:00:00. > :00:00.that rebranding. That's it from me. Time now for a look at the news as
:00:00. > :00:09.seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World
:00:10. > :00:14.News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome to World News. Tonight, making a move.
:00:15. > :00:18.Hundreds of American troops sent overseas. America's new challenge to
:00:19. > :00:27.Vladimir Putin. And a report on the latest. Security breach. New details
:00:28. > :00:34.on the 15`year`old stowaway, and the big gap in airport security is. I
:00:35. > :00:37.hidden epidemic in American families. Something so secret, even
:00:38. > :00:42.doctors are missing the warning signs. And an old friend with a new
:00:43. > :00:55.message. Something she wants everyone to know, tonight. And a
:00:56. > :00:59.good evening. We begin with the United States sending Vladimir Putin
:01:00. > :01:07.a new and unmistakable message. Back off, stand down. US troops are being
:01:08. > :01:11.sent to Poland and other allies for training exercises, moving closer to
:01:12. > :01:14.the centre of the dangerous tug of war which began in Ukraine. Our
:01:15. > :01:20.correspondent tells us what this means for Americans. This is a big
:01:21. > :01:24.development tonight. The US has been watching every move Vladimir Putin
:01:25. > :01:30.has made since less than a week ago they promised they would help calm
:01:31. > :01:36.the situation in Ukraine. Quite the opposite has happened. Now we are
:01:37. > :01:43.moving in those troops as a message. With tensions rising, and the death
:01:44. > :01:49.toll as well, today marks the most blatant show of US force since the
:01:50. > :01:54.crisis began. 600 American soldiers will immediately begin deploying to
:01:55. > :02:01.Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, to conduct boots on the
:02:02. > :02:08.ground infantry exercises in support of NATO allies. A strong message to
:02:09. > :02:14.Vladimir Putin. Nothing we have seen out of Russia and the Armed Forces
:02:15. > :02:20.is the escalating the tension. These exercises were conceived as a result
:02:21. > :02:24.of what is going on in Ukraine. At the same time this warship will move
:02:25. > :02:29.into the Black Sea to replace a destroyer. This has Vladimir Putin
:02:30. > :02:32.keeps tens of thousands of his troops on the eastern border of
:02:33. > :02:36.Ukraine. It also raises fears that the swift takeover of Crimea may
:02:37. > :02:45.embolden Vladimir Putin to move into other areas. Ukrainian officials say
:02:46. > :02:47.as many as 100 Russian special forces have already crossed into
:02:48. > :02:51.eastern Ukraine, organising the hostile takeover of government
:02:52. > :02:59.buildings. They are staring up pro`Russian support. All of this
:03:00. > :03:05.prompts Joe Biden to warn Putin to get his troops and supporters out of
:03:06. > :03:09.those buildings. We need to see these kinds of concrete steps. We
:03:10. > :03:16.need to see them without delay. And how long do the troops stay there?
:03:17. > :03:22.Do we have any idea? It is expected the US will have an additional troop
:03:23. > :03:25.presence in those countries until the end of the year. They could
:03:26. > :03:30.expand to other countries if this escalates. And is now we turn to the
:03:31. > :03:35.latest on that teenage boy who claims to have stowed away next to
:03:36. > :03:39.the wheel of a jumbo jet. A mystifying story which also raises
:03:40. > :03:46.lots of questions about airport security. Tonight, new details about
:03:47. > :03:52.this 15`year`old stowaway. A high school junior, the son of a cab
:03:53. > :03:58.driver, who is starting school this year. He was a shy guy. He wasn't
:03:59. > :04:07.very talkative. A quiet kid who ran away from home after a weekend fight
:04:08. > :04:13.with his family. After scaling and and airport fence, he climbed into
:04:14. > :04:20.an airline's wheel well. Did he know that he would be in sub freezing
:04:21. > :04:26.temperatures for more than five hours? He was saved only by going
:04:27. > :04:29.into a kind of hibernation. Apparently officials didn't even
:04:30. > :04:34.know they had him on tap until Hawaiian officials called them and
:04:35. > :04:39.asked them to look. We are looking at what we need to do to improve
:04:40. > :04:43.service the situation which happened on Sunday does not occur again. We
:04:44. > :04:51.have seen perimeter security breaches before, this jeep and this
:04:52. > :04:57.truck. A man runs on the tarmac. And even a pilot trying to drive a jet
:04:58. > :05:00.off airport grounds. These airports have to meet federal standards, but
:05:01. > :05:10.local officials are responsible for securing the perimeter. Take San
:05:11. > :05:16.Jose, six miles of 6`foot fence. A report on stowaways said that
:05:17. > :05:23.security is essential to deet are these events. Do we need to do more?
:05:24. > :05:28.We need an assessment. Each airport operator should be charged with that
:05:29. > :05:33.responsibility. Congressmen is calling for an audit of perimeter
:05:34. > :05:39.security of every airport in this country. Tonight we were told that
:05:40. > :05:43.the Boree was caught on camera is in San Jose about seven hours before
:05:44. > :05:51.the flight took off. He is resting in a Hawaiian hospital tonight. And
:05:52. > :05:55.is now, a milestone in the debate around race and fairness in America.
:05:56. > :06:00.In a big decision today, the Supreme Court allowed the state of Michigan
:06:01. > :06:09.to ban affirmative action at colleges. But one justice was so
:06:10. > :06:12.passionate in opposition, passionate about discrimination in 2014, she
:06:13. > :06:18.did something she had never done before. Closely watching the Supreme
:06:19. > :06:22.Court, this girl, hoping to attend the University of Michigan this
:06:23. > :06:27.year. It's disgusting. I'm infuriated actually. It doesn't make
:06:28. > :06:31.any sense. It is a major blow for supporters of affirmative action.
:06:32. > :06:36.The court ruled in a 6`2 decision that it is OK that Michigan voters
:06:37. > :06:44.can decide that race is not a factor in their public university
:06:45. > :06:48.admissions. Today's Supreme Court decision is a victory for the
:06:49. > :06:51.Constitution and the rule of law. Justice Kennedy wrote this case is
:06:52. > :07:02.not about the debate about racial preference. It is about who may
:07:03. > :07:11.resolve it. But in a blistering dissent, who has called herself the
:07:12. > :07:19.beneficiary of affirmative action, said from the bench that race
:07:20. > :07:23.matters. The numbers show in states that have a hand raise `based
:07:24. > :07:28.admissions, student enrolment from minorities has dropped sharply. In
:07:29. > :07:34.Michigan, 10% of new students were African`American. After the ban, 5%.
:07:35. > :07:41.Five other states have similar laws in place. Do you think other states
:07:42. > :07:46.will follow Michigan's lead? This opens the door. I'm not sure how
:07:47. > :07:52.many states will walk through it. To the students, there is no thing up.
:07:53. > :08:02.This is my dream school. I will fight to get in. In other news,
:08:03. > :08:07.right after the tax deadline for so many of us, tonight we are learning
:08:08. > :08:11.that some of the taxpayer dollars sent in have been paid to IRS agents
:08:12. > :08:19.who did not pay their taxes. Even so, they were rewarded with bonuses.
:08:20. > :08:23.What is going on? If you don't pay your taxes, the IRS
:08:24. > :08:30.will come after you. Unless you happen to work at the IRS. The new
:08:31. > :08:36.watchdog report reveals the Internal Revenue Service handed out $1
:08:37. > :08:42.million in bonuses to employees who were delinquent on their federal
:08:43. > :08:45.taxes. Some of these egregious tax issues at the IRS should not be
:08:46. > :08:51.getting an award. That sounds like common sense. The report finds more
:08:52. > :08:57.than 1000 workers who did not pay their taxes received not only cash
:08:58. > :09:03.bonuses but extra time off to the tune of 10,582 hours, valued at
:09:04. > :09:08.$250,000. 69 employees got races. All of this funded with taxes you
:09:09. > :09:16.pay. If you are outraged, you are not alone. I am appalled. So many
:09:17. > :09:19.stupid things go on in our country. This report shines are light on the
:09:20. > :09:26.staggering amount of bonuses received by employees here in 2012,
:09:27. > :09:33.the agency gave $86 million in cash. Tonight, the IRS acknowledges there
:09:34. > :09:40.is work to be done, saving: `` saying:
:09:41. > :09:49.the inspector general offered this suggestion, no bonuses for employees
:09:50. > :09:51.who don't pay their taxes. Last night we reported that need to
:09:52. > :09:57.strengthen their middle class in America. Tinai, the New York Times
:09:58. > :10:02.offers a headline, saying the American middle class is no longer
:10:03. > :10:05.the most powerful affluent in the world. They estimate the US has now
:10:06. > :10:12.been surpassed by the middle class in Canada. An update on the headline
:10:13. > :10:16.about powdered alcohol, there is a new twist. Federal regulators say
:10:17. > :10:22.they are proved to be labelled for powdered alcohol by mistake. Critics
:10:23. > :10:25.worry it is too dangerous for kids. The company says it will continue
:10:26. > :10:30.trying to make it into stores in the US. Next, a report from Doctor
:10:31. > :10:37.Richard Besser with a family coming from the shadows to help tell you
:10:38. > :10:40.about a hidden epidemic. The number of hospitalised children with eating
:10:41. > :10:44.disorders has soared 72% in a decade. We are talking about young
:10:45. > :10:57.children whose doctors don't always see what is happening.
:10:58. > :11:03.Region and Grace are twins. Until the age of ten, they were like peas
:11:04. > :11:09.in a pod until Reagan began rejecting foods she used to love ``
:11:10. > :11:14.Reagan. She exercised non`stop and complained of stomach aches. I took
:11:15. > :11:19.to a doctor and he said she was on the thin side and needs to eat more.
:11:20. > :11:23.He didn't how serious this was a smack no. She lost ?30 over six
:11:24. > :11:27.months and dinnertime became a test of wills. We caught her hiding
:11:28. > :11:38.food. Was the longest she has sat at the table? Four hours. Her mother
:11:39. > :11:41.became alarmed but no psychologist would see her until she was 11. I
:11:42. > :11:45.told them that she wouldn't be alive until she was 11. She started
:11:46. > :11:52.calling treatment centres and anorexia, an eating disorder and
:11:53. > :11:55.mental illness. We see how far the disease can go in adults but it
:11:56. > :12:01.surprises a lot of people, even doctors, that it can also affect
:12:02. > :12:06.children as young as five. The warning signs can easily be chalked
:12:07. > :12:12.up to normal child behaviour. Number one, picky eating. Over exercising.
:12:13. > :12:14.In Reagan 's case, she was often jogging in circles inside her
:12:15. > :12:18.bedroom and was running for miles each day when she was supposed to be
:12:19. > :12:22.walking the dog. What would you say to a kid who says to you, I've never
:12:23. > :12:30.heard of an eating disorder, what is it? It is hard for someone to eat
:12:31. > :12:35.food and there is this voice inside their head telling them not to.
:12:36. > :12:44.Telling them not to eat food? How often are you thinking that? Lee a
:12:45. > :12:49.lot. A lot? Yes. Is it getting easier for you, or is it still hard?
:12:50. > :12:53.Luna it is getting easier. Her and her family are in therapy, which has
:12:54. > :13:03.a 50% recovery rate. They are very hopeful. Are the parents concerned?
:13:04. > :13:06.What will they do? You know your child best. If you think they have
:13:07. > :13:12.an eating disorder, you need to seek help. You have to push if you are
:13:13. > :13:18.not being taken seriously. Up next, inside a David and Goliath battle.
:13:19. > :13:23.Families to figure out a way to get cheap rooms when they travel. Guess
:13:24. > :14:33.who is fighting back. We are here in two minutes.
:14:34. > :14:43.Next, it is David versus Goliath and the prize is an affordable place to
:14:44. > :14:47.stay on a trip and real money for the renter. Tonight, the hotel
:14:48. > :14:54.industry takes on an innovative American idea and our correspondent
:14:55. > :15:01.tells us what's happening. There is a battle brewing on your next
:15:02. > :15:06.vacation. One side, the hotels. Skyrocketing prices up nearly 20% in
:15:07. > :15:12.four years. The Challenger? Companies like air B and B, offering
:15:13. > :15:17.rentals at a fraction of the price. They are booming 11 million guests
:15:18. > :15:23.are using the company each year. Homeowners use the company to rent
:15:24. > :15:30.out this video in their home. It is a way to earn a little extra. It is
:15:31. > :15:34.a reliable and significant source of income. For travellers, it is a way
:15:35. > :15:41.to save money on your next trip. In New York City, a one night stay in
:15:42. > :15:45.this apartment starts at $200. No hotel amenities, however it makes up
:15:46. > :15:50.for that in location. It is just steps away from the heart of Times
:15:51. > :15:57.Square. Look at hotel room around here and you could pay as much as
:15:58. > :16:00.$700 a night. New York's attorney general facing off with Airbnb in
:16:01. > :16:03.court today, alleging that many rentals in New York City are illegal
:16:04. > :16:07.and costing state tens of millions of dollars in unpaid sales taxes.
:16:08. > :16:14.Airbnb response, we were proud to stand up for our host to share their
:16:15. > :16:15.homes... A spokesperson for the hotel association of New York City
:16:16. > :16:30.tells us: Whether Airbnb is breaking the law
:16:31. > :16:37.or just taking the mould, the competition means for now that
:16:38. > :16:44.consumers are winning. Finally, Robin Roberts has a new book out
:16:45. > :16:47.today at about laughter and love and making it through the tough times
:16:48. > :16:49.and not just her illness, but as she writes, everyone has something.
:16:50. > :16:54.Reading the book is kind of like getting a chance to get time with
:16:55. > :17:02.her, a friendly walk in the park, reminding you that no day is to be
:17:03. > :17:08.wasted. You've got to visualise moments like
:17:09. > :17:17.this. Do you feel that? Do you feel the sun? And the meaning of the sun.
:17:18. > :17:21.It's not easy to believe the best is yet to come when you are just...
:17:22. > :17:31.It's not easy to do that. When you said that optimism is able muscle,
:17:32. > :17:37.it's like a muscle. It get stronger with use. Do you visualise other
:17:38. > :17:43.things? What didn't I visualise? Is gave me a chance to really
:17:44. > :17:47.understand who I am and more importantly, to reimagine who I
:17:48. > :17:53.could be. I am so free. You know me. I am so free. When I say free,
:17:54. > :17:59.it's just, yes, I would hop up and out and say... I don't want people
:18:00. > :18:06.to think that nothing hurts. It's not easy to know that. Look at this
:18:07. > :18:12.park! Look at people! See? Those flowers, pushing their way out of
:18:13. > :18:19.the rocks. For those who thought winter wouldn't pass, it passed, so
:18:20. > :18:22.why not, with what you are going through? It will pass also. Just
:18:23. > :18:26.like winter did. She is the only one who can make this look chic. I like,
:18:27. > :18:38.with the big old goofy tennis shoes. And she is looking hot. Did you
:18:39. > :18:43.think you didn't know me as well as you thought you knew me? I should
:18:44. > :19:03.have known. Shall we take a selfie? I love selfies. That's cute. As I
:19:04. > :19:09.said, you can take a kind of walk with Robin, reading more about her
:19:10. > :19:13.story and her memoir, Everybody's Got Something. It is out today.
:19:14. > :19:25.Thank you for watching. Good night. As we headed towards the latter part
:19:26. > :19:28.of the week, we will pick up some typical April weather of sunshine
:19:29. > :19:33.and showers. Some will be heavy in places. There will be sunshine and
:19:34. > :19:34.it will feel pleasantly warm, and night it should be mainly frost
