05/03/2014 ABC World News with Diane Sawyer

trillion of national debt. The rest of the day's news in around

20 minutes, but now it is time for ABC World News.

Welcome to ABC World News. Tonight, Russia's President Putin draws his

mind to date and so this President Obama. -- line today. Are we closer

to conflict tonight? Record cold freezing the roads

again. A convoy of trucks stranded on the ice. Temperatures plunged to

their lowest in a century. News about anger that takes a toll

on your heart long after you think it is over.

The family recipe that turn their mother into a millionaire.

How you can make big money with what you are cooking for Denver. --

dinner. Good evening. We begin with that

face-off between two of the world's superpowers. Russia and the United

States and the United States on a chess game filled with tension

tonight. The eyes of the world are still right here. In the middle,

Ukraine, Crimea and an international tug-of-war. We can speak to our

chief foreign correspondent. At this airbase Ukrainian troops,

I'm armed, marched towards the Russian guns. As they marched they

sang the national anthem. -- a -- a non-. The Russians yelled and then

fired. Warning shots. But the first shots fired and then negotiations.

The Ukrainians withdrew. It was a day of high tension. Russia

launching an ICBM, scheduled, but still a statement. In Kiev, the

Ukrainian capital, John Kerry walked the streets where scores of

Ukrainians died in protests. Then he pressed the revolution. What they

stood for, I say with full conviction, will never be stolen by

bullets, by invasions and is called freedom. Vladimir Putin offered a

different version, a different reality. And Ukrainian government is

illegitimate, he said. He said the US must stop encouraging what he

called a legal change in the territory of the former Soviet

Union. -- illegal. He was a loyal KGB officer for 15 years. This is

what the country looked like back then. A colossus. Here is how a

trunk when the Soviet Union collapsed. He called it the greatest

catastrophe of the century. He was born in a large Soviet space that

encompassed a huge part of the earth. They still call themselves

Soviet. They're mostly meant Russian. President Obama said that

President Putin is not fooling anybody. But President Putin wants

to shape history. He is doing just that in the Ukraine.

John Kerry was on the ground in Ukraine today. We can speak to a

reporter travelling with him. Is the United States closer to conflict

with Russia tonight or not? Vladimir Putin may already have gotten what

he wants, Crimea. It is possible he will not push any further. This is

the way he negotiates. He is a bully. This is how he operates. But

there are going to be meetings. There are negotiations. John Kerry

will be meeting with the Russian Foreign Minister in Paris. He wants

to get this settled as soon as possible. Can the United States let

Russia keep Crimea this way? The simple answer to that, is Europe

going to go to war over Crimea? Thank you.

We have a note about the uncertainty in Ukraine causing an effect on the

markets at home. Stocks were in a freefall. Tonight, a giant rally.

The single best day on Wall Street will be. -- all year.

We move to the cold covering the eastern half of this country. Arctic

air is pushing its way into the South. Much is setting new records.

-- March. Some people are making a fortune on the freeze.

Mother Nature's March madness. Pass that upside down. -- car is flipped.

A truck accident backed up traffic for miles. Passengers stranded

overnight. And ice storm in Houston. Trees brought down and

power knocked out. It has been a winter for the books. In Chicago it

is official. The most days at or below zero ever. Car sales are

down. Dealerships empty. Nobody comes out. They are afraid. Air

alliance taking a hit. About 1 million flights cancelled this

season. -- air lines. Roofing contractors and car repair shops can

barely keep up with the business. Our business is through the roof. If

I could get more hours out of my guys, I would. Which products are up

135%. Bookings for warm destinations up 38%. Even in New Orleans, Mardi

Gras is mighty cold. And here in the midwest it has been

so coldly to Michigan and the other great Lakes are more than 90%

frozen. Looks like a Glaisher.

Now news tonight about anger at what anger really does to your heart.

There is a study tonight and it is a wake-up call.

Anger can have a powerful effect on our behaviour. And as it turns out,

our bodies. That new study finding that losing a temp could lead to a

heart attack. Researchers looked at studies around the world. Having an

angry outburst makes you almost five times more likely to have a heart

attack. It is not just in the moment you blow your top, the risk lingers

two hours after you become angry and even if you hold the anger inside.

Does this confirm what a lot of people thought intuitively that your

emotions can have an effect on your physical state? Absolutely. Your

intuition is correct. The mind and the body I connect it. The various

organ systems and certainly for cardiac. When your -- when you

scream with anger adrenaline is released into the bloodstream, blood

vessels constrict and it is harder for the heart to pump. Doctors say

the more angry outbursts you have, the more you put yourself at risk

and the effects are even worse for people with already existing house

problems like diabetes. Take deep breaths after the heat of the

moment, walk away from the situation and talk -- count to ten. A call

ahead and a healthier heart. Next, a new hat from the airlines, first it

was frequent flyer miles, then brief and fears, now a crackdown on the

size of carry on bags. The latest salvo between passengers and

airlines and passengers trying to carry bags on board. United airlines

contract workers at the beginning of the security lines are now looking

for folks who may be carrying too much. United has recently added

sizing kiosks at airports. They say this is about loading and unloading

aircraft more quickly but this is not a new policy, just in fulsome of

the rules by reminding customers of limits on the size and numbers of

bags. Passengers who make it through security with a big bag will not

have to go back to the counter, but they will have two gate check

without paying the bag fee. Today the gate -- bag police are on the

per of parole, meaning there may be more room in overhead compartments.

Dramatic images out of New Jersey today. A neighbourhood in ruins,

utilities were fixing a damaged gas line when a huge explosion erupted.

Eyewitnesses said it was so loud they thought it was a plane crash.

Six people were injured, one person has died. We want to take you inside

the South African courtroom, an emotional day of testimony and the

Oscar Pistorius. A witness breaking down on the stand, and the Olympic

athlete muffled his ears as if to block out the testimony. You can not

see this witness, she has been promised to face one not be shown on

television. Her second day of tough and relentless questioning. This is

the moment she breaks. She says the scream she heard in the

early hours of Valentine's Day last year were bloodcurdling. They were

followed by four gunshots. The team defending Oscar Pistorius

projects that account. They say he too could sound like a woman when he

screams. The witness is confused about what she heard first.

Screaming or gunshots? This man is a hero to many in South

Africa. The disabled boy who grew up to become the Blade Runner. He looks

to have everything, even the model girlfriend, until the tragic night

last year. With delays, mistakes with translation and an unhappy

judge, there is pressure on South Africa to prevent this trial on

descending into chaos. These proceedings will run for a least

another three weeks. Coming up next, real money, a taste of big success

in your life. How your family recipe could earn you a lot of money. The

dinner that turned one mother into a millionaire.

This woman who runs the site said there are more than 500 contest in 3

million and Makro cash and prizes every year. There is a lot to be one

out there. You have to claim your peace of the pie. There is more, did

you ever wonder how those celebrity ships come up with all those

cookbooks? Denise is behind some of them like Suzanne Somers. Gorgeous,

the pan is hot. She is a recipe ghostwriter. Did I tell you that?

Charging 200 and $400 per recently. From white chocolate souffle to

grasshopper pie. No one is more surprised by my success than me. You

can strike it rich in the specialty food business. Meet Erica, her

secret sauce, a ketchup alternative called what else? Not ketchup. She

packages and ships from her home. That is starting to pay off. She is

talking with big box retailers to sell the family recipe nationwide.

For most of us the cooking contests could be the easiest. Now he is

working on a top-secret pizza recipe that could wind her eight -- trip to

Italy. The verdict, I like it a lot. The sweet taste of victory. That is

real money. Finally, rooting for true underdogs, an elderly dog and

owners are on a mission to find homes for older dogs in shelters,

saying they make the best bet. See what you think. This is the face

that launched a campaign to save some of America's Barmera Bulldogs.

She looks like a punk rocker, she acts like a nun. Her name is Susie,

for her owners, she is a doll. She -- Brandon is behind the blog,

humans of New York, which features pictures of interesting New Yorkers.

He met Susie on the job -- job. What about this dog? I had never seen a

dog that interesting. She was adopted despite her age. She is

lucky, most people prefer puppies. Older dogs have a hard time finding

a home. The alternative is be in a shelter or even worse. Despite the

fact that senior dogs have a lot going for them. If you just look for

a companion a senior pet is the way to go. This woman decided to take up

her cause, starting a Facebook page. Trying to find dogs like this one a

new family. He posted it on his blog and it went viral, the first dog

adopted in two days. She is called Mina. Soon a typo was adopted in

Georgia, and Roscoe in Oregon. 20 dogs finding for ever homes thus

far. One funny little face and one big viral movement saving lives

tonight in that classic America strong tradition, by rooting for the

underdog. Thank you for watching. Nightline is later. We will leave

you tonight with a party in new Orleans. The coldest Mardi Gras in

20 years. Not enough to take the fire out of the farm. Good times

rolling down there. See you back here tomorrow. -- fire out of the

farm. Temperatures are falling again. A

cold start to the day but a day of contrasts across England and Wales.

Temperatures are falling again. A cold start to the day It will start

cold with a touch of frost but most of the places will have a fine day.

Through the morning, plenty of
