history is not on their side. That's all from me. Now, it's time for a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
look at the news as seen across the US a couple of hours ago in ABC | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
World News. Welcome to ABC World News. Fire in | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
the mountains. A raging wildfire near Los Angeles. Families told to | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
get out. Water warning in West Virginia. Pregnant women are being | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
told not to drink the water. News today about the long waits in your | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
hospital emergency room. And panic attacks. Freezing up while public | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
speaking. It's been happening everywhere tonight. We have the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
secrets of fighting the number one fear in America. Good evening. We | :00:44. | :00:56. | |
begin with a roaring wildfire near Los Angeles. Three people have been | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
arrested. In this fire. Palm trees sway as the flames descend. This | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
home engulfed in flames, seen from above. The fire is just miles from | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
the iconic Hollywood sign. Dry conditions and hot winds. All it | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
takes is a spark and this is the result. The spark that caused this | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
blaze was from a reckless campfire, according to authorities. They were | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
tossing papers into the campfire and reportedly a breeze picked up and | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
set this fire. Today 700 firefighters are out on the ground | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
and in the air, fighting the blaze. We have been airborne from this | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
morning. We have seen homes go up in flames. They have hit its with | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
everything they could. They have done a wonderful job. In their job | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
is all the more difficult because there is so much fuel for the fire. | :02:05. | :02:16. | |
66% of California is in drought. And this is only the beginning. Today, | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
2000 homeowners were forced to evacuate. I just got married. I have | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
my wedding dress and our dogs. These neighbours banded together, using | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
garden hoses and a bucket brigade to save their block. We went up to the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
front lines. The flames just feed away from this home is. It's just up | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
there. The firefighters do their best to defend these houses while | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
they wait for air support. The helicopters were busy dowsing | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
hotspots nearby. The cavalry has arrived. And just in time. It looks | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
like this home owner is very lucky today but there is still a long, dry | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
winter ahead. Others were not so lucky. This man came back to find | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
his apartment gone. We will have to take it one day at a time. David, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
what is that behind you? We are at the old Singer estate. These used to | :03:23. | :03:34. | |
be the servant 's' quarters. All gone, now, and historic property | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
destroyed. Some hotspots have started in just the last couple of | :03:45. | :03:57. | |
minutes. Thank you. Return next to another story we're learning more | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
about what happened when a gunman walked into a supermarket in Indiana | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
and opened fire. It is a third incident this week after the movie | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
theatre and the middle school. This time, local police were ready and we | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
were told what they did. Last night police say 22 -year-old Sean Bere | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
was strolling through the Martin supermarket when he suddenly pulls | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
out a handgun and began shooting. He allegedly kills two women and holds | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
the store manager at gunpoint. You can see the manager there in a | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
praying position. You can see the shooter waving the gun around and | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
pointing the gun at him. To patrolman arrived in two minutes of | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
receiving the nylon one call. Their RAM and in an exchange of gunfire he | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
was killed. The quick response of the police department saved lives. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Please know that because of incidents like Columbine, ordinary | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
patrolling cannot wait for backup. They can't wait for the SWAT team. | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
They have to go in and confront. With mass shootings on the rise, the | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
FBI is helping local police to use quick response tactics like those | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
used last night the cops across the country. This is an emergency that | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
could happen not only in any town in the US you are -- but your town in | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
the US. In this training simulation, a gunman is in a school. Do not | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
forget the perimeter, moved quickly to the sound of gunfire. Seconds | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
count, and for the shooter, he prepared beforehand, have | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
high-capacity rivals in patrol cars. Fight the natural urge to ten | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
wounded victims. Engage the shooter. You need to push yourself | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
and your body to keep going forward to stop the threat. Before we had | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
specialised units but now we have to go in and stop the shooter. A quick | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
exit, that is what happened in Indiana last night. Another big | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
story now, a new and unsettling twist for all of the Americans in | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
contaminated water with -- in their homes in West Virginia. Thousands | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
were told that the tab order will safe but tonight there is a new | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
warning that pregnant woman should not drink it, raising the question, | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
what is the truth about what is in the water? Just as the water crisis | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
in West Virginia seem to be easing, and urgent new alert. New warning | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
tonight for those who are pregnant, it you should not be drinking the | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
water. The warning comes more than two days after it was said that the | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
water was safe to drink again. It has left pregnant women like 23 | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
-year-old Aaron Crouch frustrated and frightened. Is it safe for | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
pregnant women to wash their hands or take showers? They did not | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
specify. They'd said drinking. Tuesday we challenged state | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
officials to drink the water. I'm confident it is safe. Would you | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
drink some from the fountain? Absolutely. I will do it. It tasted | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
fine. We pushed again. This time on the new drinking water warning. Can | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
you understand the confusion and what people feel? A we share the | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
average. We're trying to do the best but we have not what we wish we | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
have. He said the Centre for disease control recommended yesterday that | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
quote out of an abundance of caution pregnant women should not drink the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
water. The contaminated water supply from the Elk River. Rush towards the | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Ohio River, travelling 200 miles to Cincinnati. It is closing in on | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville conditions say the infiltration | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
system will protect their water supply. In West Virginia, for the | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
seventh night in a row, more than 100,000 people still can't drink | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
their tap water. We have two steps forward tonight on the American | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
economy to tell you about, first the Senate has passed the big budget | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
deal, the compromise which effectively avoids another | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
government shutdown. And we learn today the home foreclosure rates | :08:17. | :08:27. | |
once soaring. Proper levels are rising to the level they that they | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
were. Then there was a warning about hospital levels. We were warned | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
about the length of time it takes to be treated. Lindsey Davis talks of | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
the doctors on the front lines to ask what a patient can do. It is | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
urging comedy race to the ER but what you find can be a very long | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
line. Despite a pain in an emergency, ten years ago it took on | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
average, 46 minutes before being treated, today you can expect to | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
wait an hour or more. That is one reason why the new report gave the | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
nation because it -- nation's a deep pass. When patients can't get access | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
to primary care, their problems get worse, they get sicker and they shop | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
in the departments. One ER doctor we are not naming described how | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
overwhelming it can be, saying we were not superheroes, our job is to | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
make sure the sickest yet seen first. But then the other hundred or | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
however many sit and sit and sit and wait and wait and wait and it gets | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
more crowded. Since the emergency department feeds into the hospital, | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
when the hospital backs up, we feel it. Too many come to the ER because | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
they are uninsured what makes matters worse is that hospitals and | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
emergency rooms are closing. People overdosing on painkillers. As well | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
as those coming for the wrong reasons, like refilling | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
prescriptions. The same emergency care doctors that release this | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
report can't want people to still move to the emergency room. They | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
want America to fix what one doctor says is a system that is breaking | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
point. The Australian Open was suspended because of heat, Tim | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Rogers reaching 110 degrees. That is an egg frying on the court. The | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
players are too. There is Maria Sharapova, calling off with an ice | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
towel and a vest. The Australian animals are also trying to be | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
protected, a koala bear, a possum and even Dumbo trying to beat the | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
heat. Coming up next, fighting the number one fear in America. Panic at | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
public speaking and it is happening to very famous people. We will show | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
you how a lion can help you tame it. Max time, what is the one thing | :10:50. | :12:13. | |
Americans say they fear the most, even more than dying? It is public | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
speaking. Heart racing panic, no place to run. We are seeing | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
semifamous examples on tape tonight, we decided how to see how | :12:20. | :12:29. | |
to tame that fear. That is in the, Michael Bay. He is one of the most | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
successful men in Hollywood but Michael Bay was giving a speech in | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
Las Vegas when suddenly... He froze. (BELL RINGS) I'm sorry. He had to | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
leave the stage. In aerospace at the live shows are not his thing. I am | :12:51. | :13:00. | |
not big on speeches. He is hardly the only one. It is summer that Noah | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
Gordon Lewis with everyday. It is exhausting every day. He works at a | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
marketing firm but he says he is paralysed from public speaking. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
You'll agree your brain shuts down and you have to stop. Why do we | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
panic? Experts point to the evolution. When I on you it is you | :13:30. | :13:40. | |
are thinking you are under prey. We had to flee or fight. A public | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
speaking expert explains. This wording is the body can call off | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
quickly, the shallow breathing so the oxygen can go to the muscles. | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
And the adrenaline kicks in. All the help us fight harder and fully | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
further. None of that works for modern man when he is feeling | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
frightened in a situation which is asking him to be cool, calm and | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
collected and connected. North Down a -- North Down a class at the | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
acting school. They get people on stage and comfortable with the sound | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
of their own voice. Some of their secrets, number one, breathe deeply | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
before starting. That sent a signal to shot of the fear response. Number | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
two is get right to it. The first 30 seconds when you're going to panic. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Get your audience involved. Noah says it is helping him face those | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
cat back at the office. As a line himself. -- a lie on himself. Family | :14:40. | :14:49. | |
people admit they have had fear of public speaking? So many. Hollywood | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
heavyweights not only Michael Bay but Kristian steward and Johnny Depp | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
say they are petrified to speak live in front of a group. Do have a fear | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
of public speaking? I was painfully shy as a kid, my knees would shake | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
in my heart would pound, I would sweat profusely if I had to speaking | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
-- speak in front of cars. I got to play Romeo in Romeo and Juliet and | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
perhaps kissing Juliet on stage brought me out of my shell. I | :15:20. | :15:28. | |
roared! We begin the instant index tonight with notes on the Oscar | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
nominations. Then favourites got the nod is like Gravity. American Hustle | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
and all for the main actors and they're really really eccentric hair | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
got nominated. There were surprises, no nominations for Tom | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
Hanks or Oprah or Robert Redford. A milestone for Meryl Streep, her 18th | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
nomination, making us remember her first one. Here she was at Deer | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
Hunter. A close encounter with a humpback whale. Take a look at the | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
kayaker with the nerves of steel. He sees a giant Finn emerge. He says | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
that his boat was lifted out of the water but he just kept on paddling. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
It happened in the oceans off Norway. We are always here with | :16:17. | :16:29. | |
Thursday was a pretty showery affair for many parts of the British Isles | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
and not a great surprise, given we have a big area of low pressure sat | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
very close by on the western side of the British Isles, it is feeding | :16:41. | :16:41. |
