Ecuador. It is time to catch up with a busy

:00:00.:00:08.

world news. `` BBC World News. Tonight, the tale of the tape, US

:00:09.:00:16.

forces face`to`face with the Taliban. The blinking of his eyes,

:00:17.:00:22.

the special forces, there stands, and that handshake. What it could

:00:23.:00:27.

all reveal. Security breach? President Obama at the G7 summit,

:00:28.:00:35.

why is the world seeing this? Who recorded the president working out

:00:36.:00:38.

at the hotel gym? Who are the strangers in the gym? And what the

:00:39.:00:43.

White House is saying tonight. High winds, hail and heavy wind. Putting

:00:44.:00:50.

your e`mails to the test, sending planks of wood rocketing into the

:00:51.:00:53.

windows. How to protect your home in severe weather. And, trapped. We

:00:54.:00:59.

hear from the children inside this bounce slide as it was lifted off

:01:00.:01:02.

the ground and blown away. The parents watching. What they want

:01:03.:01:04.

every family to know tonight. We begin with a new video showing

:01:05.:01:27.

those extraordinary moments American POW Bowe Bergdahl waiting with the

:01:28.:01:30.

Taliban for US special forces to arrive. You see them land, and so

:01:31.:01:34.

many cruise and Nvidia. Bowe Bergdahl brought towards the

:01:35.:01:37.

helicopter, a member of the American team reaching out to shake a member

:01:38.:01:43.

of the Taliban's hand, before Bowe Bergdahl is turned over. Then,

:01:44.:01:46.

patting him down, presumably looking for possible explosives. Tonight,

:01:47.:01:49.

our chief global moment through the tape.

:01:50.:01:59.

Late afternoon, deep in the valley. Bowe Bergdahl, clean`shaven,

:02:00.:02:04.

blinking and whole wide, as if emerging from the dark for the first

:02:05.:02:08.

time. Taliban fighters high in the hills, able to shoot below. The

:02:09.:02:13.

white flag on a freshly cut branch, a sign for the Americans.

:02:14.:02:18.

Translating the conversation from the language of the Taliban, a

:02:19.:02:23.

fighter says to Bowe Bergdahl, don't come back to Afghanistan, you will

:02:24.:02:27.

not make it out alive next time. Then, surveillance aircraft appear,

:02:28.:02:33.

followed by two helicopters. Three Americans emerge. Bowe Bergdahl

:02:34.:02:38.

carrying a bag, is escorted towards them. His back is quickly patted,

:02:39.:02:42.

making sure he has not been turned into a human bomb. Just before

:02:43.:02:48.

boarding, his bag is grabbed and dropped. Another patdown, then

:02:49.:02:54.

airborne to freedom. ABC News consultant and retired Marine Corps

:02:55.:02:59.

fighter pilot Steve Canyon, studied the video scene hidden signs key to

:03:00.:03:07.

the operation. First, the hoods of the Taliban. More than likely, they

:03:08.:03:12.

asked us to raise the hood of the vehicle, as a signal we have the

:03:13.:03:17.

right area. Then, the number 41 on the US helicopter, likely a message

:03:18.:03:21.

back to the Taliban, the deal is on. And, the hand after the Americans.

:03:22.:03:28.

All three of them are in civilian clothes, are they special forces or

:03:29.:03:32.

CIA? Back we see the man in the centre doing the pack down, but

:03:33.:03:36.

watch how straight these men's arms stay. Really, their arms kept

:03:37.:03:41.

straight as they conceal something up their sleeves. Elvis Lee had some

:03:42.:03:48.

kind of weapon, so they need to shoot across each other they are

:03:49.:03:54.

ready to go. Then, Bowe Bergdahl's linking eyes. The bright sun, the

:03:55.:03:59.

dust, or something else? If you think about all the executions they

:04:00.:04:01.

have done over the years that they love to film, then you have him,

:04:02.:04:04.

being let out to an open area with people filming him and weapons, he

:04:05.:04:08.

can just as easily be thinking, I'm about to be executed on film for the

:04:09.:04:14.

Taliban. No one knows for sure, the blinking may have been because he

:04:15.:04:17.

had spent so little time in the sun. What we do know is that once on that

:04:18.:04:23.

helicopter, realising he was safe and with Americans, he broke down in

:04:24.:04:28.

tears. Tonight, he is still in the hospital in Germany, likely to be

:04:29.:04:34.

back in the US next week. As we await any word on Bowe

:04:35.:04:37.

Bergdahl's condition in the military hospital, there are other families

:04:38.:04:41.

in America asking, what about our loved ones? Still missing, believed

:04:42.:04:46.

to be held by the Taliban. Including this woman. An American woman and

:04:47.:04:52.

her husband, the most recent image, it is believed she has given birth

:04:53.:05:00.

while captive. It was the trade for prisoners with Sergeant Bergdahl

:05:01.:05:03.

that led the parents of this young woman to go public today with the

:05:04.:05:07.

associated press, hoping there is a way to get there bought back home.

:05:08.:05:13.

Their plight had received little attention until today, when two

:05:14.:05:16.

videos were made public by the family of the missing American

:05:17.:05:21.

woman. She is seen here next to the Canadian husband. I'm a prisoner of

:05:22.:05:28.

the Taliban, my husband and I... She was pregnant when the couple went

:05:29.:05:31.

missing almost two years ago in Afghanistan, as they hiked through a

:05:32.:05:36.

region controlled by the Taliban. In the video, which are family received

:05:37.:05:39.

last year, she talks of the child she apparently gave birth to in

:05:40.:05:44.

Taliban captivity. I would ask that my family and my government do

:05:45.:05:49.

everything that they can to bring my husband, child and I to safety. We

:05:50.:05:58.

have not heard from them, we have not heard anything except for the

:05:59.:06:01.

video. She is just one of at least ten Americans being held hostage or

:06:02.:06:04.

captive somewhere in the world tonight, whose families are also

:06:05.:06:08.

counting on the US government to act. In Pakistan, an American aid

:06:09.:06:14.

worker was kidnapped by Al Qaeda three years ago. It seems I have

:06:15.:06:19.

been totally abandoned. And forgotten. His family told us of the

:06:20.:06:24.

anguish. I wanted to die right there on the spot, because he has no idea

:06:25.:06:30.

how hard we have tried to get him back. There are three Americans

:06:31.:06:36.

believed held in Iran, including a CIA contractor and agent, Bob

:06:37.:06:40.

Levinson, who disappeared five years ago. From the families of all the

:06:41.:06:46.

missing Americans, including two journalists held in Syria and

:06:47.:06:54.

Somalia, it has raised questions about what they would be prepared to

:06:55.:06:55.

trade for their freedom as well. high`stakes trip as world leaders

:06:56.:07:08.

decide how to handle President Putin. Tonight, images of the

:07:09.:07:11.

president working out in a hotel gym. A stranger also, apparently

:07:12.:07:18.

videotaping it. Some are asking if this was a security threat. Our

:07:19.:07:21.

correspondent travelling with the President tonight.

:07:22.:07:27.

He enters Europe to flex muscles on the stage. We won't accept Russia's

:07:28.:07:33.

occupation of Crimea or its violation of Ukrainian sovereignty.

:07:34.:07:38.

This video has been seen every word. President Obama in a hotel gym

:07:39.:07:44.

exercising his actual muscles, doing lunches, flies, working his biceps

:07:45.:07:50.

and doing cardio. Along with the President appears to be hotel guest

:07:51.:07:53.

working out also. One of them shooting this video. Including a

:07:54.:07:59.

half selfie. The Secret Service says there was no security breach because

:08:00.:08:03.

everybody in the hotel was screened and Secret Service agents were

:08:04.:08:07.

always nearby. They keep the President said, but it isn't their

:08:08.:08:09.

job to confiscate camera is cellphone. `` cameras or cellphones.

:08:10.:08:17.

Apparently he makes unsettled stops frequently, sometimes to lunch or,

:08:18.:08:21.

at last month, he went to the Washington Maule, surprising

:08:22.:08:26.

tourists. John joined us live now. If the White House bothered by the

:08:27.:08:31.

pictures? They are annoyed these images are out there but they are

:08:32.:08:35.

not concerned. They point out this is something the President has done

:08:36.:08:38.

hundreds of times, working out in hotel gyms when he travels. This

:08:39.:08:42.

just happens to be the first time someone decided to videotaping

:08:43.:08:49.

working out. Tonight, a new clue in the mystery flight MH370, missing

:08:50.:08:54.

488 days. We learnt a recording made by deep sea microphones the day the

:08:55.:08:57.

plane vanished is reigniting debate about whether plane might be. Some

:08:58.:09:01.

wonder if this is the moment the plane hit the water. Listen.

:09:02.:09:11.

Investigators say that sound could be flight MH370 on impact. But the

:09:12.:09:17.

map. It was recorded in the south Indian Ocean thousands of miles from

:09:18.:09:21.

the search area. But it say it doesn't add up and they say it is

:09:22.:09:24.

likely an underwater earthquake. 88 days since the plane vanished. A

:09:25.:09:31.

grim anniversary, 25 years ago that the massacre in Tiananmen Square

:09:32.:09:34.

happened, students mounting a protest and the deadly crack down by

:09:35.:09:39.

police. Our correspondent went back to look at the crowds, who were

:09:40.:09:44.

replaced by security cameras and checkpoints. Then and now. Troops

:09:45.:09:51.

marching, raising the Chinese flag. This injuring image tonight. The

:09:52.:09:55.

lone protest blocking tanks with his body. The mystery, who is he? Still

:09:56.:10:01.

unsolved all of these years later. Back home. Terrifying moments for

:10:02.:10:05.

the family in colour writer. A bouncy slide picked up and blown

:10:06.:10:10.

away by 30 mph winds. The parents watching it all as the children are

:10:11.:10:17.

trapped inside. An incredible sight. The parents and children who were

:10:18.:10:21.

inside describe the moment in the air. Our correspondent with the

:10:22.:10:27.

safety concerns tonight. AJ Ruta and Madison were playing at a park and

:10:28.:10:36.

we have seen what happened next. I flew out. Little AJ was stuck

:10:37.:10:44.

inside. I was thrown around a lot. I blacked out. The children only had

:10:45.:10:49.

minor injuries, incredibly. Their parents feared the worst. He was a

:10:50.:10:55.

motionless, expressionless, his eyes were open, in shock. The company

:10:56.:11:01.

tells ABC News it feels terrible. The wind came from nowhere. Believe

:11:02.:11:06.

it or not, these accidents are common. A 2010 study found 30 kids

:11:07.:11:13.

per day were rushed to hospital with these injuries. That is why it is

:11:14.:11:17.

important to use stakes to secure the rights and in high winds, no one

:11:18.:11:22.

should be in there. `` secure the rights. This boy was in hospital for

:11:23.:11:26.

eight days after a bounce house went flying. We have a long road ahead of

:11:27.:11:32.

us but he is killing OK. Meanwhile, the boy and girl 's parents are

:11:33.:11:36.

hoping their story sounds the alarm. I could have died from this, so I am

:11:37.:11:44.

very happy that I am OK. We are glad everyone is OK. Now to

:11:45.:11:49.

some poignant images as the nation prepares to mark the 70th

:11:50.:11:54.

anniversary of D`Day. Newly released images of the invasion of Normandy

:11:55.:11:58.

captured by planes flying overhead on the day. You can see that those

:11:59.:12:01.

nearing the shore where soldiers will race up the beach. Look in the

:12:02.:12:06.

distance, the plumes of smoke being French villages burning. We will

:12:07.:12:09.

have more to mark the day on Friday here on ABC World News. More ahead

:12:10.:12:14.

this Wednesday night. Putting your windows to the test when severe

:12:15.:12:18.

weather strikes. We sent debris, place of wood rocketing into the

:12:19.:12:21.

windows. Those taking them really well? The results tonight, what

:12:22.:12:25.

every family can do. Now to the severe weather warning at

:12:26.:13:10.

home. Millions on alert into tomorrow. One driver on the ground

:13:11.:13:16.

on a treacherous highway captured the lightning in misery. The same

:13:17.:13:21.

system marches east. The forecast, in a moment. First, our

:13:22.:13:24.

correspondent in the storm zone right now. Tonight, a second blast

:13:25.:13:32.

of severe storms marching across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys and

:13:33.:13:37.

Western Plains. Packing baseball sized windshield busting hail. At

:13:38.:13:44.

these car dealerships, hail damage costing $15 million. In Omaha,

:13:45.:13:50.

rescues by raft, strong winds in Kansas looking over train cars.

:13:51.:13:55.

Tonight come at neighbourhoods in tatters and pickup trucks are busy.

:13:56.:14:01.

When the storm hit, this giant maple tree came crashing down on his

:14:02.:14:07.

house. It could have been worse. I am thankful my kid was OK. I have a

:14:08.:14:15.

house. This storm has generated 350 reports of large hail, damaging wind

:14:16.:14:22.

the threat as it moves north`east is more wind and flash flooding ``

:14:23.:14:25.

damaging wind. More of a threat from chief

:14:26.:14:30.

meteorologist at the Powerhouse station in Philadelphia. You are

:14:31.:14:34.

tracking it from the weather centre. The last 24 hours, the storm report

:14:35.:14:39.

numbers have been astounding. We have more than 13 reports of

:14:40.:14:43.

tornadoes and it is not only tornadoes. More than 200 reports of

:14:44.:14:47.

wind and hail damage over eight dates. We are talking about 70`100

:14:48.:14:53.

mph winds. Some of the hail is the size of baseball 's. You are telling

:14:54.:14:57.

me the system is on the move. It is shifting to the south and east ``

:14:58.:15:03.

baseballs. The focus will be on Kentucky, Tennessee Valley and parts

:15:04.:15:08.

of the midwest. There is a secondary system developing across the plain

:15:09.:15:11.

states. There is the potential for strong wind, large hail and flash

:15:12.:15:14.

flooding with rain up to five inches. The focus on the severe

:15:15.:15:19.

weather from Wichita to Memphis and parts of eastern Colorado, here,

:15:20.:15:23.

more strong winds and again the potential for large hail. The next

:15:24.:15:28.

24 hours will be very active. Topping the instant index, breaking

:15:29.:15:32.

news about the owner of the LA Clippers. Word that Donald Sterling

:15:33.:15:36.

has agreed to sell his team and drop his lawsuit against the NBA. Steve

:15:37.:15:41.

Bulman and now buying the team for $2 billion. Next, hurricane season

:15:42.:15:43.

is here and severe hitting again, a test for the

:15:44.:15:49.

windows in your home. Insurance companies tell us the average cost

:15:50.:15:53.

to repair homes damaged by wind and hail is $6,500 after the major storm

:15:54.:15:58.

hits. Tonight, putting your windows to the test. Our correspondent has

:15:59.:16:01.

anthers with what works and what doesn't. `` has anthers. Are you

:16:02.:16:09.

ready if disaster hits? A flying projectile through a window. Eight

:16:10.:16:16.

inches of rainfall an hour. The power of a storm seen up close in a

:16:17.:16:20.

lab. Storms that batter and destroyed homes. It turns out, at

:16:21.:16:23.

your windows are one of the most vulnerable spots. Not just from

:16:24.:16:27.

flying glass, but broken windows can allow a storms pressure to rip your

:16:28.:16:34.

roof right. `` write`off. We had to be lab to find out how to protect

:16:35.:16:40.

the Windows. We are going to impact the product with a big piece of

:16:41.:16:44.

wood. That would hurt. It would. When a storm is coming, Tait at your

:16:45.:16:52.

Windows. I have covered dozens of storms. It doesn't help? Not at all.

:16:53.:16:57.

Just watch. Tape on the window didn't work. As you can see, the

:16:58.:17:03.

impact went completely through and you have larger pieces that could do

:17:04.:17:08.

damage. How about the plywood boards? Back at the lab... The

:17:09.:17:17.

results are better. Experts tell us that would provide inconsistent

:17:18.:17:19.

protection and could allow the windows to break. In the special

:17:20.:17:26.

Metal Storm shutters? The safest of all. Windows that can withstand

:17:27.:17:32.

winds of 200 mph, this one they are testing at 150 and look at it. It

:17:33.:17:36.

won't break. It is like it is breathing. We tested it. That is

:17:37.:17:44.

what is called high impact last. The laminate it is job. The pressure

:17:45.:17:51.

from the outset conference inside. `` outside. They are twice the cost

:17:52.:17:55.

of normal Windows. In the storm zone, when you wind is the last

:17:56.:17:57.

barrier between loved ones and the elements, it might be an investment

:17:58.:18:02.

worth making. Thank you for watching. From all of

:18:03.:18:06.

us here, have a good evening. After a fairly bitter and wet day on

:18:07.:18:21.

Wednesday, many of us will see an improvement through Thursday. We

:18:22.:18:27.

still have quite a bit of rain in many northern

:18:28.:18:28.
