Time now for a look at the news as seen across the United States a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
couple of hours ago, in ABC World News with Dianne Sawyer. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
Tonight, from the nation's capital. It is a frozen nation. Much of the | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
country facing a once in a generation storm. The National Guard | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
called the duty in the deep south, and already more than 200 accidents | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
in one city alone. State of the union, and President Obama put more | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
money in the pockets of middle-class Americans? News about the way the | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
virus spread on that crew ship, and what the company told passengers | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
that now has an even more upset. And, farther speed cameras getting | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
it wrong? Look at this car, stopped at the light, but the camera says he | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
was speeding. Tonight, drivers fight back. | :00:51. | :01:02. | |
Good evening on this Tuesday night, we are here in Washington, DC for | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
the President's State of the Union address. One thing is certain, the | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
union is in the grip of a deep freeze. More than 140 million | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Americans with a big chill and a scramble for help. Tonight, we take | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
you down south where the palm trees are frozen, and the fountains are | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
icicles. First a blizzard, and now brutal | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
cold for parts of the midwest, with wind chills as far as 40 degrees | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
below. The governor sending in the National Guard to deal with a rare | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
snow and ice storm. As soon as the first snowflakes fell school | :01:48. | :01:48. | |
officials started counselling classes. -- cancelling. The roads | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
here are no place for a school bus. Six teenagers were on the bus ride | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
home when they flicked on the ice, and one of them had to be | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
hospitalised. He was coming around the corner, and just slid off in the | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
ditch. Children in Alabama stuck in school, with roads too dangerous for | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
parents to come and get them. If you trust your teacher to take care of | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
your child during the day, they will be taken care of tonight. This was a | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
freeway in Austin, Texas, with police reporting more than 214 | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
accidents and counting. I passed about ten crashes on the way here. | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
They are calling this their worst winter storm in at least ten years. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Storms of this nature are very unpredictable and are to be | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
respected. Around Atlanta, the highways were a mess. Families who | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
emptied grocery stores spent hours trying to get home on the icy roads. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
If you don't have to be out, stay at home. This is the first measurable | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
snow in years for many communities, and some areas could see between six | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
and ten inches. North Carolina is inspecting snow all night, and they | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
only have three snowploughs. The city of New York has hundreds of | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
snowploughs, and you have how many? Three. We do hurricanes, we don't do | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
snow. Yesterday, it was 65 degrees here. He read these three | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
snowploughs, waiting for the snow. It is starting to sleet already. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Governors across the South declaring state of emergency is, trying to get | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
resources like these to the places where they are most needed. Stock | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
will it is once in a generation. Is there any relief in sight? | :03:42. | :03:50. | |
That is the question everyone is asking. We can see ice chunks | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
floating on the Hudson River. The answer is, yes. Relief is in sight. | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
That low pressure system slides across the south-east, and it will | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
eventually pulled away tomorrow morning. You can see coastal | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
Carolina is getting some of the mix. Then the wind chill will set in. | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
That is going to be the headline. Two thirds of the nation gets the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
brunt of the cold. Places like Atlanta, which will struggle to make | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
it to freezing as we going to Wednesday, will be 60 degrees by the | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
weekend. Thank you. We are here on a cold Washington, DC tonight for the | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
state of the union address. EC president fed up with Congress? Will | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
he go at alone? -- is the president. From speech prep, President Obama | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
got a taste of the frigid Washington weather. It is not just the weather | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
that is cold. Obama has the lowest average approval rating of any | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
president after five years in office. The White House sees tonight | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
as a chance to get things back on track. The President has spent the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
last week refining this speech and practising his delivery. I think the | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
framework is right. One of the big themes, the President to is right. | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
One of the big themes, the President does not need Congress to get things | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
done. It is better when you have the bipartisan solutions, but he has | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
tremendous authority and he will use it. Case in point, a push to connect | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
15,000 public schools to broadband Internet using both private funds | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
and money Congress has appropriated. The President will | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
promise executive action to require higher fuel standards for trucks and | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
to raise the minimum wage for those working on future federal contracts. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
A warning from Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner who told | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
reporters today that if the President tries to ignore Congress | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
he will run into a brick wall. The President also hopes to inspire | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
tonight. He and the first Lady have inspired some genuine American | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
heroes. A Boston bombing victim and the person who tried to help save | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
his life. And the bookkeeper who prevented a potential elementary | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
school massacre by talking a would-be shooter into surrendering. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
The White House has just released a few experts from the President's | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
speech. In the CCA note of determination and defiance. It says | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
that America does not stand still and neither were live. | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
-- will I. That is a message right to | :06:42. | :06:50. | |
Republicans who have successfully blocked almost everything he has | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
wanted in the last three years. We will be watching what happens | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
tonight. George, what is the big picture? The President has come into | :07:01. | :07:08. | |
this speech with the best economy of his presidency. Congress is still | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
against what he is doing. The country has given up on all of them. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
They are fed up with everyone in Washington. He has to do one thing | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
tonight, convince the country he can get something done. That is why he | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
is showing determination. We had been looking at the pictures over | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the years. All the years he has been giving state of the union speeches. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
As you look at him and think about him, when he think he is tonight? | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
More grave. He has always been a measured, tempered guy. There is | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
more of that than ever before. He has a clear sense of what he has | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
done, what he can do, and what he cannot do. A sense of the limits of | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
the presidency. With the Super Bowl days away, a startling discovery. A | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
lot of counterfeit tickets are being sold. Is there any way to catch | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
them? We now have the secret any warning. | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
Fans, fireworks, and with the Super Bowl just days away, fake seekers | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
ceased overnight. They look so real that investigators believe they | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
could have gotten somebody into the stadium. Some of the most | :08:19. | :08:27. | |
counterfeiting techniques I have ever seen. This is a real tickets, | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
side by side with the fake one. They have the same artwork, the same | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
logo: even an identical watermark. How do you tell the difference? | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
There is a graphic that is printed with a special ink. When you apply | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
heat, it will disappear. When it cools off it will disappear. Every | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
year, as many as 200 fans scammed with fake tickets. They are sold | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
online and in person industries before games. This man bought a | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
phoney ticket two years ago for $1900. The pressure to get the | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
tickets. You go to the deal. Is the counterfeit is get more | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
sophisticated, so does the NFL. We are hoping to stay ahead of them as | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
much as we can. This is tickets have about 50 secret high-tech markings. | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
-- 15. There are still real tickets up for sale tonight. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Someone got a royal reality check today. The Queen of England and her | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
family, a scolding you report warning them to start tightening the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
belt. They have apparently run through a fortune. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Think of the British Royal family and opulence and grandeur and | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
magnificent events. You would never believe they are nearly broke. While | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
they are, not them personally but the royal household. The department | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
that runs runs their palaces and properties, 360 buildings, thousands | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
of employees. A scathing report to Parliament found that the Queen's | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
public accounts are less than a couple of million dollars. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Privately, she is still fabulously rich. A public finances and her | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
Pallas RMS. Buckingham Palace looks great on the outside, behind the | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
scenes it is in desperate of repair. Chunks of stone falling off the | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
building. The report demanded that the Queen and her family tighten | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
their belts and find ways to make more money, like by bringing more | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
paying tourists into Buckingham Palace. It is only open 78 days per | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
year. The White House is open all year round. The Queens defenders say | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
that the royals make Britain billions every year in tourism. And | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
that Elisabeth is a frugal housekeeper. At night, if there are | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
lights on, she goes and switches them off. She could always sell the | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
jewellery. But next, caught on camera, drivers | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
fighting back against speed cameras. Do they sometimes say you are | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
driving too fast even when your car is not moving? See it when we are | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
back. Last that we told you about the | :11:22. | :12:11. | |
mystery on board a cruise ship. Hundreds of people sickened by a | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
virus. Tonight, new clues on how its bread and what the company has | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
offered those passengers. -- how it spread. | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
On board the Royal Caribbean explorer of the Seas, anger is | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
spreading as fast as illness. One woman on board centres this picture. | :12:31. | :12:40. | |
We did not go to half our ports. There is almost nothing to do on the | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
ship. Royal Caribbean has apologised that they are unable to deliver the | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
vacations. They are offering a 50% refund for this cruise and 50% of | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
the cost of a future cruise. We had to two good days out of ten that we | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
were promised. They want their money back. Experts say it is unlikely. Is | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
it rare for people to receive full compensation? The cruise lines do | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
not have to compensate you at all. When they decide to compensate | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
passengers it is out of their goodness. The stomach bug is highly | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
contagious. Each infected person generally passes it along to as many | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
as three other people. It leases many as 100 cases by the third day | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
of an outbreak. The first case was reported last Tuesday. By Sunday the | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
number of people infected had reached 303. 24 hours later the | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
number had more than doubled. Today, that number shot up to his 607 the | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
two people. For the thousands on that ship, it is a vacation that | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
Connacht and soon enough. -- cannot and. | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
Today a new government report says the over the counter drug Aleve may | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
be the safest pain reliever for anybody with hard issues. The key | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
ingredient may provide a lower level of heart attack and stroke than | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
other products. Next tonight, caught in the act. Almost two dozen states | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
use traffic cameras to catch drivers speeding and running red lights. The | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
tickets, big fines. Surprising new questions about how often they are | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
wrong. One city has lodged an investigation because of so many | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
mistakes. It is the flash out of nowhere, when | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
you do not expect it, sometimes when you do not deserve it. An | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
intersection, this driver has clearly stopped. The speed camera | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
sites the car, brake lights on and traffic in front of it, forgoing 38 | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
mph in 825 mother hour zone. A costly mistake. -- for going. Some | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
individual cameras up by as much as 50%. The City Council is | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
investigating. Nationwide, about half states use the cameras. | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
Class-action suit in Ohio and New York have attacked their | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
reliability. Los Angeles stopped issuing the tickets altogether. This | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
driver videotaped his speed. He was ticketed for being ten miles over | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
the limit. This school teacher got five tickets. I was clocked at 51 | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
mph. It was physically impossible from each of having going that fast. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
Her car could not reach that speed in a short distance. In all, 22 | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
teachers were ticketed. If you give companies an incentive to ticket | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
more, they will ticket more. California has banned the fees. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
Advocates say that the cameras slow people down. Some cities are using | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
them in new and different ways. This one monitors stop science. If you | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
roll through the stop, it will click. It costs you cash in a flash, | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
even when the picture does not tell the story. | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
We thank you for watching tonight. We will see you again tomorrow | :16:37. | :16:39. |
