more news at the top of the hour. Time for a look at the news as seen | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
across the United States. Welcome to world news. Tonight, | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
guilty. The stunning new verdict for the American girl Amanda Knox. Italy | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
wants her back in prison for murder. Will America for such a go? The | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
south thaws out, but still a slippery mess on the roads. | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
How children behave when they think their parents are not looking. And | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
what about parents who think their children do not know where the guns | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
are hidden? And for the first time, the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
unconscious skydiver describes that plummet and the moment his friends | :00:46. | :00:54. | |
saved his life. Good evening. We begin with the | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
breaking news in the case of that American girl whose trial made | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
headlines around the world. Amanda Knox, the American college student, | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
today once again found guilty by an Italian court of motoring her | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
roommate. She is now living in Seattle and his ruling sets the | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
stage for a diplomatic duel. Will Italy try to get her back, will the | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
US let her go? In a case with more twists than a | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Hollywood movie, an Italian court has once again found Amanda Knox | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
guilty, guilty of the murder of her former roommate Meredith Kercher, | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
guilty of a crime that has been at the centre of an international media | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
firestorm for more than six years. Her former boyfriend, Raffaele | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Sollecito was also did. -- convicted. We are told that she felt | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
sick as the verdict was read, saying in a statement: | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
her parents told us late today that they are stunned, but to find. -- | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
defiance. Angry is what moves us forward, to help us fight, probably | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
more years of fighting. How can this happen? After being convicted in | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
2009 and serving four years and risen, she was cleared after a | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
second trial found that the original evidence unreliable. There is no | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
evidence she was even found at the murder scene. Italy's highest court | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
overturned the acquittal in order to have a new trial. I felt like after | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
crawling through a field of barbed wire and finally reaching what I | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
thought was the end, it just turned out that it was the Horizon and I | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
had another field of barbed wire that I had a head of me. It will not | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
end here. Amanda Knox can appeal yet again. If the verdict is upheld, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
only then will the question of extradition on the table. The | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
parents say that the ordeal has cost them everything, devastating them | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
financially. For now, Amanda Knox remains at home in Seattle. But with | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
a cloud of a prison sentence hanging over her future. | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
I want to bring in our Chief legal affairs anchor. Is there any way the | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
United States will let the Italian striker back into prison? In most | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
cases, the answer would be yes. She is a convicted murderer. In this | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
case, it is likely. I do not think it is impossible. But it is unlikely | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
that the US government will ultimately force her to go back to | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Italy. She talked about US government officials backing her. | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
She had some state officials, particularly, standing by her. Is | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
this a political decision? It helps that this is a political decision | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
and not a legal one. You have somebody who has been convicted with | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
due process. But since it is a political decision, it will go | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
through the State Department. She will have a lot of support in this | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
country. They are going to frame legal arguments to say that this is | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
the reason we are not going to send her back. They can ask, but whether | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
we do it is another issue. We turn to the final blast of Arctic | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
air loosening its grip on 34 states. Even the National Guard had to help | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
drivers. Some people are still digging out. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
How dangerous is the ice in the south? Watch carefully this video | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
from Alabama. In Atlanta, they started moving abandoned cars with | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
their bare hands. Today the National Guard took family she walked all the | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
way to shelters back to the cars they abandoned in the snow. I have | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
not been home since Tuesday. This woman, still in her high heels from | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
work. I want to get in my bed and go to sleep. State officials apologised | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
for not shutting the city down before the snow. The buck stops with | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
me. I accept the responsibility for it. Such a mess. 1500 racks. | :05:50. | :06:01. | |
We have certainly seen this happen in cities before. When all of | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Houston got on the roads to evacuate right before a hammer came in 2005. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
One expert says that cities have to have a plan. Atlanta did not | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
understand that snow is the enemy. Whatever was done was in response to | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the crisis, not because there was a plan. He says the governor should | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
have encouraged schools to close by declaring a state of emergency | :06:30. | :06:41. | |
earlier. Hindsight is 2020. A note tonight about California, a | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
new alert about the state's driest year on record. There had been hoped | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
that a new storm would bring some relief. But as a tonight, it looks | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
as though there will not be enough rain. Now communities are running | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
dry less than 100 days from using up all of their water reserves. Next | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
tonight, we moved to an investigation with those new | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
warnings about security during the Winter Olympics. Today Russia | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
arrested two Brothers for a link to recent bombings. This is the | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
question, if Sochi is a hotbed for terrorism, why was the chosen? This | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
year's Winter Olympics could have been held at the Austrian Alps or | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
the mountains of South Korea. Instead, the International Olympic | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Committee chose a subtropical city in Russia famed for its Black Sea | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
summer beaches, where snow rarely falls, and, located a few hundred | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
miles from the stronghold of a ruthless terrorists group that has | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
declared war on the Olympics. Now, the question is being asked, why was | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
so cheap it in the first place. -- why was Sochi chosen in the first | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
place? And ABC News investigation has found that behind the scenes, | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Russia was helped in getting the vote by this mysterious | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
businessman, who US law enforcement authorities say in public documents | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
is actually a key member of one of the world's biggest organised crime | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
networks involved in the trafficking of heroin across Russia into Europe. | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
He is a dangerous gangster. Yet, seen here at a 2012 Olympic event, | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
he has been publicly thanked by the Russian Olympic Committee for his | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
work in delivering the votes of certain Asian countries without | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
which it would have been hard for Sochi to count on the victory. | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
Portrayed as a powerful figure in the Russian media, he confirmed | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
through a translator gets role in helping Russia get the Olympic | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Committee votes. He convinced them because of his good relations with | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
these people. He has great influence, the spokesperson said. He | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
said no bribes were necessary. The International Olympic Committee says | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
it's bidding process is wrong and transparent but they would not | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
respond directly to our questions about how this accused heroin | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
kingpin apparently has such friends and influence with both the Olympics | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
and the Russian government. And we have news tonight about the | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
surviving suspect in the Boston bombing will stop today, federal | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
prosecutors announced they would seek the death penalty against | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. And another cruise ship with six | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
passengers today. The Caribbean Princess is returning to Houston | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
tomorrow one ahead of schedule. -- one day ahead of schedule. It has | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
been stricken by the highly infectious Norovirus. Passengers | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
will get a cruise credit of 20% of their careful top some harrowing | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
video -- 20% of their travel fair. Some harrowing video footage tonight | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
of a scuba-diving boat sinking. It went down in a matter of minutes but | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
everyone was saved. Now, our special report on children and firearms in | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
our homes and the homes where our children play. Every other day, a | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
child is accidentally shot to death. We want to start a conversation | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
about what we can do together to make them safe. Tell children not to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
touch guns and watch what they do when they think no one is watching. | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
We showed you parents who thought they had taught their children never | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
to touch a gun. See what they do when they think no one is watching. | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Even when their words say over and over, don't touch it, tell and | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
adult... Their bodies cannot seem to resist. They look for bullets by | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
staring right down the barrel of the gun. They re-enact the movies, | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
aiming at each other. They can learn the knowledge. We can ask them to | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
repeated but you cannot educate Shihri city out of a child. Since | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
one in three homes on average has guns in it... Many parents think | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
they had hidden them safely away from young children, tucking them | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
away in the closet. Even in a hollowed out Bible. And the NRA | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
recommends guns be stored so that they are not accessible to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
children. But what is not accessible to a child? Give a child and | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
incentive and they can do impossible things to get where they want to | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
go. And you will see parents like Stephanie, who tells us she is so | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
sure her son doesn't know she has a gun or even where she placed it. He | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
takes us to the first place where it had been stored. When she moves it | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
to a truly secret hiding place, we come back one month later and, guess | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
what? He has found that one as well. He asked for a flashlight to point | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
out that pump action shotgun. I don't want anyone to touch it. She | :12:44. | :13:09. | |
points out that it's unloaded but since so many little American | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
children live in homes with guns or a play at their neighbour's house, | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
we wonder how many parents ask the question what gun safety is in other | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
people's houses. Many Americans would be surprised to see how many | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
parents actually own guns. We decided to go knocking. What we | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
found was surprising. Next, an incredible rescue at 12,000 feet. We | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
will meet the unconscious skydiver plummeting to earth and unable to | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
watches parachute. This new video footage shows what his friends did | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
before he finally opened his eyes. We will be back. | :13:48. | :14:29. | |
We told you yesterday about that amazing midair rescue of the | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
unconscious skydiver plummeting towards the earth and saved by his | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
friends. Tonight, we have an interview and new video footage of | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
the man whose friends helped him both defy gravity and the odds. When | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
James clambered out onto this aeroplane, even though he had done | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
more than 1000 jumps, he had no way of knowing that his fellow jumpers | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
were about to have just seconds in which to save his life. A jumper who | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
left the aircraft afterwards came down and knocked me unconscious. | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
From them I have no recollection of what happened. He had been knocked | :15:09. | :15:19. | |
unconscious. The camera on James's head was still rolling as he free | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
fell more than 120 mph over the countryside. You can actually see | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
him falling. Experts say that to land safely, you have to deploy your | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
parachute 75 seconds into the dive. 30 seconds in, something amazing | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
happened. His friends realised that he was in trouble. As you can see, | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
they jump into action. My legs were bent and I was travelling backwards. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
The signals they were trying to give were straight in your legs and | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
because I was not responding, they grabbed hold of me. At 58 seconds, | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
they managed to open his parachute. At this point, James comes to. I was | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
so happy to be on the ground. Obviously, having been knocked in | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
the head, your muscles are that saw... It was all a bit dramatic. | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
Dramatic and terrifying but despite it all, James has already jumped | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
again since this incident. And some dazzling seen only in | :16:31. | :16:43. | |
space. An eclipse of the sun. The sun in a rainbow of colours. | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
And tonight for one young football fan at the Seahawks are superheroes. | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
Time for a story about two big surprises. 12 -year-old Kevin plays | :17:00. | :17:11. | |
violin. More rough and tumble fund could be life-threatening. I had | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
heart surgery and something could go wrong and I could die. Kevan had his | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
first surgery when he was three days old. He is still at high risk. When | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Make A Wish Foundation asked him what he wanted most in the world, he | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
said to meet his favourite football team. But there is a catch. His | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
parents are divorced. His father lives and works in the Middle East | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
and only travels home once per year. Sports is a major part of their | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
relationship. With his father not being here, this is one thing that | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
they share. When he gets his wish... It's not complete. Why are | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
you upset? Is their part of your wish that is missing? Until... | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Downstairs, someone has travelled 7000 miles to be here. This is for | :18:09. | :18:24. | |
you. It's his father. Hey, buddy. How you doing? Days later, Kevin and | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
his father are on the sidelines. They are part of the team. Are you | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
ready? Are you enthusiastic? That's what I'm talking about! And then the | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
boy who doesn't always get to play back home takes the field and scored | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
a touchdown! Congratulations, Kevin! The newest Seahawks player | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
makes a prediction. It's a prediction that has come true for | :19:01. | :19:11. | |
the Seahawks and for Kevin. Kevin will be at the Super Bowl on | :19:12. | :19:26. | |
Sunday. Thank you for watching this evening. It | :19:27. | :19:28. |
