:01:08. > :01:13.clear the breakdown of care is even further than we knew. Our
:01:14. > :01:21.correspondent is breaking down what we are learning tonight. It's
:01:22. > :01:24.official, the president and the VA and secretary but the answer they
:01:25. > :01:29.did not want to hear. Looking the books with secret list that he had
:01:30. > :01:32.long delays to the doctors at the Nations veterans hospitals is not
:01:33. > :01:39.just a Phoenix problem. The Inspector General today find the

:02:00. > :02:04.at fault. Why are my dad is dead. It is a damning report. The President
:02:05. > :02:09.called it extremely troubling. It stops short of firing the VA
:02:10. > :02:18.secretary who issued a statement saying:
:02:19. > :02:28.is time for the secretary to step down. He had to be held
:02:29. > :02:31.accountable. Some in Congress are now calling for an investigation.
:02:32. > :02:37.For the FBI to enter the probe which is now spreading to 42 medical
:02:38. > :02:43.facilities across the country. The focus is still on Phoenix where 1700
:02:44. > :02:48.veterans were found to be on those secret list. Some facing an average
:02:49. > :02:55.115 days, 3/2 months to see a doctor. Insiders, including this man
:02:56. > :03:00.tell ABC News they personally witnessed patients die. People
:03:01. > :03:05.actually died because of the delay to. One of them was having chest
:03:06. > :03:10.pains and can get into see his doctor. He died of a heart attack.
:03:11. > :03:14.Draw your own conclusions on the. The next phase of the
:03:15. > :03:18.investigation, who ordered those schedulers to create the secret list
:03:19. > :03:25.and how high up the chain does the scheme go? The news is still coming
:03:26. > :03:28.in tonight. We move on next was millions of Americans are making
:03:29. > :03:33.their way home tonight and facing a series of obstacle courses across
:03:34. > :03:37.the country. In some places, flash floods on a powerful storms and
:03:38. > :03:43.others, twisted, lightning and hail so strong it can crack windshield.
:03:44. > :03:48.Our correspondent is tracking it. In a leading reins art flooding part
:03:49. > :03:53.of the south tonight. Swapping street near New Orleans. Tornado and
:03:54. > :03:57.flash flood watches and warnings are posted throughout the area. One
:03:58. > :04:12.confirmed Mr touchdown here in Louisiana. Wind up 205 mph blew a
:04:13. > :04:16.tree into this house. In the last 24 hours, there have been more than a
:04:17. > :04:20.severe weather reports across the eastern half of the country. None
:04:21. > :04:26.more dramatic than this lightning strike caught by Scott Shepherd.
:04:27. > :04:32.Look at a cloud of dust that rises from the road. His nearly fatal
:04:33. > :04:35.mistake, he had his arm hanging out of the window to shoot video when he
:04:36. > :04:59.became the story. He wasn't hurt, but look what it did
:05:00. > :05:04.to the tarmac. It is the equivalent of 2.5 million car batteries. Every
:05:05. > :05:11.year, an average of 22 million cloud the ground lightning flashes hit the
:05:12. > :05:18.US. Most occur between noon and 4pm. Taken from this experienced storm
:05:19. > :05:28.chaser, tornadoes are not the only dangerous time of year.
:05:29. > :05:35.We had to California now. The new eyewitnesses coming forward about
:05:36. > :05:38.those harrowing moments when a gunman opened fire in Santa Barbara,
:05:39. > :05:49.and what does he say he wishes he had done?
:05:50. > :05:54.Classes at the University of California Santa Barbara are back in
:05:55. > :05:57.session. A day after thousands turned out for an emotional memorial
:05:58. > :06:09.remembering those ticks killed and 13 wounded in that deadly rampage
:06:10. > :06:17.here. The father of one of the victims led the crowd in a
:06:18. > :06:20.resounding chant. In that crowd, a freshman who came face`to`face with
:06:21. > :06:26.the killer on Friday night and leave. Now, telling his story for
:06:27. > :06:31.the first time. I didn't hear it coming, I didn't hear anybody say,
:06:32. > :06:36.look out. He was riding his bike, then out of nowhere and lack BMW
:06:37. > :06:54.ploughed into him and his friend. What is the one thing that stands
:06:55. > :07:03.out? That we are alive. Nick was thrown through the air, he is still
:07:04. > :07:08.in hospital. It is hard to feel lucky when people have two care for
:07:09. > :07:13.their patients and mourn their family. As for this phase, there is
:07:14. > :07:18.one thing Patrick wishes he could have done. I wish I could have
:07:19. > :07:25.talked to him before he did it, and maybe say something that make him
:07:26. > :07:29.see. Patrick says he wants to recover and get back to life as
:07:30. > :07:33.normal. That sense of normalcy is just beginning to happen here. You
:07:34. > :07:39.can see at the main gate there is still a black banner hanging. There
:07:40. > :07:46.will be counsellors here all week long.
:07:47. > :07:51.Now, we turn to newsmaking words today from President Obama about the
:07:52. > :07:56.fight against terror. He announced a major change in form and policy. A
:07:57. > :07:59.plan that relies less on the US military and creates an
:08:00. > :08:03.international partnership to help nations fight extremists within
:08:04. > :08:08.their borders. America must always lead on the world stage. If we
:08:09. > :08:14.don't, no one else will. US military action cannot be the only, or even
:08:15. > :08:18.primary, component of our leadership in every instance. Just because we
:08:19. > :08:24.have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail. The
:08:25. > :08:27.newborn girl stolen from the hospital. How strange is on Facebook
:08:28. > :08:32.and the police delivered her back into her mother's arms. And, the
:08:33. > :08:39.middle school teacher who has students learning and singing in
:08:40. > :09:47.their seats. It is America's strong. `` America Strong.
:09:48. > :09:55.This week a baby girl was kidnapped from a hospital, and a group of
:09:56. > :10:00.young detectives came to her rescue. She was snatched by a woman dressed

:10:08. > :10:14.In the arms of this officer, one day baby that glory of being turned ``
:10:15. > :10:22.returned to her parents, after she was kidnapped three hours earlier.

:10:44. > :10:46.asking for help. This group saw the alert on Facebook. They were so
:10:47. > :10:51.moved, they decided to search, hitting the road. Impossible as it
:10:52. > :10:55.may seem, one of them look more closely at the picture and realised
:10:56. > :11:02.it was an old neighbour who lived here. A call to police and moments
:11:03. > :11:08.later officers swooped in and rescue the baby. We saw the baby, it was
:11:09. > :11:15.the best moment in my life, we were crying. Here in the US, many

:11:38. > :11:42.ward's doors. The system works. Since the early 1980s there have
:11:43. > :11:47.been just 132 infants abducted from hospitals nationwide. The Canadian
:11:48. > :11:52.hospital where baby Victoria was born did not have the same level of
:11:53. > :11:58.security. In a letter on Facebook, her parents saying thank you, and
:11:59. > :12:08.warning other parents to always ask questions, even of those in uniform.
:12:09. > :12:12.What do you think of this image just in from Portugal? It looks like a
:12:13. > :12:20.tornado, moves like a tornado, but eyewitnesses say it is a tower of
:12:21. > :12:27.bugs. They are more than 1000 feet higher, and experts aren't sure if
:12:28. > :12:33.it really is a column of bugs. Tell us what you think. If you are a
