:00:00. > :00:00.Time now for a look at the news as seen across the United States a
:00:00. > :00:00.couple of hours ago, in ABC World News with Dianne Sawyer.
:00:07. > :00:15.Welcome. Tonight, saving your sanity, firefighters unleashed
:00:16. > :00:24.torrents of water to save an American treasure. Families are
:00:25. > :00:28.turned away by smoke and flames. A big change about skin cancer. Why it
:00:29. > :00:34.is getting worse and what America's top doctor says you need to do.
:00:35. > :00:36.Taken, the young victim who mysteriously vanished for nine
:00:37. > :00:43.months faces her accused kidnapper in court. And second to spare. The
:00:44. > :00:44.stunning video of two women stuck on a bridge with a train approaching.
:00:45. > :01:02.How did they escape? Good evening. A treasured part of
:01:03. > :01:08.America, Yosemite National is the scene of battle. `` Yosemite
:01:09. > :01:13.National Park, is the scene of a battle. An eerie image from recent
:01:14. > :01:22.days, each Golden dot is another fire.
:01:23. > :01:30.It is not the vacation many travellers were expecting. It's
:01:31. > :01:33.closed. Frustrated families facing roadblocks, closed campsite and
:01:34. > :01:41.heavy smoke from a wildfire burning nearly five square miles since
:01:42. > :01:46.Saturday. Many expecting Yosemite's world`famous scenery, and not a
:01:47. > :01:52.firefight. These are the biggest weapons firefighters are using
:01:53. > :01:58.tonight. Helicopters loading water and targeting the danger zones. Most
:01:59. > :02:01.of the fire is inaccessible and it will continue to grow unchecked if
:02:02. > :02:08.we didn't have the helicopters onboard. The non`stop ever assault
:02:09. > :02:12.of 250 drops each day, giving crews on the frontline is time to get
:02:13. > :02:16.ahead of the flames. 100 miles to the north, evacuations had been
:02:17. > :02:21.lifted after another wildfire destroyed 13 homes. This low`flying
:02:22. > :02:29.drones nearly causing more problems by getting in the way of
:02:30. > :02:33.firefighting aircraft. `` drone. One of the most critical tools in this
:02:34. > :02:35.already busy fire season. Yosemite National Park is open but it isn't
:02:36. > :02:38.easy getting to all of the main attractions. Roadblocks are forcing
:02:39. > :02:44.some travellers to take to our detours.
:02:45. > :02:49.Thank you. Ginger is here to give us a look ahead. We have been locked in
:02:50. > :02:54.this pattern before and we are in it against his cool and comfortable but
:02:55. > :02:58.towards the West we are still stuck with this. The heat, the wind,
:02:59. > :03:04.everything you don't want when it comes to fire. Red flag warnings for
:03:05. > :03:11.places. Up to 40 mph in places. I have to show you this. Tonight, new
:03:12. > :03:14.pictures coming in from Colorado. You can see the video. Some highways
:03:15. > :03:22.are up to three feet covered in water. It is not of Colorado dealing
:03:23. > :03:28.with that flash flood threat tonight. Ten states have flash flood
:03:29. > :03:34.watches. That's the backside of the monsoon flow, falling in some areas.
:03:35. > :03:37.It's not good. But in some parts of Oklahoma, they need the rain and
:03:38. > :03:42.they will get a lot in the next couple of days. These pictures are
:03:43. > :03:47.stunning. Thank you. Now we turn to the urgent call to action tonight
:03:48. > :03:51.from America's top doctor. He is sounding an alarm about something we
:03:52. > :03:54.see all around us, skin cancer, and is doing it at the height of summer
:03:55. > :03:58.when a lot of the damage is being done.
:03:59. > :04:02.We look at the reason for this new urgency.
:04:03. > :04:12.This is what the surgeon has `` is trying to combat, son. Over the last
:04:13. > :04:19.35 years we have had a crippling of the cases of melanoma in this
:04:20. > :04:23.country. In previous cases, he led the charge against smoking. Today he
:04:24. > :04:26.says to avoid all forms of tanning because skin cancer is now the
:04:27. > :04:32.single most common cancer in America. 5 million treated every
:04:33. > :04:36.year. Its deadliest form, melanoma, is now the only common cancer in
:04:37. > :04:42.America on the rise. The surgeon is also a dermatologist. There's no
:04:43. > :04:47.such thing as a good tan. It is damaged skin and a sign of excessive
:04:48. > :04:52.exposure. Look at the sun damage in these photographs. The skin looks
:04:53. > :04:59.healthy but the spots are permanent alterations. For children, it is
:05:00. > :05:01.especially dangerous. We now know that one blistering sunburn more
:05:02. > :05:07.than doubles the chance of melanoma later in life. So, listen to the
:05:08. > :05:10.Surgeon General and reduce indoor canning and you should be using one
:05:11. > :05:15.ounce of sunscreen every two hours, which means a family of four should
:05:16. > :05:20.use an entire 12 ounce container of lotion. The warning is it just for
:05:21. > :05:23.fair skin. More and more skin cancers are being found in Hispanic
:05:24. > :05:29.populations, as well as African`American. This is becoming a
:05:30. > :05:34.public health crisis. We want to go back to that sentence, one
:05:35. > :05:38.blistering sunburn in childhood doubles the risk of melanoma later?
:05:39. > :05:42.It does. The risk remains low but that's frightening. Inc about it
:05:43. > :05:49.this way, every one of those sunbirds you prevent helps prevent.
:05:50. > :05:59.`` think of it this way, every one of those Simon Burns. Thank you.
:06:00. > :06:05.We had to the heart of the conflict in the Middle East with Israel's
:06:06. > :06:10.against assault on Gaza yet. A new look at the source of the, the
:06:11. > :06:13.tunnels where Palestinian fighters emerged on Israeli soil from
:06:14. > :06:21.underground. Our correspondent is there.
:06:22. > :06:25.New video shows what Hamas says are fighters rising out of tunnels to
:06:26. > :06:31.mount a breeze and our tack yesterday. Their faces are blacked
:06:32. > :06:38.out as they engage in a firefight, killing five soldiers. The group's
:06:39. > :06:45.shadowy military leader pledges no ceasefire until Israel lifts its
:06:46. > :06:49.blockade of Gaza. This after the heaviest nights of bombardment so
:06:50. > :06:57.far. Israel backing up its threat to destroy Hamas. Flares lit up many
:06:58. > :07:01.targets. One of them is the port outside our window. The blast was so
:07:02. > :07:11.powerful, the whole building shook like an earthquake. More than five
:07:12. > :07:15.hours of sustained shelling. Look at the timelapse camera from four to
:07:16. > :07:21.5am, where a whole neighbourhood is reduced to rubble. This afternoon,
:07:22. > :07:26.we cautiously ventured out. This is Gaza's only powerstation, burning
:07:27. > :07:30.still after hours and they estimate it will be out of commission for a
:07:31. > :07:37.year. We went to the home of the former Hamas my minister. This was
:07:38. > :07:42.his house? Not any more. The house, flattened. He wasn't home. The
:07:43. > :07:46.neighbour across the street told me Israel fired three warning shots
:07:47. > :07:54.before finally taking it out. Your whole family was able to get out?
:07:55. > :08:01.Yes, he said, all safe. Renewed shelling tonight. Two asides at war,
:08:02. > :08:05.with neither backing down. `` sides. Thank you to David and the team in
:08:06. > :08:13.the Middle East. Back at home, President Obama issues a challenge
:08:14. > :08:17.to Vladimir Putin. More tough sanctions in partnership with
:08:18. > :08:26.Europe. Will Putin feel the pressure ? What is the answer? The sanctions
:08:27. > :08:30.will sting, going at the lifeline of the Russian economy, hitting the
:08:31. > :08:34.energy, banking and defence sectors in a move coming 12 days after the
:08:35. > :08:38.downing of Malaysia flight 17 as President Obama and announced the
:08:39. > :08:42.moves, making it clear the aim was to make Russia and Vladimir Putin
:08:43. > :08:45.particularly pay a high price for supporting the Russian rebels, the
:08:46. > :08:51.pro`Russian rebels, that shot down the plane. It didn't have to come to
:08:52. > :08:57.this. It doesn't have to be this way. This is a choice that Russia
:08:58. > :09:05.and President Putin particularly has made. Nothing in Putin's behaviour
:09:06. > :09:10.suggest this will change his course. Certainly, if nothing has changed it
:09:11. > :09:13.so far. White House officials say these are the toughest actions taken
:09:14. > :09:17.by the United States and Europe against Russia so far. Reporting
:09:18. > :09:24.from the White House tonight, thank you. Next," on the tracks. The video
:09:25. > :09:30.that shows women trapped on a bridge, trying to outrun a train.
:09:31. > :09:31.Tonight, how they escaped. Weight railroad officials want everyone to
:09:32. > :10:21.see these pictures. `` why. Now, we moved to a dramatic day in a
:10:22. > :10:25.New Hampshire courtroom where a young woman is face`to`face with a
:10:26. > :10:31.34`year`old man under arrest and charged now with kidnapping her.
:10:32. > :10:35.What happened to Abigail Hernandez? How did she disappeared for nine
:10:36. > :10:42.months? The mystery from Ryan Smith's report. For the first time
:10:43. > :10:45.today since coming home to her family, Abigail Hernandez faced the
:10:46. > :10:51.man prosecutors say kidnapped and held her against her will for nine
:10:52. > :10:58.long months. At his arraignment, he held on $1 million Bale, facing
:10:59. > :11:03.felony and kidnapping charges that could bring seven years in prison ``
:11:04. > :11:10.bail. Authorities revealing few details about his return `` return.
:11:11. > :11:14.If there is evidence either crimes will be committed, they will be
:11:15. > :11:19.brought. She disappeared walking home from school in October. When
:11:20. > :11:23.she returned home last week, police released this sketch. He was
:11:24. > :11:26.arrested on Monday, with police searching his residence including
:11:27. > :11:33.this metal storage container 30 miles away from Abigail's home.
:11:34. > :11:36.Police are figuring out if Abigail Hernandez was there all along,
:11:37. > :11:49.leaving some neighbours rattled. What did you hear? That he is
:11:50. > :11:55.creepy. Friends of the family are happy that the alleged capture is
:11:56. > :11:59.behind bars. The biggest relief is that he isn't out there. Tonight,
:12:00. > :12:08.Abby Hernandez is home with her family by her side.
:12:09. > :12:12.Tonight, consumer groups are going to release the annual report of the
:12:13. > :12:17.top ten consumer complaints. One of the biggest is telemarketing calls
:12:18. > :12:22.that come after you block them. We've learned that Robo calls to
:12:23. > :12:29.your cellphone are often illegal. We hear how you can fight back and
:12:30. > :12:32.possibly make money doing it. The unwanted calls coming by the

:14:01. > :14:05.each day to what they think are landlines. But, some are actually
:14:06. > :14:10.cellphones. Beck admits that there are mistakes, but says it is hard to
:14:11. > :14:16.tell landlines from cellphones. It is unintentional. If I was caught
:14:17. > :14:20.three times per day and I'd did not want it, I would call and say please
