:00:00. > :00:00.the candidates standing in that by`election. Time now for a look at
:00:00. > :00:09.the news as seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC
:00:10. > :00:16.World News with Dianne Sawyer. Tonight, a new warning. A
:00:17. > :00:23.record`breaking spike of measles. We track the spread and the surprising
:00:24. > :00:29.reason behind it. Is this the first American suicide bomber? The Florida
:00:30. > :00:36.man turned into a killer in Syria. And the popular tourist attraction
:00:37. > :00:51.high in the air cracks. Visitors scramble to solid ground. Good
:00:52. > :00:59.evening. An old enemy is back. There is an urgent new warning about
:01:00. > :01:14.measles. Don't forget, this is a virus that can take lives. Measles
:01:15. > :01:19.is wildly infectious. You can catch it from the air two hours after
:01:20. > :01:27.someone infected was there. Tonight, it's spreading. The new record is
:01:28. > :01:33.288 cases, the most since the virus was eliminated from the US in 2000.
:01:34. > :01:40.18 states have been affected. The biggest outbreak is where the Amish
:01:41. > :01:43.are getting sick. Unvaccinated, some travelled to the Philippines and
:01:44. > :01:52.caught the virus. Another outbreak in upstate San Diego, where parents
:01:53. > :01:53.deliberately avoid vaccination. Paediatricians are on the lookout,
:01:54. > :01:59.trying to spot the tell`tale rash. trying to spot the tell`tale rash.
:02:00. > :02:10.Measles is so contagious they have to wear special equipment. All these
:02:11. > :02:15.cases, like the Amish outbreak, are linked to travellers ringing the
:02:16. > :02:23.disease here from around the globe, giving it to the unvaccinated. In
:02:24. > :02:32.the 1960s, measles sent 48,000 Americans per year to the hospital,
:02:33. > :02:38.7000 with seizures. 5000 died. He was in extreme pain all the time. He
:02:39. > :02:42.was screaming. This little boy was only eight months old, too young to
:02:43. > :02:48.vaccinate, when measles struck in New York. He courted during a visit
:02:49. > :02:52.to the doctor 's office in a room where a measles patient had been.
:02:53. > :03:01.They had been in the same room before we arrived. Can you give us
:03:02. > :03:07.some perspective on this? The CDC is very concerned about this. If you
:03:08. > :03:10.are an adult and you are travelling overseas, they want you to make sure
:03:11. > :03:16.you have had at least two doses of the measles vaccine. If you are not
:03:17. > :03:19.sure, get it again to be safe. They also want to make sure that everyone
:03:20. > :03:25.here is vaccinated fully and on time. It's to protect you but it is
:03:26. > :03:27.also to protect children too young to get vaccinated and people with
:03:28. > :03:37.immune problems who cannot protect themselves. 7000 cases of seizures
:03:38. > :03:42.from measles? Yes. People think it of it as a mild image `` illness
:03:43. > :03:50.that you get over but that is a lot of people who are harmed by it. Now,
:03:51. > :03:53.America's top intelligence officers are looking at new images of a
:03:54. > :03:57.suicide bombing in Syria are unlike any other. They believe one of those
:03:58. > :04:04.suicide bombers was an American citizen, a man from Florida. Who is
:04:05. > :04:09.he? Has other Americans been turned into killers as well? It was a
:04:10. > :04:15.powerful truck bomb in northern Syria. The Al`Qaeda affiliated
:04:16. > :04:20.terrorists who produced this video of the attack say this American was
:04:21. > :04:24.the suicide bomber who drove the truck. The video shows it being
:04:25. > :04:30.loaded with explosives and driving towards its target. The government
:04:31. > :04:37.says the suspect is an American citizen. US officials are reaching
:04:38. > :04:45.out to the man's family and are investigating how he was recruited.
:04:46. > :04:49.American fighters in Syria have sparked concerns at the highest
:04:50. > :04:55.level of government. The capacity of battle hardened extremist groups to
:04:56. > :04:59.come after us only increases. 70 Americans are believed to have
:05:00. > :05:03.joined the foreign fighters in Syria. Some have made their way back
:05:04. > :05:09.to the US and are under investigation or surveillance. The
:05:10. > :05:12.FBI director recently warned that Americans fighting in the Syrian
:05:13. > :05:18.conflict might return home to form sleeper cells for Al`Qaeda. How
:05:19. > :05:23.active are you in making sure you are keeping an eye on those people?
:05:24. > :05:28.We are very active. The civil war there is an opportunity for fighters
:05:29. > :05:34.to get training in the worst parts of terrorism. They will come back to
:05:35. > :05:39.the US. A civil war in a land are way with potentially huge
:05:40. > :05:46.implications for the US at home. `` a land far away. And growing outrage
:05:47. > :05:50.tonight over the breakdown in care for American veterans. Right now,
:05:51. > :06:01.there are calls for the veteran secretary to step down. Is he out?
:06:02. > :06:06.Where do things stand at the moment? There are well over 100 members of
:06:07. > :06:10.Congress saying it is time for him to resign. There is a growing sense
:06:11. > :06:16.at the White House that he days are numbered. Look at what happened
:06:17. > :06:20.today when I tried to get a straight answer here about where he stands
:06:21. > :06:29.with the president. Yes or no, does the President has confidence in the
:06:30. > :06:36.Veterans' Affairs Minister glitch? `` Veterans' Affairs Minister? He is
:06:37. > :06:43.confident that the Secretary has served his nation adequately. That
:06:44. > :06:48.is what it usually sounds like before someone is fired. That said,
:06:49. > :06:51.the secretary told veterans groups today that he has no intention of
:06:52. > :07:01.leaving. Then again, that might not be his choice to make. Now, for the
:07:02. > :07:05.first time, a family is speaking about what it is like when your son
:07:06. > :07:17.is on a progression towards a dark horizon. Their son was the shooter
:07:18. > :07:20.in Santa Barbara. Tonight, we have new insight into their anguish and
:07:21. > :07:35.the strange behaviour that led to such a violent surprise.
:07:36. > :07:42.fooled everyone for a long time. Family friend this morning. He was a
:07:43. > :07:50.very removed, remote child. He hesitated. He shook when you met
:07:51. > :07:54.him. These videos give glimpses into his character. In this one, he
:07:55. > :07:58.stalks a couple kissing on the beach. Consumed with envy. In his
:07:59. > :08:03.manifesto, he claims to have attacked others. He wrote that at a
:08:04. > :08:09.party last year he tried to push a group of students off a balcony. He
:08:10. > :08:12.says he squirted another group with a super soaker filled with orange
:08:13. > :08:17.juice and dumped copy on a young couple kissing in line at Starbucks.
:08:18. > :08:22.He was so antisocial that one of his former roommate moved out early.
:08:23. > :08:27.Well before the attack, it was said that he saw Roger as potentially
:08:28. > :08:32.violent. My first feeling was that he actually did it. Roger's parents
:08:33. > :08:40.say they are crying in pain for the victims and their families.
:08:41. > :08:45.Now, the setback in the search for the missing plane. Authorities in
:08:46. > :08:48.Australia said they have completed a scan of the undersea search area,
:08:49. > :08:53.meaning they have probably been looking in the wrong place. They are
:08:54. > :08:57.no longer sure if the pings a third were from the black box on the
:08:58. > :09:00.plane. Their hunt in the Indian Ocean will now have to be expanded
:09:01. > :09:06.and the new search could take a year. Back at home, to the
:09:07. > :09:10.Waterworld across the golf in Louisiana, neighbours underwater.
:09:11. > :09:22.Streets turned into rivers and in Texas, houses poking through an
:09:23. > :09:28.impromptu marshland. Tonight, a topic we have spoken about, the
:09:29. > :09:31.dangers of tanning beds. Tonight, it has been said that they should carry
:09:32. > :09:37.warnings on like cigarettes. Rebecca Jarvis has the story. For years,
:09:38. > :09:42.doctors have urged the US government to take action on tanning beds.
:09:43. > :09:48.Tonight, for the first time, new rules, that tanning bed should carry
:09:49. > :09:53.a visible warning, cautioning those under the age of 18 not to use them.
:09:54. > :09:57.We have tried to deal with this issue for the last 20 years. The
:09:58. > :10:00.industry calls the rules "excessive", and says that their
:10:01. > :10:08.products are safe if used properly. 1 million Americans tan every day,
:10:09. > :10:13.especially young people. Using an indoor tanning salon increases the
:10:14. > :10:20.risk of melanoma, the deadliest of all skin cancers, by 59%. This woman
:10:21. > :10:25.is a melanoma survivor and started tanning when she was in sixth
:10:26. > :10:30.grade. I thought that there was no way, as a 17`year`old, I could get
:10:31. > :10:35.melanoma. In 2012, an investigation showed that many salon workers
:10:36. > :10:41.denied the machines could be harmful, even claiming it was good
:10:42. > :10:47.for you. It is the same as being outside, if you got sunburn here, it
:10:48. > :10:51.would not be as bad. Four years ago, the FDA recommended a ban for all
:10:52. > :10:53.minors, but never acted on it. Tonight 's warning sheds light on
:10:54. > :10:59.the dangers. Next, we had to Chicago and what
:11:00. > :11:04.happened late yesterday, 1300 feet up in the air, inside the heart
:11:05. > :11:07.pounding new exhibit in the city 's tallest building. The glass boxes
:11:08. > :11:11.suspended in the air. Tonight, a real scare. Tourists were standing
:11:12. > :11:20.on the glass above an urban canyon, when it seemed like the glass was
:11:21. > :11:23.cracking under their feet. Chicago's famed tower promises to
:11:24. > :11:31.showcase the city skyline like no one else, 100 stories high, on a
:11:32. > :11:36.glass ledge, making it feel like you are standing on air. That is crazy!
:11:37. > :11:39.This is the frightening view that two men will never forget. The glass
:11:40. > :11:49.directly underneath them shattered as they harboured more than 1300
:11:50. > :11:52.feet over the streets. `` hovered. Seconds after they snapped this
:11:53. > :12:00.picture, sheer panic as they stood up. I immediately looked down and I
:12:01. > :12:06.could see it cracking very fast. I jumped off, crawled off, I don't
:12:07. > :12:10.know what I did. Authorities closed the ledge for repair but insisted no
:12:11. > :12:16.one was in danger. They said it was a protective coating that shattered,
:12:17. > :12:26.before the blast that make up the ledge. The family says that solid
:12:27. > :12:33.low ground is fine for now. Now, some consumer news about the wine
:12:34. > :12:37.that we buy, police in Italy have confiscated thousands of bottles of
:12:38. > :12:42.a counterfeit wine to be shipped overseas, but in fact, they
:12:43. > :12:51.substituted a good `` the good stuff with low`grade wine. So we would
:12:52. > :12:56.have to pay ten times the value. The tipoff came from discerning
:12:57. > :13:01.drinkers that realised the expensive wine they were sipping was not the
:13:02. > :13:09.real deal. Today, Italian police swooped, seizing 30,000 bottles of
:13:10. > :13:13.counterfeit wine. Worthless wine with a fancy fake label. The problem
:13:14. > :13:19.is that most of us, including me, cannot taste the difference between
:13:20. > :13:27.the two winds. We are ripe for the falling. Unfortunately, the average
:13:28. > :13:36.American cannot guarantee that you are not going to get what you are
:13:37. > :13:42.looking for `` wines. According to one study, 20% of wine on the market
:13:43. > :13:46.could be fake. And the USA became the biggest consumer on the planet
:13:47. > :13:55.of wine. Is your favourite wine really what you think it is?
:13:56. > :14:01.At next here tonight, courted the act, those tiny security camera
:14:02. > :14:04.supposed to alert you when someone breaks into your home. Tonight, they
:14:05. > :14:12.are put to the test, do they work promised? `` court. And the journey
:14:13. > :15:20.from homeless to high school. ``caught. That is next.
:15:21. > :15:24.Police say he came in, grabbing electronics, but he was unaware that
:15:25. > :15:33.two cameras had turned on. Alerting the homeowner who was out to dinner.
:15:34. > :15:40.Allowing the homeowners to scare the intruder. Cameras in the home,
:15:41. > :15:50.catching all kinds of burglars in the act, are they worth the money.
:15:51. > :15:53.Watch, with a little bit of movement, the cameras are triggered
:15:54. > :16:01.and start recording. Some even send an alert to your phone. They are
:16:02. > :16:07.more mainstream. Situations like this happen, there are proof of them
:16:08. > :16:13.working. These three brands work as advertised, each turning on and
:16:14. > :16:19.beaming back real`time video. They cost anything from $130 to that is
:16:20. > :16:23.to watch the food on your phone normally free but not perfect. For
:16:24. > :16:29.example, the camera could be triggered by your pet. One company
:16:30. > :16:34.says that they are introducing people detection in summer, alerting
:16:35. > :16:40.only if there is human activity on your cameras. And a new tab system
:16:41. > :16:45.where you can put a tab about the size of a stick of gum on doors and
:16:46. > :16:50.windows to see if they are opened, and on items if they have moved. ``
:16:51. > :16:53.to see if they have moved. At this home, police ended up catching the
:16:54. > :17:04.subject who are still in prison tonight. If you are tired of
:17:05. > :17:13.selfies, how about an 'elfie'. An elephant version. When officials got
:17:14. > :17:19.the phone back from this man, an elephant embracing the trend and
:17:20. > :17:25.taking a picture with his trunk. There has been an increase in 4700
:17:26. > :17:31.babies born. That is the first increase in years. Experts say a lot
:17:32. > :17:34.of couples delayed expanding or starting families because of the
:17:35. > :17:39.recession. A welcome to all of the new arrivals. In America, we are
:17:40. > :17:46.hearing huge cheers for the class of 2014. A remarkable teenager will
:17:47. > :17:50.graduate as valedictorian, homeless and full of hope, never missing an
:17:51. > :17:55.assignment. What did he say to himself? Our correspondent tells us
:17:56. > :18:00.about the teenager who is America strong. When Griffin Furlong gets
:18:01. > :18:06.ready for school every morning, he never wakes up in his own bed. Are
:18:07. > :18:12.you homeless now? Technically I am homeless. It was two months ago that
:18:13. > :18:17.me and my dad were living together and we could not afford to live at
:18:18. > :18:20.the place we were staying. It makes today even more remarkable. This
:18:21. > :18:23.young man with so little in this world was practising the speech he
:18:24. > :18:25.will give next week, at his high school graduation, where he is the
:18:26. > :18:28.valedictorian. I perform the way I do in the classroom because I have
:18:29. > :18:35.everything to lose. He and his family had been homeless for 12
:18:36. > :18:39.years, ever since cancer took the life of his mother. They have lived
:18:40. > :18:46.on borrowed cultures and in shelters `` cultures. I was in a hotel one
:18:47. > :18:53.night and I was starving. I had nothing to eat. And I had school.
:18:54. > :18:58.And I knew, that there was nothing I could do about it. Most of his
:18:59. > :19:02.teachers say they never knew until now. He is the only student who has
:19:03. > :19:08.never missed an assignment. He graduates with perfect grades, and
:19:09. > :19:11.is not doing it alone. Friends raised nearly $40,000 to help him
:19:12. > :19:20.pay for college, and the university says it will help to. He is not
:19:21. > :19:28.defined by what happened to him. On the back of his baseball caps, he
:19:29. > :19:31.writes" never give up". So, he never forgets. I want to show that anyone
:19:32. > :19:34.can do it, no matter what you have been through. I never want to live
:19:35. > :19:36.that life again. I do everything I do because I don't want to live like
:19:37. > :19:46.that. Griffin Furlong, we congratulate you. You are truly
:19:47. > :19:50.America strong. We thank you so much for watching
:19:51. > :20:01.tonight, we are always here, and we will be back again tomorrow.
:20:02. > :20:07.For many places, it will be brighter on Thursday, the sunshine broke
:20:08. > :20:08.through the
