London was able to operate about half of its normal service. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
It is time now for the news across the US, ABC World News with Diane | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Sawyer. Tonight, a big message sent to | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
sports and the nation. Effective immediately, I am planning Mr | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
Sterling for life. Tornado outbreak, at twisters bearing down. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
And tonight, could these storms doubled back and hit the same towns | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
again? And, surprise in your home. A child's hand stuck in a toy that was | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
supposed to be recalled. Do you know what recalled items are sitting in | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
your home? We begin with the seismic decision | :00:47. | :01:01. | |
today, one which stands at the centre of race, respect, money and | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
consequences in America. Donald Sterling, the billionaire owner of | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
the Los Angeles Clippers, banned for life for making racist rep remarks. | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
The NBA commissioner used everything he had, throwing the book at Donald | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Sterling, who will never again sit courtside at another Clippers game. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
Effective immediately, I am banning Mr Sterling for life from any | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
association with the NBA or the Clippers organisation. Banned from | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
the games, the practice facilities, any say in the decisions, and banned | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
from contacting the players. All is this after he admitted making racist | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
comments in a taped conversation with his alleged girlfriend. The NBA | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
commissioner also announced that he will be fined $2.5 million, the | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
league maximum. And, they are moving quickly to pressure team owners to | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
sell the team. I would urge the Board of Governors to exercise its | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
authority to force a sale of the team, and will do anything in my | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
power to ensure that that happens. Since the story broke on the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
basketball world has united to denounce Mr Sterling. Not a word | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
from him himself. Last seen on Sunday, leaving a steakhouse with | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
his estranged wife. She defended him. Kevin Johnson, a former NBA | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
great, said that this ugly episode should serve as a warning. I hope | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
that every bigot in this country see `` sees what happened to Mr | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Sterling, and recognises that if he can fall, so can you. Just hours | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
after this decision, the Clippers are returning here to play the | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Warriors. While this controversy has brought about a larger discussion | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
about race and how we treat each other in this country, the Clippers | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
need to concentrate on winning on the basketball court. Mike, you said | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
this was going to unleash something big. How big is it? It is about as | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
big as it can get. We are going to have zero tolerance policy going | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
forward on this sort of language, this mean`spirited language. Even if | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
it is in the privacy of one's home, or in a private conversation. We | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
will not tolerate it, the league will not stand for it, and for now, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
almost everyone except the Donald Sterling camp seems to be an | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
agreement. We will have pictures of some of these 29 owners. You really | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
think that three quarters of them will vote to force him to sell? I | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
think they will. There are couple of reasons why. Firstly, the players | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
are almost unanimous in their support of Adam Silver, and I don't | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
think this particular fight is one of the owners are for. That is not | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
just the 75% who are African`American, you are looking at | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
100% unanimity on not wanting to have Donald Sterling any more. We're | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
not talking so much about legal challenge, as his business partner | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
saying, we want you out. Do I think that he has the votes necessary? I | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
think he had them when he stepped to the lectern and said he was banning | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
him for life. Does this mean that racism in America or in sport is | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
coming to an end? No, but slowly but surely, piece by piece, a million | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
paper cuts, as he said, people get their message, that this kind of | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
behaviour is not going to be tolerated, and essentially, | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
eventually, it dies off. They think they are saying, we can be few out | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
and make you a pariah, then people get the message. | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
We move onto the epic new outbreak of tornadoes. 22 million Americans | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
still on alert in the tornado zone, and the map shows where at least 128 | :05:23. | :05:34. | |
twisters were reported since Sunday. This was someone's office, that was | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
surrounded by glass, but today it is out in the rain. People across this | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
region, who are just beginning to recover from Monday's tornadoes, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
Corinda danger zone again. Danger tonight, in eastern North Carolina, | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
these tornado was spotted. Across the south, they can't get a break. | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
Late this afternoon, tornadoes were firing up over southern Mississippi | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
and central Alabama. Valerie Thompson worries that more storms | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
may wash what is left of her home away. I was right there watching | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
TV, and Christmas, and all that, but it is gone. Early reports show that | :06:22. | :06:32. | |
this deadly tornado was in EF two, with highest wins what up to 135 | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
mph. It destroyed more than 2100 homes. | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
This man was lucky he was not electrocuted. At our ABC station, | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
our reporter was live on the air, telling viewers to run for cover. He | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
was demanding that his 35 co`workers do the same. Already, at least 33 | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
lives lost in this storm across five states. Today, one family told us he | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
planned to take the weather warning is much more seriously from now on. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Six of them were crowded into this tiny pantry with the family dog. All | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
of you were in this pantry? Yes. Today, half of their home is here, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the other half across the street. Heed the warning. When they say, | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
take your safe place, take your safe place. Take your safe place, that is | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
the message for tonight. Utility crews are trying to restore power, | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
hoping the weather to operate. Tonight the storm seems to be | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
spinning in place, threatening families already hit with the second | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
round. Our correspondent shows us how much longer the threat will | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
last. It will last another 36 hours. It feels like it has been like this | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
for ever. Here I am just north of Birmingham, Alabama. It was the fire | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
department. Last night the tornado tore through here. Now we are under | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
tornado watch again. Let me show you all the areas seeing the risk again | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
tonight. So many double up. Mississippi up to Alabama has an | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
elevated risk. Anywhere in Orange, even North Carolina could see | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
tornadoes tonight. The threat stays with us tomorrow. It is not to be | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
ignored. Tomorrow, from North Florida through the mid`Atlantic is | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
the risk area. But I wanted to tell you the next and start to the | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
question why is this happening. Our atmosphere is all locked up. It is | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
something called a cut off low. It gets stuck here and sits and spends | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
and churns so that violent storms keep happening in the same exact | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
place `` spins. That is the problem. So many people take their safe | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
places, I wanted to mention, grab this. A helmet. You never know, in | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
that state place, you could have debris flying or falling. Good | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
advice. Something else from the tornado zone. Survivors raising the | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
American flag above the wreckage. Families comforting each other, | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
flags flowing behind them. In the midst of such struggle, so many | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
symbols of the American spirit. Now to news of the gunman who put his | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
co`workers in the crosshairs. A policeman says that a FedEx employee | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
opened fire at a package sorting facility in Georgia. He was heavily | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
armed, he was described as Rambo. Six were wounded and the gunman was | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
found dead inside. Now an update on the missing Malaysian plane. A | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
private company has found a clue that it has detected some suspicious | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
metal readings in the ocean. But this was thousands of miles from the | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
official search sites and the official team does not give these | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
clues much credence tonight. And in Washington, the White House has | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
taken aim at incidents of sexual attack on College campuses. A study | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
shows that one in five College students in America is the victim of | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
assault. Joe Biden said that colleges have a moral responsibility | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
to protect students and to teach them to prevent such attacks. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
Doesn't matter if she said yes and changed her mind and said no! No | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
means no! Obama administered new recommendations for schools to | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
report assault and created a new website to support victims. We moved | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
to the news tonight in the ongoing pursuit of Amanda Knox. She is the | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
American accused in an Italian court of brutally murdering her roommate. | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
She was convicted, freed, and convicted again. Today the Italian | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
courts ruled there is reliable evidence placing both Amanda Knox | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
and her then boyfriend at the scene of the murder of her British | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
roommate Meredith Kircher. The court was convinced there were multiple | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
killers but that it was Amanda Knox who wielded the knife that killed | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
her. The evidence, a minute piece of DNA found on her bra clasp. As well | :11:48. | :11:55. | |
is a crime scene, they were believed to be keen to cover up their | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
involvement. It is believed to stem from a disagreement over money. Last | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
year Amanda Knox spoke with Diane Sawyer about her relationship with | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
Meredith Kircher. Did you go your separate ways? Did something happen? | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
No. We spent a lot of time together, and I met her friends. We | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
were you ever jealous of her? You lack no. Were you ever angry with | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
her? No. Is evidence had been presented before, and the court was | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
told how she could have cleaned her own DNA from the crime scene. In a | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
statement, Amanda Knox says she is innocent from the accusations | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
against her. She will focus on pursuing an appeal before the | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Italian Supreme Court. If the court upholds the conviction it could set | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
up a fight over whether she should be extradited back to Italy. For | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
now, she is technically a convicted murderer living freely in Seattle | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
and preparing to graduate in June. Up next, you will see a child's hand | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
stuck in a toy which has been recalled either manufacturer. Her | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
parents did not know. Do you know what recalled items are sitting in | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
your home? Take our test in two minutes. | :13:23. | :14:43. | |
A lot of us don't know that there are millions of recalled the | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
surrounding us. In a surprising test tonight, our correspondent works | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
into an average house looking for recalled products and fines we are | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
not as aware as we think. Five`year old Sophia is not happy, because | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
these firefighters are trying to remove a recalled easy Bake oven | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
which is stuck on her hands. I was so scared. Million of the toys, | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
which can trap child's hand and possibly burn them, were recalled. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
She bought it at a barrage sale. I found out it was the recalled toy. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
It is hard to keep track. A survey shows that 10% of recalled products | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
are ever returned or repaired. They often become garage sale items. | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Millions of homes could have a danger lurking. We went to visit. | :15:35. | :15:43. | |
Davies is with the consumer product safety commission. Recalled for a | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
finger amputation danger from a hinge. What is the serial number? | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
This stroller has also been recalled. This recall was from a | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
string which could cause a choking danger. With a snip it is gone. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
These mattresses are not properly sized, and create a gap. A light in | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
the baby's room was also recalled. In all we found four items which | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
needed to be fixed or removed. What you make of it all? It sounds like I | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
should not be getting hand`me`downs. That's one way. Or do what our | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
expert did. Check online, fill out warranty cards, and sign up for | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
alerts. Keep something like this from happening in your home. And now | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
tonight, a man robbed of almost 25 years of his life, and the community | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
of strangers who decided to help pull him to his feet. As our | :16:56. | :16:57. | |
correspondent showed us, after the ordeal, what it is to be America | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
Strong. You are watching the moment Jonathan Fleming is exonerated after | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
25 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Stepping into the | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
sunlight and expressing not one ounce of resentment. I feel | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
wonderful. I am going to eat dinner with my mother mother and my family | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
and get on with my life. These receipts prove that he was at Disney | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
World with his children when the murder was committed in New York. | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
What is it like to be outside on a beautiful day in Central Park? It's | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
a good feeling. But there are challenges adjusting to brave new | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
world. Even in cars, the GPS, which tells you exact the way to go, I'm | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
not used to that. Repairing lost relationships, and then there is | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
money. I had about $93 in my account. Enter a total stranger, a | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
Wall Street rancour. Why did you feel you had to do something? After | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
the hell he has been through for the last 24 years, he came out with a | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
positive attitude, wanting to live the rest of his life and being | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
positive. `` Wall Street bank. He went online and created this | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
website. Within days, nearly $35,000 was donated white hundreds of people | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
in 15 countries. He wanted to meet his benefactor, so we made it | :18:27. | :18:37. | |
happen. I want to thank you, man. I'm just glad to be able to help. | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Thank you very much. One man finally free, and a group of strangers, | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
helping him out. They are America Strong. And we are so glad you are | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
watching tonight. We are always here on our website. I will see you | :18:57. | :19:09. | |
tomorrow night. Good night. Good morning. Once again, we will be | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
going into the morning rush hour with a mix of low cloud, mist and | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
fog. The fog will be at its most dense in the eastern coast of | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Scotland and England as well as Northern Ireland. A grey start for | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
many. Not a huge amount of sunshine, | :19:29. | :19:29. |
