Mike Embley will be here in 20 minutes time. Time now for a look at | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
the news as seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
World News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome to what news. Breaking news | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
from General Motors, pulling 1 million cars off the road. A new | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
problem on top of the trouble with airbags. Midnight hour, the race to | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
sign up for Healthcare ahead of tonight's deadline. | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
New video tonight of a dramatic rescue at sea after a 90 minute | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
trapped in the waves. And coming home from America's wars. A call to | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
action to help the hidden heroes. Those who fought for us. | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
A good evening to you. We have regular news from General Motors, | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
another big recall. 1.3 million cars. This time from power steering | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
cutting out. Right on the heels of the problem with ignition and | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
airbags. This new recall comes on the eve of a piece of tomorrow of a | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
new head of General Motors and drink of less before Congress about what | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
is going on at the company. Our correspondent start of. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
It is the stunning revelation tonight that a new recall, 1.3 | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
million more can't recall this time for steering problems. Coming just | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
one day before the automaker testified before Congress about it | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
handling of the other recall involving ignition switches that | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
took GM more than a decade to make and cost at least 13 people their | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
lives. For our daughter and the other victims, there are still | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
people out there driving this vehicle who should not be driving | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
it. GM has now recalled 2.6 million cars because the ignition switches | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
could turn off unexpectedly, shutting down the car's power and | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
safety system. In testimony just released by the committee, the GM | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
CEO will say tomorrow that she is deeply sorry. Reiterating her | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
promise to conduct a thorough investigation. According to these | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
newly released documents, it was a series of missteps by both GM and | :02:26. | :02:34. | |
regulators. In 2002, GM approved using the faulty switches even after | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
the outside vendor divided test results that showed GM apart did not | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
meet specifications. It doesn't bite, GM engineers met to consider | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
making changes to the switches but decided against it. The house also | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
finding that in 2007 and 2010 after reports the ignition problems | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
disabled airbags, regulator still declined to open enquiries because | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
they did not think there was enough crash evidence. GM will have | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
something to say at tomorrow's hearings. They could also give some | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
families some answers. Tonight, a mad scramble is under way | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
as the midnight hour approaches. It is the deadline to sign up for | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
Obamacare. The website faltered today after that infamously troubled | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
start. in mind to sign up for Healthcare. | :03:28. | :03:45. | |
We will be here until midnight. In Miami, long lines as well. And San | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
Antonio. It looked like election day as the BP visited enrolment centres | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
in Washington and made his last minute pitch on a talk show. Any | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
young person listening, if you don't need these for your peace of mind, | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
do it for your mother. Do it for your father. Get health coverage. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Deadline date has brought an Obamacare surge. More than a million | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
visitors to Healthcare .gov. Even now, there were still glitches. The | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
website was down to ours and again early this afternoon. The countdown | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
clock on the website was off. It was not 16 days until the deadline but | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
16 hours. White House dog is joined a push to date that also saw some | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
odd presidential appearances designed to appeal to young people. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
Have you heard of the website? In a mash up of celebrity endorsements, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
parodied by television shows. Many questions are still unanswered, | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
including how many people have paid to roll? How many have paid? That we | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
do not have those figures. The White House has `` says 6 million have | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
signed up but they have not said how many were previously uninsured. Both | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
critical measures of this success. Next we turned to an urgent warning | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
from some of the world 's top scientists. This is their message | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
will stop the unforgiving wincing, those ferocious fires, extreme | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
weather we have all endured good indeed be a herald of a new normal. | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
Planet change. They say it is a reality that humans help create on | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
the planet. It is not the future, it is here. | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Bigger storms. This one last night in Hong Kong flooding eight shopping | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
maul. Today's ominous reports blending the increase on global | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
warming. The wildfires in the US. The iMac it was awful to watch it | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
burned down. Devastating drought in the west. Higher food prices for | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
all. The nation coastline under pressure from rising seas, lower | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Manhattan and the Jersey shore underwater during hurricane in | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Sandy. Last year alone, the US suffered seven weather disaster | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
events. Costing the country $7 billion and 109 lives. You lack the | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
global warming that have occurred is already having impacts. While global | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
warming is easier to see at the polls, this report by the UN side | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
panel says there is no more debate, global warming is real and here. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Wreaking havoc worldwide and is caused by humans. You lack is | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
consistent with human activities, particularly greenhouse gas | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
emissions. America is making some progress in cutting back emissions, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
unfortunately, India and China are not. Which is now rising three to | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
five degrees worldwide since the 1950s. Despite America's recent | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
winter, around the globe, Tony 13 was one of the warmest years ever. | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
An update from the Indian Ocean and the search for the missing plane, | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
flight 370. Word that the new degree spotted in the water raised some | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
hope of is `` solving the mystery, including for orange objects, turned | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
out to be a false lead. Fishing equipment. The search continues. | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
Next, join us on a special mission that has a direct impact on every | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
community and every family across this country. As America's wars end, | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
tens of thousands of wounded veterans have been coming home. | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
Every day, every night, hidden army of loving caregivers take up the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
struggle of their own for the rest of their lives. A groundbreaking | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
study was released today, showing 1.1 million caregivers younger than | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
ever at risk of major problems of their own and they need help. | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
Tonight, coming home, a cry for the people inside the world of hidden | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
heroes. When a hero goes to war, so does the family. All the dreams of | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
all the families of warriors who went off to fight with everything | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
they had. But when they were wounded, though one has a medal for | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
the people now taking up their fight at home. Like Jessica, with her | :08:47. | :09:00. | |
6`foot tall husband. Today, she is the primary caregiver as he fights | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
his way back from an IED explosion in Afghanistan. The loss of legs and | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
an arm, the muscle that allows him to sit down and massive lower body | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
injury. We know that his courage is incalculable. How many days do you | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
say, you can't do it? Pretty much daily. It's funny, the people around | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
me have much more confidence in me and my abilities than I do. There is | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
the Mother Teresa quote, God only gives you as much as you can handle. | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Apparently got inside pretty good. She is just one of over 1 million | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
caregivers who do the impossible. She is tiny but his support at home. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
When they travel. At times, I have had to pick him up and carry him to | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
his aeroplane seat. It was his legs failed. And showered him? I have had | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
to pick him up soaking wet and try not to drop him while I am on foot | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
in the tub at one foot out. She didn't know that someone caring for | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
her husband at the hospitals was watching the other caregivers. This | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
former Senator seeing the battle that caregivers base. She | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
commissioned a report to put some hard numbers to these caregivers. Is | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
this a crisis? I think so. A societal crisis that requires a | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
national response. The needs of the caregivers remain largely unknown. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
These are people who just voluntarily... They are and am paid | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
workforce, no question. The majority trying to juggle full`time jobs and | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
full`time caregiving. Nearly 30% can't get it and have to give up | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
jobs altogether. Did you have any doubt she would be here every step | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
of the way? Not once. Nearly one third have no health insurance for | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
themselves and nearly 40% are at risk of major depression. | :11:01. | :11:10. | |
Depression, real depression? Yes. It's a process but I grieve. He | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
grieves. We grieve together and we grieve apart. There was a life we | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
were supposed to have and we grieve for it, yes. It's very difficult. Is | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
what we heard all over the country. Not only the medical responsibility | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
of life and death but being a therapist and taking on a system | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
that can be famously bureaucratic. A constant battle. Always more | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
redtape. A constant rush of everything. Green, redtape. She is | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
as much of a warrior as I was in Afghanistan. `` the redtape. A | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
nation coming home from war but millions of caregivers, for whom the | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
war will never end. She is organising a nationwide effort to go | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
state`by`state, combining faith, nonprofits, government, to help the | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
caregivers. Standing by her, her husband. A war hero and once wounded | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
himself, giving absolute to all of those who care for the wounded | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
today. I am trying to inspire organisations and Americans all | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
across this country to support these hidden heroes, because their story | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
really is not known across America. And these are the very people who | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
are caring for those who cared for us. So, do you want to say | :12:38. | :12:48. | |
something? I want to say, don't forget about us. In the coming days, | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
we will tell you about ideas people have to help these caregivers. If | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
you want to learn more about this, go to our website. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
Up next, man overboard. New video of a rescue at sea. A sailor swept away | :13:07. | :13:16. | |
by giant waves and how he kept his head above water until help arrives. | :13:17. | :14:43. | |
Officials in California are on alert, keeping a watchful eye over a | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
surprising outbreak, the measles. Thought to have been eliminated in | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
the US. Tonight, it's back. The number of cases climbing. The choice | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
by parents might be the reason. You have probably never seen this. | :14:54. | :15:05. | |
Neither has your doctor. Measles, caused by one of the most contagious | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
viruses around. 49 cases in California. Last year, four. Very | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
contagious. We are trying to prevent the exposure and spread. Measles can | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
be deadly but it pretty much disappeared in America over the past | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
20 years. Most people vaccinated toddlers on schedule. Some ignore | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
that now. Why are we seeing these outbreaks? Parents aren't aware of | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
measles, so they are spreading out these vaccines, leaving their | :15:38. | :15:38. | |
children susceptible. The warning signs: it looks like a bad cold. | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
The rash, classic and not always present in some individuals, comes | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
later. Which is why health officials are urging anyone who hasn't been | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
vaccinated to get that shot. Nothing less than the holy Grail. | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Historians say they have found it. The cup Jesus drag from the last | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
supper. They say it was found in Spain and was fused into this ornate | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
goblet. `` drank from. They say ancient documents show it is the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
real deal. It was given as a peace offering to a Spanish king. Carbon | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
dating traces it back to the time of Jesus. Since the news broke, the | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
tiny church where it is housed has been flooded with believers, hoping | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
to get a look. Next, a harrowing rescue at sea caught on camera. A | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
sailor swept overboard during a race around the world. Barely visible and | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
struggling to keep his head above water as the crew for giant waves to | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
take him to safety. The ocean was so rough, the waves is | :16:49. | :16:59. | |
a relentless, it is hard to believe the sailboat stayed afloat. `` waves | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
so relentless. There he was. At first just a speck of yellow. | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
46`year`old Andrew Taylor spent 1.5 hours battling the Pacific Ocean, | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
during a storm. He fell overboard changing the sale but never gave up | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
hope. I didn't know if you are looking for me or not. I didn't `` | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
didn't know if you had seen me. Little did he know his crewmates | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
were giving up, either. I was winning around... Thinking you would | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
be back quickly. It got further and further away. After all, they were | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
2500 miles from San Francisco in the middle of the Pacific. They were | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
onboard a racing yacht, one of 12 teams racing around the world. They | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
were on the 10th leg of the race, travelling between China and the US, | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
when they lost their man. He only likely survived because he was | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
wearing a life jacket and a dry suit. It probably didn't hurt he | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
spent the last seven months on the water. | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
Tonight, the crew is back together and back in the race. Although one | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
lucky sailor might have already won the ultimate battle. For survival. | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
We thank you for watching tonight. See you again tomorrow. | :18:31. | :18:57. | |
T's a quiet weather story at the moment. Most of the chatter has | :18:58. | :18:58. |
