for any fraud

:07:23. > :07:29.the health-care website? There was a deadline today for anyone who wants
:07:30. > :07:33.coverage. Look at this notice we found today. The website offered to
:07:34. > :07:37.e-mail you back later when the site is less busy. Tonight, a major
:07:38. > :07:46.development. The deadline moved again. I am sure the President and
:07:47. > :07:52.his team are watching closely. No question. They say there is a good
:07:53. > :07:55.reason for all of the delays was. More than 1 million people try to
:07:56. > :08:00.log onto their website to beat the deadline. Because of the delays, the
:08:01. > :08:05.extended the deadline for everyone. The deadline had been today, to be
:08:06. > :08:12.covered, now it is extended another 24 hours. You have until tomorrow to
:08:13. > :08:16.unroll and be covered. In the meantime, the president's name is
:08:17. > :08:22.now on the list? The President and roll. It was a staff member who did

:08:30. > :08:34.There are four Max tears of plans. He enrolled in the cheapest plan, it
:08:35. > :08:40.will cost $400 a month, an individual plan. The President is
:08:41. > :08:48.not needed. He gets the best health coverage in the world through

:08:56. > :09:01.air force one. Thank you. We move on to Syria. An
:09:02. > :09:05.unprecedented look inside the civil war from the families living through
:09:06. > :09:11.terror. They have documented it for ABC News. The war has been going for
:09:12. > :09:19.more than 1000 days. More than 100,000 lives lost. We have a
:09:20. > :09:25.special series on Syria. Tonight, villagers desperate to keep their
:09:26. > :09:31.government together, attacked, they say, by rebels with links to
:09:32. > :09:43.Al-Qaeda. Parity for a respondent with eight report. That our chief
:09:44. > :09:49.correspondent. First came the rockets, then the snipers. These
:09:50. > :09:57.videos were filmed by the Jihadist fighters themselves. The survivors
:09:58. > :10:04.tell us their story. TRANSLATION: Everyone rushed to protect their
:10:05. > :10:10.wives and children. TRANSLATION: My husband yelled, closed the door and
:10:11. > :10:15.hide. Facing little resistance, they quickly on the streets. A few of the
:10:16. > :10:19.villages were armed, but they were outnumbered and outgunned.
:10:20. > :10:26.TRANSLATION: I have done, but when the bullets ran out it is just a
:10:27. > :10:31.stick. They block the street often and that he could pass, and I saw
:10:32. > :10:38.people in front of me being killed. I got everybody out of the car, that
:10:39. > :10:44.was when my baby son was shot in the head. What could a child have
:10:45. > :10:48.possibly done to deserve to die? His son did live, and his other son was
:10:49. > :10:53.also wounded. Both are left with permanent reminders of the vicious
:10:54. > :11:00.attack. We didn't bury one two or three. There are mass graves, and
:11:01. > :11:07.there are still people missing. Is there anything more evil than what
:11:08. > :11:11.they did to us? 200 miles above the earth tonight they are preparing for
:11:12. > :11:15.a Christmas Eve mission. A spacewalk after real concern over one of the
:11:16. > :11:20.spacesuits. This picture holds the clue tonight, a veteran astronaut
:11:21. > :11:29.revealed his feet were suddenly very cold. It was a real red flag. Have
:11:30. > :11:36.they fixed it? Tomorrow morning, American
:11:37. > :11:39.astronauts will step out of the space station to finish what they
:11:40. > :11:46.started this weekend, replacing this critical cooling pump. Is it scary
:11:47. > :11:52.when you are there and there is nothing else? It is scary. It is a
:11:53. > :11:57.matter of managing the fear. Adding to the fear, ageing spacesuits.
:11:58. > :12:07.Astronauts were today inspecting them. In July, an Italian astronaut
:12:08. > :12:13.almost drowned after his suit began filling with water. We will have a
:12:14. > :12:26.new pump module under the tree at the space station. The jobs you are
:12:27. > :12:36.helping to create with your gifts. Today we turn to the holiday dinner
:12:37. > :12:44.menu. We are going to put our Made in America team to the test.
:12:45. > :13:00.Upstairs in every dressing room, the same message. Are you in? I mean.
:13:01. > :13:06.For Whoopi Goldberg, this grill. You are packaging one for your brother
:13:07. > :13:13.right now? Yes. Is not watching tonight, but Barbara is. She told
:13:14. > :13:21.me, I can't predict the appetisers. What is better than cheese? She
:13:22. > :13:24.loves his Made in America story. Ten years ago he opened a cheese shop in
:13:25. > :13:33.Seattle. Turns out that was just the beginning. That would be very nice.
:13:34. > :13:39.The FedEx man was right there, his Christmas deliveries. Basal cheese
:13:40. > :13:51.all over America. So, this is the cheese counter. It is. We send it
:13:52. > :13:56.all over the country. This Christmas, they are not forgetting
:13:57. > :13:59.the American farmer. When you are putting cheese on a holiday plateau
:14:00. > :14:04.this year, you could be helping an American farmer. Here, they make
:14:05. > :14:15.their own cheese as well. I was about to suit up. This is Dan. Dan
:14:16. > :14:21.was about to teach me. This is where all the magic happens. This was milk
:14:22. > :14:34.just 30 minutes ago, on its way. That milk is from upstate New York.
:14:35. > :14:44.You want to flip. That's it. The next step, building the cheese. You
:14:45. > :14:48.could use some work, pretty good. It would be ten minutes before my
:14:49. > :14:53.cheese was ready, which gives us time to celebrate other American
:14:54. > :14:58.foods on the menu. American spying a million of these pies this December
:14:59. > :15:03.alone. Look at the smiles. The factory workers waving to world
:15:04. > :15:12.news. On the other iconic branding tonight, arriving at Jiffy. Grandma
:15:13. > :15:17.Mabel years ago in the name that she came up with. This Christmas, they
:15:18. > :15:24.are making 1.5 million boxes of Jiffy every day. We were told a
:15:25. > :15:30.cheese was finally ready, and so was our message tonight.
:15:31. > :15:45.Thank you to bubble Walters for the idea. -- are . Could you spot a
:15:46. > :15:48.super fake tonight? And drivers beware, look at what this family
:15:49. > :16:41.encountered on the roadway. Unbelievable.
:16:42. > :16:49.We have all heard of fakes, but tonight, super fake make it real
:16:50. > :17:03.materials. Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton. How -- thou hidden cameras
:17:04. > :17:10.showed that on Canal Street, the next-generation counterfeit
:17:11. > :17:14.handbags. It comes from a factory. Maybe it was wastage, it was
:17:15. > :17:19.supposed to be damaged, and someone can slip it in their bag and take it
:17:20. > :17:33.home. In rare cases, some are made with handcrafted letter. Which is
:17:34. > :17:38.the real and which is the fake. We went to see the underground market
:17:39. > :17:47.at work. This man carries a showroom on a smart phone. He asks us to
:17:48. > :17:58.wait. Then he spots a camera and he isn't happy. Some fakes were easy to
:17:59. > :18:02.spot. Then, a very real looking super fake Chanel. The real thing
:18:03. > :18:09.goes for nearly $5,000, the super fake, $600. It may seem at a bargain
:18:10. > :18:13.to you, but counterfeiting encourages child labour and funds
:18:14. > :18:23.organise crore in. That is a lot of bad, to carry around with your
:18:24. > :18:27.brand-new fake handbag. Look who turned up at a Walmart in
:18:28. > :18:33.Massachusetts, Beyonce, with the new album and some Christmas cheer. She
:18:34. > :18:37.revealed a Christmas surprise for 750 shoppers. For everyone in the
:18:38. > :18:42.store right now, the first $50 of your holiday gifts are on me. The
:18:43. > :18:45.wake-up call for the millions of people hitting the road this
:18:46. > :18:55.holiday, this young couple driving along the road when it ?1800 moose
:18:56. > :18:59.darts across the road. You will remember the Foster's child
:19:00. > :19:10.who stood before his church with a plea, asking for a family. -- the
:19:11. > :19:14.foster child. Of all the many people in this world
:19:15. > :19:18.hoping to be home for the holidays you can't help but route for 15
:19:19. > :19:23.-year-old foster child Damian. He got dressed up one Sunday in
:19:24. > :19:27.December, stood before families in a Florida church, and begged anyone to
:19:28. > :19:36.adopt him. Dad or ma'am, black, white or purple, I don't care. We
:19:37. > :19:39.were inspired meeting him, this young man taking his future in his
:19:40. > :19:48.own hands. There is someone out there view. Yes, hopefully. Over
:19:49. > :19:53.100,000 families offering to take in and show him the love he has missed
:19:54. > :19:58.all these years. They were calling to meet other children too. The
:19:59. > :20:03.number of people who are contacting us wanting information about
:20:04. > :20:12.adopting has doubled since the story. He is a hero who has found a
:20:13. > :20:16.home. Tonight, he is preparing to spend Christmas with what may be his
:20:17. > :20:23.forever family. He will be staying for Christmas with his seem to be
:20:24. > :20:27.hopefully adoptive family. And when he sharing the names of the family.
:20:28. > :20:33.But we know that doesn't matter much for him. I want people to guide me
:20:34. > :20:42.and put me in their family, and love me no matter what happens. You are
:20:43. > :20:45.America Strong. More than 100,000 families had set
:20:46. > :20:54.the call. -- and said the call.
