:04:22. > :04:25.learnt about the drought has forced possible new water restrictions in

:04:32. > :04:35.with hoses, possible severe restrictions when it comes to
:04:36. > :04:41.watering lawns. The government has been begging residents to reserve
:04:42. > :04:45.water. We turn to that horrific scene Moscow tonight. Behind me, a
:04:46. > :04:49.deadly train disaster, thousands were heading to work. Subway cars
:04:50. > :04:52.jumped the tracks, chaos in the tunnel. Twisted steel, look at
:04:53. > :04:56.this, victims pulled from the wreckage, so many with bandages
:04:57. > :05:00.around their heads. Our correspondent has been at the scene
:05:01. > :05:05.all day as they have passengers out. The modelling careers `` commute

:05:10. > :05:14.There was an abrupt stop and the lights went out, this man said.
:05:15. > :05:21.Then, fire and smoke. We were blocked in. 22 dead, 160 injured.
:05:22. > :05:25.This was where the accident took place, bringing victims out through
:05:26. > :05:28.the day. Now emergency services are going back in with heavy equipment
:05:29. > :05:33.to get to some of the victims and the bodies that have been trapped
:05:34. > :05:38.for hours. It took place 275 feet below ground. The train was speeding
:05:39. > :05:42.up 45 mph when it skipped the track and jackknifed. Authorities ruled
:05:43. > :05:48.out terrorism, but the cause is a mystery. What is clear is that the
:05:49. > :05:53.track today is a wake`up call `` is that the accident today. But only in
:05:54. > :05:57.Russia, but the USA, where warnings that the largest transport system is
:05:58. > :06:02.billions behind on repairs. Investigators have said today that
:06:03. > :06:04.they do not know whether the cause of a faulty line or a defective car,
:06:05. > :06:09.but with millions travelling on the system every day, the race is on to
:06:10. > :06:12.find out. Too fast moving developments in the
:06:13. > :06:16.Middle East tonight, it was last night here that we reported on talk
:06:17. > :06:22.of a possible ceasefire in eejit, offering to broker a deal, and
:06:23. > :06:23.tonight, new warnings on the evacuations and where this hours ``

:06:37. > :06:42.watches Hamas launching rockets. Israel answers with air strikes of
:06:43. > :06:46.its own. The Prime Minister has vowed to step up the campaign
:06:47. > :06:52.against Hamas. Today, the first Israeli casualty, a man hit by a
:06:53. > :06:58.mortar. In Gaza, almost 200 civilians have been killed. In Gaza
:06:59. > :07:03.today, those we spoke with rejected talk of a ceasefire. They say Israel
:07:04. > :07:09.is laying siege to Gaza, denying goods and basic rights, making life
:07:10. > :07:14.miserable here. I want to defend our lives until we get something. It's
:07:15. > :07:20.not just sending rockets without meaning. Tonight, more than 100,000
:07:21. > :07:25.people in Gaza are receiving phone calls and text messages from
:07:26. > :07:32.Israel's military, warning them that more air strikes are imminent.
:07:33. > :07:37.Israel says Hamas's rejection of the ceasefire will now have
:07:38. > :07:41.consequences. Now, the horrific images out of Afghanistan tonight,
:07:42. > :07:48.the aftermath of a deadly suicide bombing. At least 89 people were
:07:49. > :07:58.killed when a car bomb detonated in the capital.
:07:59. > :08:02.Meanwhile, back in the US, a heart stopping moment for one woman. With
:08:03. > :08:07.her children trapped in a hot car, she was scrambling to get them out
:08:08. > :08:13.after it is believed she locks them in by accident. The children are OK.
:08:14. > :08:20.We have seen the new recordings on tape. Police officers putting
:08:21. > :08:25.themselves in hot cars to show how dangerous it is. We report on the
:08:26. > :08:35.new push for technology to help everyone. Watch as these frantic
:08:36. > :08:38.people, one wielding a hammer, tried to rescue two small children locked
:08:39. > :08:43.in the backseat of this cheap. Finally, a woman slides through the
:08:44. > :08:49.window and opens the door. She is their mother. Here she is inside a
:08:50. > :08:53.store with the children. She says she accidentally locked the children
:08:54. > :08:57.in the car. It was 96 degrees. It only takes ten minutes for a car's
:08:58. > :09:04.temperature to increase 19 degrees. A small child could die from the
:09:05. > :09:09.heat in less than 15 minutes. The desperate woman called on these Good
:09:10. > :09:17.Samaritan is to help. I was like, man, everyone is worried! Each year,
:09:18. > :09:22.40 children die of heat stroke in hot cars. 17 in this year alone.
:09:23. > :09:27.Many because parents simply forget their children are in the backseat.
:09:28. > :09:32.This week, a new petition called on the White House to fund research
:09:33. > :09:35.into a hi`tech solution. Any vehicles have camera technology to
:09:36. > :09:39.monitor what is going on outside. One company is working on technology
:09:40. > :09:45.to monitor what is going on inside your car after you have left it. It
:09:46. > :09:49.could alert parents if a child is still inside. The new technology is
:09:50. > :09:57.still years away, which is why parents are making their case with
:09:58. > :10:05.video diaries online will stop `` video diaries online. Common sense
:10:06. > :10:09.is still the only solution. Henry Kissinger underwent surgery today.
:10:10. > :10:19.He is said to be recovering tonight and resting comfortably. Much more
:10:20. > :10:23.to come this evening. Sandra Bullock and the food she discovered in her
:10:24. > :10:29.home. Is the law is strong enough? Can anything `` and the person she
:10:30. > :11:14.discovered in her home. Is the law strong enough? Can anything be done?
:11:15. > :11:18.We are learning more tonight about Sandra Bullock, coming face`to`face
:11:19. > :11:30.with an alleged stalker who broke into her home. What can be done? The
:11:31. > :11:36.a list celebrity was asleep in her home last month. She told police
:11:37. > :11:44.that loud noises woke her up. Then, she saw a man walking in her
:11:45. > :11:48.hallway, right past her bedroom. New details and a search warrant show
:11:49. > :11:57.how terrifyingly close she came to her alleged stalker. Police say they
:11:58. > :12:00.found the man inside her home. He screamed for her not to press
:12:01. > :12:06.charges. According to the search warrant, the man was obsessed with
:12:07. > :12:12.Sandra Bullock. He says that without her in his life, there is only
:12:13. > :12:18.misery. Sandra Bullock's son was not at home at the time. Stalking is a
:12:19. > :12:24.crime in every state but less than one third of all states consider it
:12:25. > :12:29.a felony upon a first offence. If violence is not perpetrated, you
:12:30. > :12:36.cannot lock up they stalker for ever. The answer lies in mental
:12:37. > :12:39.health intervention. Four years ago, Sandra Bullock was granted a
:12:40. > :12:42.restraining order against a man who had allegedly travelled across the
:12:43. > :12:46.country to meet her after being released from a mental hospital. In
:12:47. > :12:51.California, the laws have been increased. We used to have
:12:52. > :12:58.three`year restraining orders. It has now been increased to ten years.
:12:59. > :13:02.A frightening moment for America's sweetheart that may have left her
:13:03. > :13:08.feeling like a prisoner in her own home. Police say they found a
:13:09. > :13:15.stockpile of weapons and ammunition when they searched the stalker's
:13:16. > :13:23.home. Very frightening.
:13:24. > :13:40.Now, Washington State. A popular vacation spot, a late, `` eight lake
:13:41. > :13:45.is making dozens of people sick. Tonight, the lake is closed and
:13:46. > :13:50.health officials are scrambling to determine what turned its placid
:13:51. > :13:56.waters into a health hazard after more than 200 swimmers became sick.
:13:57. > :14:02.We received a phone call this morning from a concerned parent who
:14:03. > :14:09.had heard reports about a potential problem at the lake. That problem is
:14:10. > :14:15.still a mystery tonight. They do not suspect a virus like Norovirus, a
:14:16. > :14:23.stomach bug you often hear about on cruise ships. The lake has had a
:14:24. > :14:27.Norovirus outbreak before. We were going to have a family reunion this
:14:28. > :14:32.weekend and now we have to tell people it will be somewhere else.
:14:33. > :14:38.How can you tell if there is a danger in the lake your family swims
:14:39. > :14:45.in? Experts say you should never go in if a lake is overcrowded. When
:14:46. > :14:53.you get out, wash your hands. And never drink the water. But the lake
:14:54. > :14:58.will be open again before too long. Now to an investigation tonight. The
:14:59. > :15:05.FBI is on the Trail of an alleged art scam conspiracy. The scam is
:15:06. > :15:13.accused of making millions of dollars off a fake masterpiece.
:15:14. > :15:16.Side`by`side, a mockup of the real thing next to the fate. The trouble
:15:17. > :15:22.is that for so many buyers, this is hardly a laughing matter. They have
:15:23. > :15:27.lost millions of dollars. We were tracking down one of those alleged
:15:28. > :15:33.scammers. Listen to how he explains himself tonight. The works of
:15:34. > :15:37.big`name artists going for tens of millions of dollars. It is no
:15:38. > :15:42.surprise that away from the auction house, that big`money has attracted
:15:43. > :15:47.a flock of criminals, including this New York art dealer, selling
:15:48. > :15:53.masterful fakes. One of these is authentic. The other is fake. Many
:15:54. > :16:06.people were not able to tell which was which. This one. I know him
:16:07. > :16:11.quite well. It's not easy. The fete, which once sold for $8.3 million, is
:16:12. > :16:17.one of dozens of works that authorities they were created by one
:16:18. > :16:23.of the great fraudsters of all`time `` the fraudulent artwork, which
:16:24. > :16:30.once sold for $8.3 million. We found the fraudster in China. Here he is.
:16:31. > :16:35.He was working in Times Square, drawing portraits of tourists, when
:16:36. > :16:39.he says he was recruited by two New York art dealers to create a fake
:16:40. > :16:45.masterpieces that sold for a total of $80 million. TRANSLATION: My
:16:46. > :16:49.intent was not for my fake paintings to be sold for the real thing. But
:16:50. > :16:55.authorities say that he forged the signatures of some of the artists he
:16:56. > :17:00.copied. He told us he was shocked that people mix them up. But the
:17:01. > :17:04.scam went on for years until this London billionaire realised he had
:17:05. > :17:08.been conned when he paid $17 million for this supposes painting by
:17:09. > :17:13.Jackson Pollock. Experts discovered the yellow paint in the painting had
:17:14. > :17:18.not been sold until 14 years after Jackson Pollock's death. It turned
:17:19. > :17:22.out it was the work of the accused Times Square fake. The two are
:17:23. > :17:27.dealers who recruited the artist have been charged in the scam. One
:17:28. > :17:32.has pleaded guilty and the other is under arrest in Spain. Many were
:17:33. > :17:35.sold through one of New York's's most prominent art galleries, which
:17:36. > :17:40.is now gone out of this mess as a result. Thank you for joining us
:17:41. > :17:59.this evening. Some very warm if not hot weather on
:18:00. > :18:03.the way. The temperatures will keep building across the South. During
:18:04. > :18:04.the course of the night, there is some fresh
