:00:00. > :00:00.are under threat. Time now for a look at the news as seen across the
:00:00. > :00:11.United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World News with Diane Sawyer.
:00:12. > :00:14.Welcome to World News. Tonight, the teenager stopped from plotting an
:00:15. > :00:24.attack on a school. Tonight, his video, is words, and his reasons.
:00:25. > :00:28.Dangerous guys, tornadoes drop from the clouds, families escape the
:00:29. > :00:42.rising water. And some exciting news from right here at home, at ABC
:00:43. > :00:45.News. And a good evening to you on this Wednesday night. We begin with
:00:46. > :00:51.professional football, and the toll it takes on at wits. We are talking
:00:52. > :00:55.about concussions. And today, a victory for the players at the NFL
:00:56. > :01:00.`` athletes. It is about money and responsibility, and our
:01:01. > :01:03.correspondent starters. Today's concussions settlement replaces the
:01:04. > :01:09.earlier agreement between players and the NFL. They capped the damages
:01:10. > :01:13.at $675 million. The judge said it was not enough money. Now the league
:01:14. > :01:18.has agreed to lift that cap, which could drive the potential cost to
:01:19. > :01:21.more than $1 billion. Despite no public admission of responsibility
:01:22. > :01:27.for the brain injuries by the league. Nobody makes a gift of
:01:28. > :01:30.hundreds of millions of dollars unless they believe they are
:01:31. > :01:35.implicated in the wrongdoing in some respect. The damage done by repeated
:01:36. > :01:41.brain injury dramatically illustrated on Capitol Hill today in
:01:42. > :01:47.a video made by a former pass receiver. Everything kind of came to
:01:48. > :01:52.a screeching stop. The father of three who testified that his memory
:01:53. > :01:56.loss and fear of isolation caused by dementia again after suffering five
:01:57. > :02:00.concussions over a short five`year NFL career. During my five`year old
:02:01. > :02:07.daughter tell our family practice doctor that at times she doesn't
:02:08. > :02:12.know me. As a father, it puts the idea of the effects of traumatic
:02:13. > :02:17.brain injury on a completely different level. Tonight, an
:02:18. > :02:23.estimated 18,000 NFL retirees and their families can expect to receive
:02:24. > :02:29.a seven figure cheque from America's most popular sport. We
:02:30. > :02:34.moved next to the landmark ruling by the Supreme Court. In this world of
:02:35. > :02:38.pervasive technology, something has been declared personal. The private
:02:39. > :02:41.information of your cellphone, and today the court said even law
:02:42. > :02:49.enforcement has to respect boundaries, as our correspondent
:02:50. > :02:53.reports. In the 21st century, we carry virtually a whole lives with
:02:54. > :02:57.us on our phones. Our e`mails, messages, calendars, our games,
:02:58. > :03:03.Apps, 90% of Americans carry a cellphone. 12% admit they use theirs
:03:04. > :03:08.in the shower. So does a police officer have the power to search
:03:09. > :03:14.through your entire phone if you get arrested for anything? Today the
:03:15. > :03:18.Supreme Court justices who who divide so closely on so many issues
:03:19. > :03:22.were unanimous in declaring no. This is probably the most important
:03:23. > :03:26.privacy ruling in the digital age. Today's ruling stems from cases in
:03:27. > :03:30.California and Massachusetts where police searched the phones of two
:03:31. > :03:35.man who had been arrested and found evidence of other criminal conduct.
:03:36. > :03:38.The government argued that it was the equivalent of searching the
:03:39. > :03:45.wallet, which is allowed. But that notion was mocked. He said that is
:03:46. > :03:49.like saying a ride on a horse is investing which will from a flight
:03:50. > :03:53.to the moon. He concluded by saying the court was issuing a simple
:03:54. > :03:56.command to police who want to search the phone. Get a warrant. The
:03:57. > :04:00.justices did acknowledge that this opinion will make it harder for
:04:01. > :04:07.law`enforcement to combat crime. But as the chip Chief Justice said,
:04:08. > :04:11.privacy comes at a cost. This ruling is sweeping, it is basically the
:04:12. > :04:18.court telling the government to back off from our digital lives. Great to
:04:19. > :04:22.have you at the Supreme Court. We have a note about a legal showdown
:04:23. > :04:27.between the House of Representatives and the White House. Speaker John
:04:28. > :04:30.Boehner said he will file a lawsuit against the Obama administration
:04:31. > :04:35.because the President is using executive power to bypass Congress
:04:36. > :04:39.and change laws. He insists the suit is not about impeachment. And
:04:40. > :04:43.overseas, to the crisis in Iraq, where dozens of American advisers
:04:44. > :04:49.are now on the ground in Baghdad. That is where we find our
:04:50. > :04:55.correspondent tonight. With the fight for Iraq moving closer to the
:04:56. > :04:58.capital, today in Baghdad, 90 of America's newly deployed military
:04:59. > :05:04.advisers went to work, trying to find a way to bolster Iraq's forces.
:05:05. > :05:08.But this fight is now bringing together the world's most unlikely
:05:09. > :05:13.alliance. On the same side as the US, Iran, sending in weapons and
:05:14. > :05:19.drones to help stop the Jihad is. And Syria, unleashing its firepower
:05:20. > :05:26.from the air. It is America, with its unmatched military, which many
:05:27. > :05:31.here say it must play a bigger role, and quickly. Leaders told us
:05:32. > :05:39.they don't lack men or courage, this battle could be one quick wit if
:05:40. > :05:45.America would unleash airstrikes. `` could be won quickly. Iraq's
:05:46. > :05:50.minister today definitively ruled that out. And that means that the
:05:51. > :06:02.violence sweeping the country tonight is not likely to stop.
:06:03. > :06:07.It is one thing when it neighbourhoods flooded, it is
:06:08. > :06:12.another thing that went nearly an entire state is under water.
:06:13. > :06:19.Tonight, families are at using everything they can prepare for the
:06:20. > :06:24.next rain moves in. The night in Minnesota, an entire
:06:25. > :06:30.neighbourhood inundated. These pictures captured by a drone camera.
:06:31. > :06:40.Non`stop sandbagging as residents fight to keep water out. This road
:06:41. > :06:46.collapsed because of all the water. A first`hand look at the hard`hit
:06:47. > :06:49.smalltown in Minnesota. You will not even let cars go on this road. We
:06:50. > :06:56.are not letting anybody on this road. Everybody here evacuated since
:06:57. > :07:05.last Thursday. It is a ghost town. It is not just Minnesota. People are
:07:06. > :07:12.abandoning their stalled cars. Even all the way to Pennsylvania. Back in
:07:13. > :07:21.Minnesota, there are already bracing for another 3`5 inches of rain.
:07:22. > :07:26.Next, we go inside a foiled plots to attack a high school. Tonight, a
:07:27. > :07:29.teenager in his own words methodically lays out his plan,
:07:30. > :07:38.saying he was inspired by Columbine and he was never bullied. What led
:07:39. > :07:41.him to the darkest thoughts? You never before heard police
:07:42. > :07:43.interrogation tapes, this 17`year`old details a planned high
:07:44. > :07:53.school massacre. He tells police he also wanted to
:07:54. > :08:09.kill his parents and sister. He says he hid his violent fantasies
:08:10. > :08:25.from everyone, including his father. But police say he was stockpiling
:08:26. > :08:30.weapons, posting videos of him playing with knives. Testing
:08:31. > :08:36.home`made explosives. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted
:08:37. > :08:41.murder. In his chilling interview with police, he says he was never
:08:42. > :08:50.bullied and points to just one reason for his plot.
:08:51. > :08:54.He was arrested in April when a neighbour saw him heading to his
:08:55. > :09:01.weapons store room and called police. Experts were struck by his
:09:02. > :09:09.demeanour. He is so collected and has so many answers without a sense
:09:10. > :09:15.of anxiety. It raises questions about antisocial personality
:09:16. > :09:21.features. A personality we are now learning more about.
:09:22. > :09:25.From a foiled plot to the intense manhunt for an escaped killer. This
:09:26. > :09:32.surveillance video shows a prisoner with a shotgun tried to break into a
:09:33. > :09:36.hermit in Arkansas on Saturday. `` home. He kidnapped the daughter of a
:09:37. > :09:47.prison official. She escaped and called 911. Now to the war of words
:09:48. > :09:52.escalating from North Korea over a Hollywood movie. We told you about
:09:53. > :09:56.the new comedy poking fun at the strange, unpredictable leader of
:09:57. > :10:00.North Korea. But he says this is no joke, worrying that if the US does
:10:01. > :10:06.not stop the film, it is an act of war.
:10:07. > :10:16.Today, this movie was decried by North Korea as an act of war. The
:10:17. > :10:18.interview follows a pair of entertainment journalists recruited
:10:19. > :10:28.by the CAA to assassinate the North Korean despot. `` CIA. Spokesman for
:10:29. > :10:31.the hermit Kingdom says that if it is released it will trigger a strong
:10:32. > :10:37.and much less response against the United States.
:10:38. > :10:50.He claims his comedy sheds light on it sinister reality. All the random
:10:51. > :10:54.facts you hear are real. John Lang marking the 64th anniversary of the
:10:55. > :10:58.Korean War is known for bluster. `` not career.
:10:59. > :11:06.Kim Jong`un is young, aggressive, unpredictable. They carried out
:11:07. > :11:16.Wi`Fi exercise with cardboard US soldiers. `` live fire. Unthinkable
:11:17. > :11:21.in a land where he is seen as a deity. John Lang claims that they
:11:22. > :11:28.can never escape the stone punishment. `` Zhong Yang.
:11:29. > :11:36.Up next, fighting back. As this is retaliating against you for writing
:11:37. > :13:15.an online review. How do you protect yourself tonight.
:13:16. > :13:24.Next tonight, a consumer warning. Millions of Americans post reviews
:13:25. > :13:27.on websites, everything from restaurants to shopping to home
:13:28. > :13:36.repairs. What happens when the business retaliate against you for a
:13:37. > :13:40.bad review? This man like almost the work any
:13:41. > :13:45.model did turn in his kitchen from this into this. Like so many of us
:13:46. > :13:54.do, he posted his review online. I will never refer to them to anyone.
:13:55. > :13:58.That is when he was slapped with this letter. The contract are
:13:59. > :14:03.accusing him of making a false posting, pulling the plug on his
:14:04. > :14:08.warranty. Experts say it is a growing issue, retaliation after
:14:09. > :14:12.customers post critical comments on everything to dentists, even meals.
:14:13. > :14:19.They are a form of bullying. It is a tactic to silence critics. But some
:14:20. > :14:22.small businesses say they rely on word`of`mouth and sometimes a
:14:23. > :14:28.negative comment is unfair and devastating. There is no way to
:14:29. > :14:30.guarantee you will not be sued, but consumer advocates say when posting
:14:31. > :14:41.a review online, keep these guidelines online. Get evidence. Any
:14:42. > :14:48.problems, get a photograph. And read the fine print before assigning any
:14:49. > :14:55.contracts. As for Travis, we have some good news for you. We spoke to
:14:56. > :15:05.your remodel and they are now reinstating your warranty. Tonight,
:15:06. > :15:09.at least one happy customer. Speak up, but remember, if you are
:15:10. > :15:15.asked to sign a contract, read the fine print. As for Travis, his
:15:16. > :15:20.contract are telling us that they regret the controversy and deeply
:15:21. > :15:27.value customer opinion. That is great advice.
:15:28. > :15:31.At the top of our instant index, a head about modern mothers. Tonight,
:15:32. > :15:37.new research finds that older mothers may live longer. Women who
:15:38. > :15:41.were able to have children without the help of fertility drugs after
:15:42. > :15:47.the age of 33 were twice as likely to live to 95 compare it to women
:15:48. > :15:51.who had children younger. Finally tonight, you may have heard some
:15:52. > :15:55.exciting news from tonight. At the end of the summer, I will be
:15:56. > :16:01.moving to a new role at the network, full`time, flat out, reporting
:16:02. > :16:05.around the world and in`depth specials on the stories that matter
:16:06. > :16:10.to all our lives. I will be telling you more about this in the weeks
:16:11. > :16:15.ahead. I enjoy every night to get to spend with you. Bad so happy that
:16:16. > :16:25.someone is going to be at the helm of world news starting September
:16:26. > :16:31.two. This is the year and `` new anchor. I think of the 12`year`old
:16:32. > :16:35.boy and his dreams of being a reporter. One day I would see the
:16:36. > :16:40.world. But I could never have imagined seeing the world with Diane
:16:41. > :16:48.Sawyer. There have been so many stories. We were gathering our
:16:49. > :16:52.thoughts. Political conventions. So many moments. One of my favourite
:16:53. > :16:58.moments is when you turned to me on this desk and said, the captain of
:16:59. > :17:05.our made in America team is here. Everyone in the studio, they know
:17:06. > :17:08.that you are the captain. You have let us have the mind does every
:17:09. > :17:16.night it is about the viewers at home. That is why the viewers lead
:17:17. > :17:20.us on our journey. They tell us what stories we we have so much planned
:17:21. > :17:30.already. We are going to be joined by others. As David said, over the
:17:31. > :17:40.summer, we have been plans. You are filling in from the tomorrow night.
:17:41. > :17:55.From all of us, we will see you again tomorrow night.
:17:56. > :18:00.So far, this month has been pretty dry across many parts of the UK.
:18:01. > :18:06.Change is coming up over the next few days. Particularly in the
:18:07. > :18:07.southern half of the UK. In the north, waking up to a damp
