:00:00. > :00:08.Ecuador. It is time to catch up with a busy
:00:09. > :00:16.world news. `` BBC World News. Tonight, the tale of the tape, US
:00:17. > :00:22.forces face`to`face with the Taliban. The blinking of his eyes,
:00:23. > :00:27.the special forces, there stands, and that handshake. What it could
:00:28. > :00:35.all reveal. Security breach? President Obama at the G7 summit,
:00:36. > :00:38.why is the world seeing this? Who recorded the president working out
:00:39. > :00:43.at the hotel gym? Who are the strangers in the gym? And what the
:00:44. > :00:50.White House is saying tonight. High winds, hail and heavy wind. Putting
:00:51. > :00:53.your e`mails to the test, sending planks of wood rocketing into the
:00:54. > :00:59.windows. How to protect your home in severe weather. And, trapped. We
:01:00. > :01:02.hear from the children inside this bounce slide as it was lifted off
:01:03. > :01:04.the ground and blown away. The parents watching. What they want
:01:05. > :01:27.every family to know tonight. We begin with a new video showing
:01:28. > :01:30.those extraordinary moments American POW Bowe Bergdahl waiting with the
:01:31. > :01:34.Taliban for US special forces to arrive. You see them land, and so
:01:35. > :01:37.many cruise and Nvidia. Bowe Bergdahl brought towards the
:01:38. > :01:43.helicopter, a member of the American team reaching out to shake a member
:01:44. > :01:46.of the Taliban's hand, before Bowe Bergdahl is turned over. Then,
:01:47. > :01:49.patting him down, presumably looking for possible explosives. Tonight,
:01:50. > :01:59.our chief global moment through the tape.
:02:00. > :02:04.Late afternoon, deep in the valley. Bowe Bergdahl, clean`shaven,
:02:05. > :02:08.blinking and whole wide, as if emerging from the dark for the first
:02:09. > :02:13.time. Taliban fighters high in the hills, able to shoot below. The
:02:14. > :02:18.white flag on a freshly cut branch, a sign for the Americans.
:02:19. > :02:23.Translating the conversation from the language of the Taliban, a
:02:24. > :02:27.fighter says to Bowe Bergdahl, don't come back to Afghanistan, you will
:02:28. > :02:33.not make it out alive next time. Then, surveillance aircraft appear,
:02:34. > :02:38.followed by two helicopters. Three Americans emerge. Bowe Bergdahl
:02:39. > :02:42.carrying a bag, is escorted towards them. His back is quickly patted,
:02:43. > :02:48.making sure he has not been turned into a human bomb. Just before
:02:49. > :02:54.boarding, his bag is grabbed and dropped. Another patdown, then
:02:55. > :02:59.airborne to freedom. ABC News consultant and retired Marine Corps
:03:00. > :03:07.fighter pilot Steve Canyon, studied the video scene hidden signs key to
:03:08. > :03:12.the operation. First, the hoods of the Taliban. More than likely, they
:03:13. > :03:17.asked us to raise the hood of the vehicle, as a signal we have the
:03:18. > :03:21.right area. Then, the number 41 on the US helicopter, likely a message
:03:22. > :03:28.back to the Taliban, the deal is on. And, the hand after the Americans.
:03:29. > :03:32.All three of them are in civilian clothes, are they special forces or
:03:33. > :03:36.CIA? Back we see the man in the centre doing the pack down, but
:03:37. > :03:41.watch how straight these men's arms stay. Really, their arms kept
:03:42. > :03:48.straight as they conceal something up their sleeves. Elvis Lee had some
:03:49. > :03:54.kind of weapon, so they need to shoot across each other they are
:03:55. > :03:59.ready to go. Then, Bowe Bergdahl's linking eyes. The bright sun, the
:04:00. > :04:01.dust, or something else? If you think about all the executions they
:04:02. > :04:04.have done over the years that they love to film, then you have him,
:04:05. > :04:08.being let out to an open area with people filming him and weapons, he
:04:09. > :04:14.can just as easily be thinking, I'm about to be executed on film for the
:04:15. > :04:17.Taliban. No one knows for sure, the blinking may have been because he
:04:18. > :04:23.had spent so little time in the sun. What we do know is that once on that
:04:24. > :04:28.helicopter, realising he was safe and with Americans, he broke down in
:04:29. > :04:34.tears. Tonight, he is still in the hospital in Germany, likely to be
:04:35. > :04:37.back in the US next week. As we await any word on Bowe
:04:38. > :04:41.Bergdahl's condition in the military hospital, there are other families
:04:42. > :04:46.in America asking, what about our loved ones? Still missing, believed
:04:47. > :04:52.to be held by the Taliban. Including this woman. An American woman and
:04:53. > :05:00.her husband, the most recent image, it is believed she has given birth
:05:01. > :05:03.while captive. It was the trade for prisoners with Sergeant Bergdahl
:05:04. > :05:07.that led the parents of this young woman to go public today with the
:05:08. > :05:13.associated press, hoping there is a way to get there bought back home.
:05:14. > :05:16.Their plight had received little attention until today, when two
:05:17. > :05:21.videos were made public by the family of the missing American
:05:22. > :05:28.woman. She is seen here next to the Canadian husband. I'm a prisoner of
:05:29. > :05:31.the Taliban, my husband and I... She was pregnant when the couple went
:05:32. > :05:36.missing almost two years ago in Afghanistan, as they hiked through a
:05:37. > :05:39.region controlled by the Taliban. In the video, which are family received
:05:40. > :05:44.last year, she talks of the child she apparently gave birth to in
:05:45. > :05:49.Taliban captivity. I would ask that my family and my government do
:05:50. > :05:58.everything that they can to bring my husband, child and I to safety. We
:05:59. > :06:01.have not heard from them, we have not heard anything except for the
:06:02. > :06:04.video. She is just one of at least ten Americans being held hostage or
:06:05. > :06:08.captive somewhere in the world tonight, whose families are also
:06:09. > :06:14.counting on the US government to act. In Pakistan, an American aid
:06:15. > :06:19.worker was kidnapped by Al Qaeda three years ago. It seems I have
:06:20. > :06:24.been totally abandoned. And forgotten. His family told us of the
:06:25. > :06:30.anguish. I wanted to die right there on the spot, because he has no idea
:06:31. > :06:36.how hard we have tried to get him back. There are three Americans
:06:37. > :06:40.believed held in Iran, including a CIA contractor and agent, Bob
:06:41. > :06:46.Levinson, who disappeared five years ago. From the families of all the
:06:47. > :06:54.missing Americans, including two journalists held in Syria and
:06:55. > :06:55.Somalia, it has raised questions about what they would be prepared to
:06:56. > :07:08.trade for their freedom as well. high`stakes trip as world leaders
:07:09. > :07:11.decide how to handle President Putin. Tonight, images of the
:07:12. > :07:18.president working out in a hotel gym. A stranger also, apparently
:07:19. > :07:21.videotaping it. Some are asking if this was a security threat. Our
:07:22. > :07:27.correspondent travelling with the President tonight.
:07:28. > :07:33.He enters Europe to flex muscles on the stage. We won't accept Russia's
:07:34. > :07:38.occupation of Crimea or its violation of Ukrainian sovereignty.
:07:39. > :07:44.This video has been seen every word. President Obama in a hotel gym
:07:45. > :07:50.exercising his actual muscles, doing lunches, flies, working his biceps
:07:51. > :07:53.and doing cardio. Along with the President appears to be hotel guest
:07:54. > :07:59.working out also. One of them shooting this video. Including a
:08:00. > :08:03.half selfie. The Secret Service says there was no security breach because
:08:04. > :08:07.everybody in the hotel was screened and Secret Service agents were
:08:08. > :08:09.always nearby. They keep the President said, but it isn't their
:08:10. > :08:17.job to confiscate camera is cellphone. `` cameras or cellphones.
:08:18. > :08:21.Apparently he makes unsettled stops frequently, sometimes to lunch or,
:08:22. > :08:26.at last month, he went to the Washington Maule, surprising
:08:27. > :08:31.tourists. John joined us live now. If the White House bothered by the
:08:32. > :08:35.pictures? They are annoyed these images are out there but they are
:08:36. > :08:38.not concerned. They point out this is something the President has done
:08:39. > :08:42.hundreds of times, working out in hotel gyms when he travels. This
:08:43. > :08:49.just happens to be the first time someone decided to videotaping
:08:50. > :08:54.working out. Tonight, a new clue in the mystery flight MH370, missing
:08:55. > :08:57.488 days. We learnt a recording made by deep sea microphones the day the
:08:58. > :09:01.plane vanished is reigniting debate about whether plane might be. Some
:09:02. > :09:11.wonder if this is the moment the plane hit the water. Listen.
:09:12. > :09:17.Investigators say that sound could be flight MH370 on impact. But the
:09:18. > :09:21.map. It was recorded in the south Indian Ocean thousands of miles from
:09:22. > :09:24.the search area. But it say it doesn't add up and they say it is
:09:25. > :09:31.likely an underwater earthquake. 88 days since the plane vanished. A
:09:32. > :09:34.grim anniversary, 25 years ago that the massacre in Tiananmen Square
:09:35. > :09:39.happened, students mounting a protest and the deadly crack down by
:09:40. > :09:44.police. Our correspondent went back to look at the crowds, who were
:09:45. > :09:51.replaced by security cameras and checkpoints. Then and now. Troops
:09:52. > :09:55.marching, raising the Chinese flag. This injuring image tonight. The

:10:02. > :10:05.unsolved all of these years later. Back home. Terrifying moments for
:10:06. > :10:10.the family in colour writer. A bouncy slide picked up and blown
:10:11. > :10:17.away by 30 mph winds. The parents watching it all as the children are
:10:18. > :10:21.trapped inside. An incredible sight. The parents and children who were
:10:22. > :10:27.inside describe the moment in the air. Our correspondent with the
:10:28. > :10:36.safety concerns tonight. AJ Ruta and Madison were playing at a park and
:10:37. > :10:44.we have seen what happened next. I flew out. Little AJ was stuck
:10:45. > :10:49.inside. I was thrown around a lot. I blacked out. The children only had
:10:50. > :10:55.minor injuries, incredibly. Their parents feared the worst. He was a
:10:56. > :11:01.motionless, expressionless, his eyes were open, in shock. The company
:11:02. > :11:06.tells ABC News it feels terrible. The wind came from nowhere. Believe
:11:07. > :11:13.it or not, these accidents are common. A 2010 study found 30 kids
:11:14. > :11:17.per day were rushed to hospital with these injuries. That is why it is
:11:18. > :11:22.important to use stakes to secure the rights and in high winds, no one
:11:23. > :11:26.should be in there. `` secure the rights. This boy was in hospital for
:11:27. > :11:32.eight days after a bounce house went flying. We have a long road ahead of
