we investigate the threat. Real money `` one in three Americans do

this. Tonight, a really smart and inexpensive way to fix your broken

phone. Supreme makeover `` the rescued months turned into canine

cops. `` mutts. Good evening on this new week after

our holiday weekend. We began with a series of storms.

There was a kind of savage beauty in Iowa. Under this hour, a new buildup

of storms on the way. `` and. No rest for the weather weary. People

watch as a tornado goes through this field in Iowa. Even the storm chaser

who captured this was caught offguard. If I hadn't seen it with

my own eyes, I would have thought it was strange because the storm was

expected to be that large. 13 reported tornadoes in Iowa reported.

This woman 's life was turned upside

down. I said, dear God, don't track me here amongst three beautiful

grandchildren. Tonight, 65 million Americans remain in the storm zone.

In North Dakota, winds strong enough to flatten this trailer. A mph winds

in Michigan. `` 110. Up and down the Mississippi, they are bracing for

more rain. Flooding has already forced the closure of several

bridges and roads. In Utah, they could use more rain for their

visas. 6000 acres have already burned. Temperatures are nearing

triple digits. A severe thunderstorm watch the New York and Pennsylvania

tonight. More storms in the forecast. It is not over yet.

Thank you. We also want to tell you tonight about a monster typhoon at

700 miles wide and peering down on 250 thousand American military

members and their families stationed in Okinawa Japan. We hear how they

are digging in. Already heavy rain is hitting Okinawa. It could be one

of the strongest storms to hit Japan in decades. In the past are 52,000

Americans, servicemen and their families. The 700 mile wide storm,

Typhoon Neoguri, is packing winds of 700 mph. That is the equivalent of a

category three storm and the United States. It is expected to hit

tomorrow. Japanese weather officials have hit

`` given their highest warnings. The US military has heeded that warning.

They have started flying out aircraft. 61 and a craft in all have

been flown to other bases in the Pacific. `` aircraft. Is the

warnings weren't enough, take a look at these shots. This is from the

space station. It has been downgraded from a super ties them,

but its track takes it right past Okinawa and then it heads for the

Japanese mainland. It is not expected to get stronger as it hits

the call will waters in the north via the Japanese mainland. `` colder

waters. Now to an eruption of gun violence and a city trying to change

the dynamic. At least eight dozen people were killed and 82 wounded by

gunfire in Chicago. It was the biggest search and gun violence the

city has seen all year. `` surge. This woman was among the dead while

she was barbecuing and the park with her loved ones. Her panicked family

frantically called 911. She was like a daughter. The city 's top cop

blamed part of the problem on weak gun laws. There is a greater

sanction for the government to lose their gun from their gang than two

go to prison. `` to go. At the summit with Diane Sawyer, we met

several people familiar with the streets who told us the same thing.

Finding a gun he does not take a lot of work. How easy is it to find a

gun? It is just like picking up a crayon. The uptake of violence comes

on the heels of the strategies put in by the Chicago police. They are

targeting hotspots in neighbourhoods and a better monitoring and response

system. This weekend was particularly bloody, although with

the police point out that murders are down 6% from this point last

year. Getting guns off the street is a priority. So far this year, more

than 3400 guns have been seized. Now we turn to the new video of the

terror mastermind taking centre stage tonight. His fierce followers

have seized large parts of Iraq and they have a lot of money and

vengeance in their words. Tonight, the US is increasing security on its

aeroplanes and we are on this story. Not since Osama Bin Laden has any

terror leader caused so much concern to the United States with its

threats and battlefield successes. On the video posted over the

weekend, Abu Bakr`al`Baghdadi flashed an expensive watch and raise

the stakes, as he claimed he was the new prince of the entire Muslim

world. I have been even this great responsibility, he said in the

captured city of Mosul. Most Muslims, almost all Muslims around

the world are horrified by that. His flat to create a new Islamist state

is backed by thousands of fighters around the world, including the

United States, and millions of dollars. In a stunning military

campaign, his group has either rapidly seized or had an operational

presence in a wide area of territory in Iraq and Syria, about the

distance from Washington DC. `` to Chicago. This could cause ongoing

threats. We are concerned about the threats to the United States. The

ongoing threat could come from those in Syria and Iraq with Western

passports, who could be carrying bombs. The threat is real and

strong. Clearly, the United States is the number`1 target. United

States intelligence reported that the bombs could be in in technology,

possibly inside batteries. People are being told they must turn on

their electronic devices at security checkpoints before boarding flights.

These enhanced measures were started this weekend, including at Heathrow

Airport. This is on flights to the United States. You have to do turn

your computer on board. `` to turn. How did all this happen? We tracked

down that American Hustle student. `` high school.

Israel striking back. Today calling up some 1500 reserve troops,

preparing for the worst. This on the heels of the most violent riots

Jerusalem has seen on a decade. Triggered by the murder of a

16`year`old. He is believed to have been burned alive by Jewish

extremists carrying out a revenge attack for the killing of three

Israeli teams. Their bodies were found in week ago. His 15`year`old

American cousin was at those clashes when he was viciously assaulted by

Israeli police. We visited him today. Black eyes, stitches on his

lip. They punched me. They punched me more. I was unconscious. Have you

watched the video? Yes, it was messed up. He was on summer

vacation, visiting his Palestinian family. He was born in Baltimore,

and he lives in Canberra. His Instagram profile is typical scenes

of a teenage life. But police say he joined in the violent clashes and

attacked them. He denies that. Are you angry? I and very angry. I do

not know why they gave me punishment for something I did not do. The

State Department say they are profoundly troubled by the incident

and have called for an investigation.

At the Vatican today, the first extensive meeting between Pope

Francis and the victims of sex abuse by priests. He says he begs

forgiveness for quote since Greg crimes committed. He can paint

priests who abuse minors to eight sacrilegious cult.

In South Africa, a new twist on the emotion packed murder trial of Oscar

Pistorius. He is accused of shooting his model girlfriend, Reeva

Steenkamp in his home. Today a private video in which he re`enacts

what he says happened that night. Since the beginning of his trial for

murder, Oscar Pistorius's camp has painted the picture of a vulnerable

man. Raising questions about the Olympic champion's ability to move

and protect himself without his prosthetics. That is why he says he

was quick to grab a gun when he thought he heard intruders. But

tonight, take a look at this new haunt Nvidia, showing him running on

his stumps, seemingly agile, re`enacting his movements that

fateful night. His right arm extended forward, mimicking holding

a gun. It also shows how he says he found Reeva Steenkamp, slumped over

in the bathroom. Later how he struggled to move higher. His sister

playing the part of the victim. He says he hired a US company to film

the full private purposes. The video has not been admitted as evidence in

court. The prosecution has already heard its last witness. Those new

images seen around the world tonight as the judge weighs murder or self

defence. And still ahead, all those gadgets

you thought were tapped out. Our money team and taps into big

savings. And the last chance dogs who turned the wheel of Fortune

upside down. The rescue dogs who are now heroes.

Next tonight, our real money team with the secret to breathing new

life into a broken smartphone. 30% of us will damage our phone in the

next 12 months. Here is the way to fix them and keep the money in your

pocket. It is the ultimate cellphone

nightmare. Your screen cracks. You remember when we put these cases to

the test? Everything from spilling coffee and dunking them in water.

The dropping them from 6.5 feet. Even that awful crime. Of driving

over your phone. The cases we tested worked. But what happens when you

rest is not? This is the case you were using. Who did not see our

peace. I did not see your piece. Americans have spent $30 billion on

damaged smartphones. And is 10% of us are using phones with cracked

screens. It can cost $450 or more. But you can go to places to prepare

them for about 100 dollars. At RadioShack, they are rolling out a

programme. You give them a phone, and are hour later, it is fixed. So

many other companies are getting in on that. This one in Chicago, you

send them the phone, they fix it and send it back. It costs about 100

bucks. That could be $50 cheaper than if you purchased insurance for

your phone. Probably best to get an iPhone fixed than you would for the

deductible to the insurance company. And this company will even come to

you. Meet them at your local copy shop. `` coffee. That can

RadioShack, this phone looks brand`new. Were you scared watching

it being pulled apart? Yes. But it looks brand`new.

morning, Washington state will become the second state in America

to sell legal, recreational marijuana. The State issue licences

to sell one ounce at a time to adults. Colorado, more than $5

million worth was sold in the first week. Also tonight, a plea for the

future of the music business from none other than Taylor Swift. She

asks that people see music as are at, important and rarer.

And the long arm of the US jury system snout another singer today,

Madonna. The court decided that her being on

a jury was more of a distraction than a help. She was released from

jury duty after 1.5 hours. Finally tonight, shelter dogs turned into

champions. Rescuing others. The dogs who proved a second chance can

produce a first`rate hero. The police dogs working on the beat

across America are usually purebreds from Europe that costs tens of

thousands of dollars. But this trainer says police can get the same

work for next to nothing if they just trained the countless future

canines on death Row like shelters here. They have rescued the 60 dogs

from shelters across the South. All they need is a chance to prove

themselves. These dogs will work as hard as the purebreds. They trained

them for various kinds of work and delivered the canines to local

police departments for free. Today they have 15 dogs in the class. And

this one is the star student. This is what she looked like the day

animal control pickup. They are saving people `` dogs from being

euthanised. Watch her find the drugs in seconds. The reward her with her

favourite toy. She wants to work to get that ball back. They are not

just joining police work, they are joining police families. I think she

knows that And we thank Brad full writing as a
