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.
