heart is through the pound. Time now for a look at the news as | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
News with Dianne Sawyer. Tonight, millions of Americans are | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
battling the fast, furious and frozen finale of a record-breaking | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
storm. Ice, falling like missiles, firefighters barely able to see the | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
flames, drivers stranded in their cars. Half a million Americans | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
without power on a dark and stormy night. Your cable bill. What will | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
happen tonight if Time Warner is bought out? | :00:37. | :00:47. | |
Good evening. As we come on the air, 100 million Americans have an hit by | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
a winter storm packing pretty much everything in the weather arsenal. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
This map shows the ferocious speed and power. Barrelling from Texas, | :01:00. | :01:09. | |
across the south, and up the coast to Maine. | :01:10. | :01:31. | |
With snow, ice, wind and rain, the storm that crippled the south, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
killing at least 20 people, is still wreaking havoc. Whiteout conditions | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
from the nation's capital to the treacherous New York straightaway. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Winds whipping a house fire in New York City, at least seven injured. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
In New York, a pregnant woman was struck and killed by a plough, her | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
baby saved. In Pennsylvania, a state of emergency still left over from | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
the last storm. We helped this woman did her car out. She lost power for | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
three days last week, and again last week. -- last night. I have a coat | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
on, and I have been wearing it inside. Per 100 -year-old mother had | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to go to the hospital to stay warm. This title with breathing problems | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
evacuated. I boil water in a big pan, and then I dump it in the sink. | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
For now, the food in her fridge is Phil Gould. Hundreds of schools are | :02:32. | :02:49. | |
closed, but in the authorities defended their decision. In | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Philadelphia, we have nine inches of snow today. Some people taking | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
advantage, sledding down these steps. Another 3-6 inches expected | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
tonight. We are going to head south, where | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
will families are telling survival stories after abandoning their cars | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
on frozen roads. They were hardly in houses without power, and our | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
correspondence is with them. More than half an inch of ice | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
finally starting to melt today. Not before bringing down trees and | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
leaving more than 100,000 in the dark. More than half a million | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
people still without power tonight. For someone who is sitting at home | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
without power, that is a bad place to be, and we understand that. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Authorities say people should not use a fireplace to cook food. These | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
people lost power, and accidentally burned down their house with the | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
fireplace. Families across seven states will need candles tonight. In | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Charlotte, the people of this Baptist Church were underneath a | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
collapsed roof. These people explained why they walked away from | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
their cars. Cars around me were spinning. Tonight, families have to | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
watch out for falling trees. By the time you hear something hit the roof | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
you come out and... Mystery was brought down not by the wind, not by | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
the snow, by the weight of the ice now melting below it. Listen closely | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
to the sound of danger. Falling ice from city skyscrapers. It just can't | :04:43. | :04:54. | |
melt fast enough. Now from that ice and the coalition to the chaos in | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the skies. One in five flights cancelled. By one calculation, the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
worst day for cancellations this winter. Or than 1 million travellers | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
delayed in a kind of dominant effect. | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
-- domino effect. Massive snowploughs race to clear | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
open -- unopened runways as hundreds of thousands of passengers... I've | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
had three flights cancelled. Remain grounded. We were on a flight at | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
9am. Now we are rebooked for 7pm tonight. While Washington's runways | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
were closed for much of the day, a few flights got out of the | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
north-east airports. Airlines wasted no time cancelling flights, letting | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
many aircraft sit out the storm. One in five flights translates to over | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
6000 flights, rippling throughout the country. Airlines even moved | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
planes out of the east and will start moving them back tonight. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
Atalanta was trying to bounce back from its storm. Warm winds there | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
today. Tonight, a look at what workers to all season, prepping | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
claims for takeoff. You can tell the different colours of the ice. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Basically, we are getting it off. This is antifreeze. In Philadelphia, | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
they will use 20,000 gallons of the aviation type of this. Good news, | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
you are seeing some planes behind us. It should be better tomorrow. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Less than 500 flights cancelled for tomorrow. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
20,000 gallons! What a month this has been. | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
In New York, seven storms in seven weeks. Tonight, a lot of people | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
across the country are praying for better weather. Prayers and said? | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
Warm enough to have drizzle but we are switching back to snow. There | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
will be up to another six inches overnight. Let me show you what's | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
happening. Now that you know you will be getting more snow tonight, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
anywhere from parts of Maryland, up through New York City. Valentine's | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Day is clear. Look at Cincinnati. The new snow storm will slide across | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
on Friday night, through early Saturday. It looks like we will pick | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
up more snow into the weekend. Look at this. If it feels like it has | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
been non-stop, you are right. In New York City, we have had seven days | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
where we have had more than one inch of snow, adding up to 40 inches | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
since the beginning of this year. Philadelphia, for example, in their | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
fifth snowiest year ever. Last year, just half a foot was the average. | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
More like 12! Then, 53.5 inches is where we are at this year. | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
If you have a General Motors compact car in your driveway augur Raj, we | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
have a warning. -- or garage. They are recalling some of their older | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
models because they thought -- because of a faulty switch that can | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
cause the engine to shut down without warning. It has been | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
responsible for six deaths and over 20 crashes. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
We have all of the details on our website. Now to the news reaching | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
into American living rooms tonight. Time Warner cable and Com cast | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
joining forces. -- Comcast. What will this mean for our access and | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
service and the already skyhigh cable bills? Today, Comcast | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
announcing it will team up with Time Warner cable and grow its foot and | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
30 million households, becoming the biggest cable provider. -- growing | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
its footprint. Congress will be looking very closely at the whole | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
business of pricing. Comcast says the deal will benefit consumers but | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
some watchdogs say not so, telling us this deal would lead to less | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
consumer choice, less diversity and much higher cable bills. In general, | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
mergers tend to drive up prices. We looked back at other recent mergers | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
today and, if it happens, prices could go up to 14% in the case of a | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
deal. That is based on other mergers. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Thank you on this big news tonight. Next, a plea for help. One family's | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
fight to reunite to children living very far apart. The parents | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
determined to win this fight. We will be back. | :09:54. | :10:34. | |
Next, we have been seeing a lot of the Winter Olympics but today a | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
reminder of the country behind the celebration. Russia, which has | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
banned American adoptions, today extended the ban all countries that | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
allow same-sex marriage. Tonight, too little brothers are leaving the | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
divide, separated by 5000 miles and so much more. | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
This is the Thomas family from Minnesota. My dream of being a mum | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
happened. It was all of those emotions that I would say you would | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
go through, as if you are having your own baby. They are happy and | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
healthy but in their incomplete family. Jack has a five-year-old | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
brother. He is still in an orphanage in Russia. If he came home tonight, | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
we would have a big party with chocolate and watch movies! Blow me | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
a kiss! He loves giving jitters. Almost four years ago, they were | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
close to reuniting the brothers. I thought it was going to go just like | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
our first adoption. But we would go home and be back to pick him up. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
There was never a thought in my mind that we wouldn't return to bring him | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
home. Suddenly, Russia changed the law and the band came into force. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
After a string of high profile cases, one child sent to America was | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
delivered back to America alone, no longer wanted. Another toddler died | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
when his new father left him in hot car. As the world's focus is on | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
Vladimir Putin, Rene is now appearing on Russian television to | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
make a direct appeal. It means everything to us. To be able to have | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
his brother home and raise them together, we wouldn't be fighting so | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
hard if it didn't mean so much to us. Lawyers and politicians here are | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
telling us they are in no doubt that politics has played a part in this. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Of course it is children who are caught in the middle. | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
How instant index begins with a change coming to your Facebook page | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
starting today. The 150 million Facebook users in the US can choose | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
their gender in a whole new way. Facebook profiles that identified as | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
male or female and also androgynous, transgender, 50 choices in all. The | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
move comes after Facebook users lobbied for more options. One | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
engineer said today that it will impact a lot of people but for the | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
few it does it means the world. -- it won't impact. | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
News over the international jewel thieves known as the Pink Panther | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
gang. You can see them in action here, smashing the luxury car | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
through a more in Dubai and making off with millions. -- mall in Dubai. | :13:33. | :13:42. | |
Tonight, this man is under arrest. He is Serbian, 33, arrested in | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
Madrid. Police believe he was part of that brazen heist in Dubai. Don't | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
say we didn't warn you, this is not for the faint of heart. New video. | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
The group of extreme athletes trying to master a slack line stretching | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
between two hot air balloons, hundreds of feet in the air. Watch. | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
One after another they go down. What, don't worry, they have | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
parachutes. Finally, the Valentine's Day challenge in the snow and ice. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
How do you carry a fragile flower across a river of ice? With | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
creativity. On this day, it is one of the most | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
important jobs in America. Delivering those Valentine's Day | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
flowers was troubled today. With businesses closed, this North | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
Carolina florist was ground to a halt. This 24 hour period is Super | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Bowl for florists when many do up to 20 times their normal business. Last | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
year, 233 million roses were grown for Valentine's Day. We might be | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
delivering late but we do what we need to do. We joined a delivery man | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
as he set out on foot through the slush and snow, determined to | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
deliver this bouquet. In Georgia, the weather was so bad a sheriff | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
actually cancelled Valentine's Day in his county, citing safety | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
concerns. I would hope that all of the people who are usually on the | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
receiving end with the understanding and would cut us guys some slack. It | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
has triggered a Valentine's Day panic. One person said: | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
Others are getting creative. Check out these alternative | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
bouquets, made up of whatever is in the house. Some people just push on. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
This man and his cargo did make it to where they have to be. Somebody | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
loves you. After all, what is a little snow... OK, a lot of snow, | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
when it comes to Valentine's Day? I hope you spend the big night with | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
us tomorrow night. Thanks for watching. Have a great evening. | :16:00. | :16:12. | |
Thursday offered some respite but a different kettle of fish on Friday. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Quiet across central and northern parts of Britain in the first part | :16:19. | :16:21. |
