:00:00. > :00:00.defect. 20 minutes with the rest of the

:00:00. > :00:13.day's news, but now it is time for ABC World News.

:00:14. > :00:24.Welcome to ABC World News. Tonight, terro warning.

:00:25. > :00:28.Powerlines falling under the snow and ice as two thirds of America

:00:29. > :00:33.tries to drive across frozen roads. The older man who shot the young

:00:34. > :00:38.father in a moving feature appears in yesterday. But police say he told

:00:39. > :00:48.his own wife in the moments after the shooting. -- movie theatre in

:00:49. > :00:53.tears. We begin with the developing story,

:00:54. > :00:59.a new terro warning for athletes and fans descending on Russia. The less

:01:00. > :01:02.government announced new intelligence information that

:01:03. > :01:14.terrorists may be targeting planes with explosives smuggled on board

:01:15. > :01:20.inside toothpaste. As the Olympic torch made its way to

:01:21. > :01:24.Sochi today, a new warning from US intelligence put commercial airlines

:01:25. > :01:26.on notice. Terrorists may use toothpaste containers to

:01:27. > :01:32.TRANSLATION: Will explosives on board planes. We have received

:01:33. > :01:38.specific and credible information. The new potential threat is not

:01:39. > :01:48.necessarily focused on Americans, but does pertain to all flights into

:01:49. > :01:53.the country. There was the shoe bomber, a liquid explosives plot.

:01:54. > :02:01.And there was the plan to smuggle a bomb in a printer cartridge. It is

:02:02. > :02:05.clear that even small bombs can be extraordinarily dangerous. In

:02:06. > :02:10.military bomb technician tells us tonight that certain explosives can

:02:11. > :02:16.be easily moulded into a powerful bomb. Here is what the liquid

:02:17. > :02:23.explosive bomb could have done. This is the shoe bomb. This is what the

:02:24. > :02:27.underwear bomb would have done. Russia has been on edge due to a

:02:28. > :02:34.series of threats from Islamic militants. At a congressional

:02:35. > :02:38.hearing yesterday, US intelligence officials said that specific limbic

:02:39. > :02:45.threats were being discovered. -- Olympic.

:02:46. > :02:51.Hundreds of thousands of people are travelling to the games, including

:02:52. > :02:55.15,000 Americans. Give us a sense of what level of

:02:56. > :03:01.certainty they have about this attack and specifically toothpaste.

:03:02. > :03:07.The information has recently come in. It was specific only to

:03:08. > :03:12.toothpaste. They did not have many more specifics at this point.

:03:13. > :03:17.I know that you will be following up throughout the night. We have

:03:18. > :03:23.another note of a different kind. Sean Wight has pulled out of

:03:24. > :03:27.tomorrow's big event, giving up the chance of a gold medal in the slips

:03:28. > :03:34.to, because of the potential risk of injury. There has been criticism of

:03:35. > :03:41.the course. And now we move on to the latest

:03:42. > :03:47.round of wicked weather. People stuck at airports, powerlines down

:03:48. > :03:56.and drivers trying to make the trip home through snow and ice.

:03:57. > :04:04.Yet another winter blast has been bringing heavy wet snow and ice.

:04:05. > :04:08.More than 500,000 people here will spend the night in the dark. Have

:04:09. > :04:15.you thought about the idea of being without power for as long as a

:04:16. > :04:22.week? We have tried not to. Trees have brought powerlines crashing

:04:23. > :04:30.down. A powerline 300 feet long covered in two inches of ice gets

:04:31. > :04:35.more than ?2200 heavier. Hundreds of thousands now left in the dark. And

:04:36. > :04:40.now you're getting ready to go to your neighbour 's house, because

:04:41. > :04:44.they get power. It is a painstaking and unpredictable process. They are

:04:45. > :04:50.one of the biggest threats to public safety. A first priority. Crews

:04:51. > :05:04.worked to restore power to generators. The ice and snow is also

:05:05. > :05:10.disrupting a travel. 3000 cancellations and 7500 delays. Snow

:05:11. > :05:17.bringing the downtown to a crawl. I have had enough. In Indiana, trying

:05:18. > :05:25.to clear the highways. In New York State, a major interstate shutdown.

:05:26. > :05:30.Just a couple of tips. Make sure you're not using cruise control. You

:05:31. > :05:35.want to be in control of your car. When looking at your exhaust pipe,

:05:36. > :05:41.make sure that it is clear. And perhaps most obviously, drive

:05:42. > :05:47.slowly. Even if you are not driving, you could have problems. Look at the

:05:48. > :05:51.crowds forming after the New York subway stores. Back in Philadelphia,

:05:52. > :05:55.officials at telling us it can take as long as a week for some to get

:05:56. > :06:01.power back. Temperatures will be below freezing for days. And another

:06:02. > :06:04.storm that hit on Sunday. And it is not just the powerlines. You see

:06:05. > :06:16.this tree? A large branch fell off and hit a man. That man is in

:06:17. > :06:21.critical condition. Now, that will bring in our meteorologists because

:06:22. > :06:28.many people are asking if this is the worst winter ever. I will show

:06:29. > :06:40.you why this has happened. The Jetstream acts as a conveyor belt,

:06:41. > :06:45.bringing storm after storm. But how we remember it may be different. In

:06:46. > :06:50.some places, generational leap. Look at this picture from Michigan. The

:06:51. > :06:55.building almost completely covered. And frozen fountains in Atlanta. Do

:06:56. > :07:02.the numbers stack up as much as our memory? In Chicago, it was only

:07:03. > :07:10.eight inches or so at this point. 20 is average. This year, it's close to

:07:11. > :07:15.60. That's close to a record but to get to number one, they would have

:07:16. > :07:27.to get to 90 inches. 43 days until spring. Word of new video from that

:07:28. > :07:33.horrifying shooting in The movie cinema. The older man with a gun and

:07:34. > :07:40.the younger father texting. The retired police captain broke down in

:07:41. > :07:49.tears. The 71 -year-old retired police captain accused of shooting a

:07:50. > :07:55.man for texting in a cinema died in court. His daughter told the court

:07:56. > :08:01.he was an old man with medical issues and needs to be set free. He

:08:02. > :08:08.kept all of his tools because he just knew that his hands would get

:08:09. > :08:12.better but it has not happened. He is charged with second-degree

:08:13. > :08:21.murder. He shot and killed a 43 -year-old man after they argued. The

:08:22. > :08:30.defendant says he was struck in the face by an unknown object and acted

:08:31. > :08:36.in self defence. But the only thing that was thrown was a bag of

:08:37. > :08:44.popcorn. The victim's wife was sitting next to him when he died.

:08:45. > :08:53.She says the retired policeman should be put away. I don't want him

:08:54. > :09:00.to see daylight again. Witnesses say they overheard him speaking to his

:09:01. > :09:04.wife. She said that was no cause to shoot anyone. And then he leaned

:09:05. > :09:14.around and stuck his finger out as though to scold her and said don't

:09:15. > :09:19.say another word. The judges decided that prosecutors could share

:09:20. > :09:25.surveillance video and photos from that afternoon. The prosecution says

:09:26. > :09:28.this was in no way self defence. An update on the death of Philip

:09:29. > :09:34.Seymour Hoffman. Overnight, authorities made for a rest just

:09:35. > :09:41.blocks from his home. They have reportedly 300 packets of heroin.

:09:42. > :09:48.Police say the arrest are connected to Philip Seymour Hoffman's death.

:09:49. > :09:56.Now, we turn to a milestone event in America's long history with

:09:57. > :09:59.cigarettes. Today, CVS has said enough is enough and they will no

:10:00. > :10:13.longer sell tobacco products. Will other stores follow suit? We worked

:10:14. > :10:20.the phones all day, calling major drugstore chains across the country.

:10:21. > :10:25.Not one as of tonight said they were following CVS's decision but some

:10:26. > :10:32.are thinking about it. It's a monumental move. CVS says that by

:10:33. > :10:37.October, none of their 7000 hundred locations will sell cigarettes or

:10:38. > :10:41.tobacco products. We want to know what kind of company we want to be.

:10:42. > :10:47.Do we want to be a healthcare company? It was the right decision

:10:48. > :10:53.for us. It might make good business sense down the road. Cigarette sales

:10:54. > :10:59.are down 31% over the past decade. At the same time, CVS is growing its

:11:00. > :11:04.walk-in health clinics. Analysts say the move could improve that

:11:05. > :11:06.business. Two major cities have already banned cigarette sales in

:11:07. > :11:11.pharmacies. Boston and San Francisco. Target has stopped

:11:12. > :11:17.selling tobacco products in the 1990s. All eyes are on those other

:11:18. > :11:25.pharmacy chain. They are all looking closely at what CVS is doing.

:11:26. > :11:33.One thing is for sure. The fans of the Seattle Seahawks love to make a

:11:34. > :11:37.noise. Today, almost 1 million people lined the streets for the

:11:38. > :11:46.parade to celebrate the Super Bowl champions. More people showed up for

:11:47. > :11:54.the parade them live in Seattle. Next, look at this not so innocent

:11:55. > :12:02.face. It's one thing if your dog eats your homework. Another thing if

:12:03. > :13:24.she eats your dream car. Comeback. We will see what happened. This is

:13:25. > :13:30.one to top the record books for bad dogs. One man in the UK came home

:13:31. > :13:34.and discovered his pet dog had chewed through his vintage car,

:13:35. > :13:44.eating beef either grass on the bumper of an Aston Martin. -- eating

:13:45. > :13:47.the fibreglass. It used to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

:13:48. > :13:52.before someone decided to have a snack. And a major change at Subway.

:13:53. > :13:58.It's removing a chemical from its bread. The chemical is also found in

:13:59. > :14:05.some forms of shoe rubber. It follows a petition that asked the

:14:06. > :14:08.chain to stop using the ingredients. Subway says it began removing that

:14:09. > :14:38.chemical before the petition was launched. And you know how we all

:14:39. > :14:38.are? Last year, we lost 60 million mobile phones at airports. If

:14:39. > :14:39.someone making money from our forgetfulness?

:14:40. > :14:39.It's that moment we all dread. Scrambling through the airport,

:14:40. > :14:40.running out of a taxi, realising you have left something behind. In

:14:41. > :14:44.hotels, 46 million items have been left behind. And over 600,000

:14:45. > :14:50.laptops left at the airport every year. But well does it all go? It

:14:51. > :14:56.turns out your loss is someone else's am. Welcome to a warehouse

:14:57. > :15:10.just outside of Denver, where four times per year, the city auctions

:15:11. > :15:24.off items lost and found. Chainsaws, mandolins, even a tribal sceptre.

:15:25. > :15:28.One man made $1 million on the thing is lost or left behind. He will even

:15:29. > :15:35.pick up furniture on the side of the street. Those sunglasses could be

:15:36. > :15:42.worth $275. If there is an opportunity for me to make extra

:15:43. > :15:47.money, I will do it. He looks for options like this one across the

:15:48. > :15:52.country. We bid on things that have a higher value that we can turn

:15:53. > :15:58.around. This couple made $70,000 in profits last year. Someone has to

:15:59. > :16:05.benefit. We take it and use it to support our family. Next time you

:16:06. > :16:11.lose something behind, remember, finders keepers, losers we pose. --

:16:12. > :16:39.losers weepers. At least Thursday offers the

:16:40. > :16:44.prospect of a day where strong wind won't be a problem for many parts of

:16:45. > :16:51.the UK. However, we still have concerns about the amount of rain

:16:52. > :16:52.that is on its way. This is Saturday's
