requirements of rolling it out across England. Most schools will | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
deliver but it is proving a struggle for some. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Mike Embley is with you in 20 minutes. Now time to catch up with | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
the news as seen across the United States a couple of hours ago with | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
ABC World News with Diane Sawyer. See you soon. Tonight, men, women | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
and money. President takes aim at a secret in the workplace. In this | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
election year saying it is time to take action on equal pay for equal | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
work. Breaking down. Oscar Pistorius sobs on the stand. Tonight, giving | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
his version of the shooting of his girlfriend. And a famous dream come | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
true? Christopher Reeve only imagined it. But tonight, watch this | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
paralysed man do this. Left leg up. A breakthrough seen here on World | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
News. Good evening on this Tuesday night. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Tonight, the explosive issue of equal pay for equal work is front | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
and centre in the news. Today Barack Obama said it is time to take | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
action, signing an executive order aimed directly at a workplace | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
secret. In the gap in pay between men and women doing the same job. We | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
have been finding out what changed today. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Tennessee mother Terri Kelly and executive at a pharmaceutical | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
company only found out she was underpaid because her husband worked | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
for the same company doing the same job. I really thought, you know, | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
this can't be. This is not happening in today's world. She says he got a | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
higher starting salary, more frequent bumps in pay and was | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
promoted more quickly, earning an estimated $65,000 more than her over | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
nine years. To see consistently year after year the pay disparity was a | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
really tough lesson. Today at the White House Barack Obama said it is | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
time to go on the attack. I've got two daughters and I expect them to | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
be treated just like anybody's sons. By signing an executive order | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
the president said if you want government money you have to let | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
everyone in your company discussed how much they make, an assault on | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the fact that tonight half of all workers say they are required to | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
stay silent about their salary or they can get in trouble. Employers | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
can argue they are really protecting the business culture and strategy | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
and the competitiveness. This is data that belongs to the company. If | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
women could eliminate the pay gap, the average working woman could pay | :02:28. | :02:53. | |
for more than a years worth of food in California, ten months rent in | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Georgia, and more than 1900 gallons of gas in Florida. And maybe | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
today's push will embolden women to ask for more without fears of losing | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
their jobs. Look at what happened in our ABC behaviour lab. 16 volunteers | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
were told they would be paid between $5 and $12 to play a game. 60% of | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
the men asked for compensation, only a third of women bargained. As a | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
woman you have to worry about how you're going to be perceived in that | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
negotiation if you decide to say something. It's going to be obvious | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
women face more challenges. Challenges costing a lifetime of | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
money. It is an election year and the White House hopes highlighting | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
this issue will help the Democrats in November are quite although the | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
pay cheque fairness act is to be considered by the Senate soon, it is | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
unlikely to get through the House, the right calling it a bizarre | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
obsession, and the women in the White House make 88 cents to the | :03:36. | :03:43. | |
men's dollar. Very interesting. Next tonight we turn to a gripping turn | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
of events in the most watched murder trial around the globe. Oscar | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Pistorius removed his prosthetic legs in the courtroom and broke | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
down, sobbing as he gave his version of what happened the moment he shot | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
and his girlfriend. `` and killed. Today Oscar Pistorius | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
describing for the first time publicly the chilling moment he | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
realised he had killed his girlfriend, the reality star, Reeva | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Steenkamp. When the words stopped, the sobbing | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
began. The judge abruptly leaving the | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
courtroom, but his howls only intensified. The defence has asked | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
that none of his testimony be shown on video. Oscar Pistorius walking | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
out of court after crumpling on the witness stand. In court we watched | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
as he started to sob and then while, then put his head in his hands and | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
crumple on to the witness stand. In earlier testimony he said he headed | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
to bed harmoniously with Steenkamp that night, waking up to what he | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
says he thought were intruders. Going into combat mode. | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
He testified he called for her but says he heard nothing. At this point | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
Reeva's mother, normally sitting stonefaced on the frontbench, | :05:17. | :05:17. | |
covering her eyes. But she had died nearly instantly. | :05:18. | :05:35. | |
Another dramatic moment, Pistorius was asked to remove his prosthetic | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
legs in court and stand by that bullet ridden bathroom door. The | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
defence trying to show his vulnerability at the time of the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
shooting. We expect him back on the stand tomorrow but tonight legal | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
analysts are saying all that emotion might be harming his case, the judge | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
is only supposed to weigh up the facts. Analysts are saying they | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
would like all that sobbing. Now we head to Ukraine, a country on | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
a hair trigger. New signs of unrest, even lawmakers brawling in | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Parliament. Tonight a new war of words between the US and Russia. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
An all`out brawl today in Ukraine's parliament. While in the eastern | :06:20. | :06:28. | |
part of the country, run activists seize government buildings. `` | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
armed. Signs of a growing chaos. First and Russia took Crimea. Now | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
unrest is sweeping the east. The US today accused Russia of fuelling the | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
violence to justify a possible invasion. It is clear that Russian | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
special forces and agents were the catalyst behind the chaos of the | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
past 24 hours. Russia is firing back, saying 150 American | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
mercenaries have been hired by Ukraine and accusing them of causing | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
instability. Russia says that they work for an American company called | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Greystone. Supplied soldiers for higher during the Iraq War. Tensions | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
between the US and Russia are once again rising tonight as our fears | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
over what Russia planning next. Back at home, a wake`up call about | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
some popular cars and a lot of American driveways. SUV 's. New | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
crash test results were released and only two out of nine received the | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
top rating. The others were ranked acceptable or marginal and three | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
were categorised as poor. So dire that Consumer Reports revoked their | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
recommended waiting for all three. `` meeting. It is a common and often | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
deadly type of accident. We have all the rankings online. | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
Tonight, the FBI are scrambling to solve the mystery in the heartland. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Drivers warned to be vigilant as they make their way home. Class | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
riddled with bullets, terrified families inside. Tonight authorities | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
are trying to detect a pattern. Tonight, federal agents look for a | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
possible spree shooter who has been terrorising the Kansas City area. | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
Tom McFarlane is to be happier to be alive after his car was shot. I did | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
not know what it was, so I pulled over. That is when I saw the bullet. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
The shootings were a long interstate for 35 and 470. In one shooting and | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
had identified that was shot by somebody wearing a ski mask and | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
good. In another, a woman heard a loud noise and was shocked to see a | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
bullet hole in the door next to her three`year`old daughter. Luckily | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
nobody has been killed. It is scary to think that somebody is just going | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
out without any regard to what has happened. This woman thinks that she | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
might be victim number 14. It was not another vehicle in sight. We | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
were hit on the right side. Kansas City police are trying to find out | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
if they have a serial shooter. You are right on the edge of somebody | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
getting killed. Any time you have a random shooter with no reason or | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
mindset behind them. It is causing a problem for everyone. There is a | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
sense of urgency to match before more shots are fired. `` tonight. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
And now trade debate about politics and forgiveness. | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
A Louisiana Republican is digging into night, caught kissing one of | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
his staff members. While he is offering apologies he is not | :10:30. | :10:42. | |
offering to resign. His congressmen is promising to run | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
for re`election. He is asking forgiveness for this case. He can be | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
seen in this surveillance video in this district office. He ran on a | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
ticket of Christian values. Just four months ago we sat down with the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
Congressmen, who said that he would not be changed by Washington. If I | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
had a dollar for every time I have been told that you are a good man, | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
do not let it change you. But now he acknowledges that there is no doubt | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
he has fallen short. As members of Congress leave the | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
capital today, Congressmen McAllister is not among them. It is | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
the second day in a row he has not voted. The American people deserve | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
all of their representatives in Washington to hold to a very high | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
standard of behaviour and conduct. This is not a freight house. He says | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
that he is staying put. As for the women in the video, she resigned. | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
Up next, is a hope finally coming true? He remembered the Christopher | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Reed at ensuring a man walking in his dream? Tonight, an amazing | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
breakthrough helping paralysed patients who began. `` walk again. | :12:14. | :13:38. | |
We begin with a headline about the modern American family. The number | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
of stay`at`home mothers is on the rise. 30% of American mothers do not | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
work outside the home. That is 29% up from 1999. Asian and Hispanic | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
families are the most likely to have a mother who lives at home. | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
A massive herd of all has more than 1 million followers around the | :14:01. | :14:10. | |
world. `` help. A car in the distance has to slow to a stop. And | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
then one tiny elk pulling up the rear finds it a bit tall. | :14:18. | :14:26. | |
He finally clears it and catches up with his family. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
And the new picture has a lot of true believers asking if they have | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
proof of life on Mars. Here it is, the landscape on Mars. But the | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
closely, a tiny white light in the upper left`hand corner. Could it be | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
some strange clue to the mystery of life? Nasser has not weighed in. We | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
do know another camera did not capture any sign of light. `` Naas. | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
What next, a day we have long to see, a medical breakthrough for | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
paralysed patients gaining the ability to move again. Spinal`cord | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
injuries may no longer be a lifelong sentence of paralysis. | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
Kent was paralysed from the chest down in 2009. Robert, who had a | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
future in baseball, was told he would never walk again. And a | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
motorcycle accident left drew eight quadriplegic. These are the faces of | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
a breakthrough. It is all because of a stimulator implanted in the | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
bodies, controlled by a remote control. Try to lift opulent. `` to | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
lift up your leg. These men had even stood up. What was it like? It felt | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
incredible. I have been in a chair for two years. You forget how tall | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
you are. It is amazing. I feel like King Kong. I am feeling emotional. | :16:22. | :16:35. | |
It is not easy. Experts tonight say there has never been anything like | :16:36. | :16:46. | |
this, calling it groundbreaking. Here is how it works. A spinal | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
injury disrupts the communication from the rain to the legs. This | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
device sends signals into the injured spine, helping the green | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
signal travel. To present this award, we have some very special | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
guests. It was the dream captured in this famous commercial with the late | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Christopher Reeve. His foundation helped fund the project, who say it | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
is groundbreaking for the 1.2 million Americans who lacked control | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
of their lives. `` limbs. And that future is now. There is not a word | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
to capture how much hope I have. More research needs to be done, but | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
it provides hope for those affected. They say that this is nothing short | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
of a miracle. What is next? They have invited several more | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
patients to the study. So far, nothing but success. We thank you | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
for being with us tonight. See you tomorrow. | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
Most of us had a lovely day on Tuesday with a good deal of | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
sunshine. It looks pretty quiet across the United | :18:19. | :18:19. |
