seen across the United States a couple of hours ago, in ABC World

:00:00.:00:00.

News with David Muir. Tonight, the breaking development

:00:00.:00:20.

doctors revealing they are testing a patient in New York City right now.

:00:21.:00:24.

The heightened alert across the country, learning of half a dozen

:00:25.:00:28.

patients tested at home. We have seen the image of the American

:00:29.:00:32.

doctor infected, back home and walking into a hospital. We now know

:00:33.:00:35.

about the secret drug given to him. The frantic search, pounding on

:00:36.:00:39.

Windows, buried in the mud. The summer camps around it. Now,

:00:40.:00:45.

tropical cyclones swirling. `` surrounded. And, what we are

:00:46.:00:51.

learning about passenger jets and the near misses with drones, pilot

:00:52.:00:56.

scrambling. And, the stunning hospital visit. That is Taylor

:00:57.:01:00.

Swift, and a little boy on the left. You are about to hear a duet she

:01:01.:01:04.

will never forget. We begin with the extreme caution

:01:05.:01:19.

across this country tonight, doctors in emergency rooms on the lookout

:01:20.:01:24.

for a bowler. Tonight, we have learnt that one person is being

:01:25.:01:28.

tested in New York City after having travelled to the region. That person

:01:29.:01:33.

is in isolation. The CDC is telling our. Tonight but since the outbreak

:01:34.:01:40.

again, about half a dozen patients have been tested in America. There

:01:41.:01:42.

is also news about the experimental drug used to treat the American

:01:43.:01:48.

doctor infected and back in the US. He is showing signs of improvement,

:01:49.:01:51.

communicating with his wife through a glass window. He surprised

:01:52.:01:56.

everyone when he was seen walking out of the ambulance into the

:01:57.:02:03.

hospital. While physicians in Atlanta fight to

:02:04.:02:08.

save the life of this stock, administrators at Mount Sinai

:02:09.:02:12.

Hospital in New York shared late today that they may to have a

:02:13.:02:17.

patient sick with a bowler. `` too. He walked into their hospital room

:02:18.:02:22.

with a fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. He recently travelled to a

:02:23.:02:29.

West African country. We see people with symptoms like that all the

:02:30.:02:33.

time, but not people who have travelled to West African countries.

:02:34.:02:39.

With those two things together, that would raise their level of concern.

:02:40.:02:45.

Only 40% of Ebola patients survive, and the Atlanta doctors treating

:02:46.:02:50.

this man hope he will be one of them. He arrived on Saturday,

:02:51.:02:54.

climbing from this ambulance in a bio suit. He has been taking an

:02:55.:02:59.

experimental drug that his missionary organisation tells us is

:03:00.:03:03.

working wonders, after he was on the brink of death. Today we have

:03:04.:03:07.

learned his fever is lower. The 33`year`old doctor has just `` had

:03:08.:03:14.

just moved his family to Liberia. He and others at his field hospital

:03:15.:03:17.

were infected by someone who was sick on their cleaning crew. This

:03:18.:03:23.

woman helped decontaminate doctors, and she also got sick. She is on a

:03:24.:03:27.

flight to Atlanta tonight in a specially outfitted transport. She

:03:28.:03:33.

received a dose of the experimental drug, and her condition is

:03:34.:03:37.

improving. She is able to walk around, there are some signs of

:03:38.:03:44.

strengthening. We saw the ambulance that will drive her to the hospital,

:03:45.:03:48.

scoured down after paramedics after moving the doctor on Saturday. The

:03:49.:03:54.

bleach I am smelling is because we are dealing with Ebola. They will

:03:55.:04:00.

throw away or burn protective covers or blankets used in sight. All be

:04:01.:04:06.

great and blankets we use will be incinerated. The disease has already

:04:07.:04:14.

killed over 900 people. A sick person flew from Liberia to Nigeria,

:04:15.:04:17.

and now the doctor who treated him is also sick. Tonight, the doctor's

:04:18.:04:24.

wife is with him in Atlanta, and she has to speak with him through a

:04:25.:04:26.

phone. Doctor, you are telling me that he

:04:27.:04:38.

spoke to the CDC today. They revealed they have tested half a

:04:39.:04:40.

dozen patients around the country. They had all travelled to that hot

:04:41.:04:46.

zone? They had all travelled there, and they had symptoms consistent

:04:47.:04:50.

with Ebola. That is exactly what we want to see, this testing. There

:04:51.:04:58.

have been so many viewer questions. One viewer asked what was in the

:04:59.:05:11.

experimental drugs. It is so encouraging he is getting better,

:05:12.:05:14.

that drug has never been tested on humans. It is so encouraging that he

:05:15.:05:18.

is getting better. Another question...

:05:19.:05:23.

Because you can have this virus in your blood without showing any signs

:05:24.:05:31.

for weeks, we are going to see isolated cases. But if we are

:05:32.:05:36.

vigilant we won't see it spread. To totally knocked out we have to get

:05:37.:05:40.

together in the world and knock it out in West Africa.

:05:41.:05:47.

These dramatic pictures captured during a deadly mudslide. Thousands

:05:48.:05:52.

of people stranded by giant flows of mud. That is a van completely

:05:53.:05:58.

swallowed. No one was hurt in that case. Look at this car, flipped

:05:59.:06:02.

upside down after being swept away by might and rain. Tonight, more

:06:03.:06:12.

danger on the way. Raging floodwaters turning streets

:06:13.:06:17.

into rivers. The thick mud rolling down Southern California

:06:18.:06:21.

mountainsides, with little time to escape. Cars washed away in an

:06:22.:06:27.

instant, rescue teams rushed to search for signs of life. Using a

:06:28.:06:31.

tool to break the window, they gain access and check inside. That one

:06:32.:06:36.

second of relief followed by tragedy. Just 50 miles away, this

:06:37.:06:43.

man was killed. His car was also swept away, into a creek. Tonight,

:06:44.:06:52.

this family are continuing home `` returning home one day after getting

:06:53.:06:55.

married, to find their home swallowed in mud, and their dogs

:06:56.:07:02.

buried. We are now realising they are gone. At one point, 2500 people

:07:03.:07:08.

were stranded by a wall of mind, including dozens of campers. Rescue

:07:09.:07:16.

crews believe at least 80 homes are damaged by the storm, water that is

:07:17.:07:19.

desperately needed elsewhere in the state. Firefighters battling more

:07:20.:07:23.

than a dozen fires currently burning in California. More than 100 square

:07:24.:07:29.

miles burn in Northern California, at least eight homes destroyed and

:07:30.:07:34.

more than 700 threatened. The cleanup is now under way, with

:07:35.:07:38.

these large rocks and powerlines, it is a process that could take several

:07:39.:07:40.

days. More flooding in the east, in Naples

:07:41.:07:53.

Florida, heavy thunderstorms have caused flooding. In some places more

:07:54.:07:56.

than five inches of rain in 1.5 hours. Our chorus has been tracking

:07:57.:08:02.

it. Rain on both sides of the country `` correspondent. The

:08:03.:08:07.

wettest August day on record for that city. But five states out west,

:08:08.:08:12.

a flash flood threat. Anywhere you see covered in aqua, a lot of

:08:13.:08:17.

Foakes, have to be on the lookout for two inch rainfall. `` folks. And

:08:18.:08:26.

all day long you are tracking these hurricanes on both sides of the

:08:27.:08:31.

country. We actually have a major category for, polio right behind

:08:32.:08:56.

it, a set on the way. `` Julio. We seen this kind of hurricanes in

:08:57.:09:07.

1992, in two dates. Their water was

:09:08.:09:10.

contaminated by green sludge. Tonight they are drinking the water

:09:11.:09:15.

again, but experts tell us they are not the only community dealing with

:09:16.:09:18.

this. Up to 40 states ripe for outbreaks. Tonight, the people of

:09:19.:09:27.

Toledo turned on their taps and drink the water for the first time

:09:28.:09:32.

in more than 50 hours. Taste good. Washing dishes and even brushing

:09:33.:09:38.

their teeth without having to worry about getting sick. My appreciation

:09:39.:09:42.

for water has jumped tenfold. I never realised how much water used

:09:43.:09:49.

during the day. A state of emergency in place in Saturday when 400,000

:09:50.:09:53.

residents were ordered not to drink the water. Our water is safe. And

:09:54.:09:58.

there is now trying to ease fears. Today we headed out to meet the

:09:59.:10:04.

chief culprit, these algae blooms, the suspected source of those toxins

:10:05.:10:12.

in the water. This green sludge is affect in lakes across the country.

:10:13.:10:15.

According to the National wildlife Federation, 40 states across the

:10:16.:10:21.

nation have reported back with outbreaks of toxic allergy. It is

:10:22.:10:26.

being caused by farm run`off, human sewage from stormwater in cities,

:10:27.:10:31.

and made worse by climate change. Greater rain and snow is falling.

:10:32.:10:37.

Experts say new farming techniques are needed to keep fertiliser on

:10:38.:10:43.

field and not spilling into the water surprise Koreas supply. This

:10:44.:10:48.

crisis has been a huge wake`up call `` water supply. In the meantime

:10:49.:10:53.

they hope for some rain to help rake up that algae. Next, a case being

:10:54.:10:56.

closely watched this evening across the country. A Michigan homeowner on

:10:57.:11:00.

trial for killing an unarmed teenager who showed up on his front

:11:01.:11:04.

porch in the middle of the night looking for help. He feared

:11:05.:11:09.

otherwise. This is the front door in a typical American neighbourhood

:11:10.:11:13.

where it all played out. Today the homeowner was in court explaining

:11:14.:11:25.

himself. So devastating. This poor girl, she had her whole life in

:11:26.:11:33.

front of her. I took that from her. 55`year`old Theodore, wiping tears

:11:34.:11:39.

from his eyes, as he testified in his own defence about shooting and

:11:40.:11:44.

killing a 19`year`old on the porch of his suburban Detroit home in

:11:45.:11:47.

November of last year. Why did you kill her? A total reflects reaction,

:11:48.:11:56.

defending myself. He has been charged with second`degree murder,

:11:57.:12:00.

prosecutor saying he shot her through the face through a closed

:12:01.:12:05.

and locked door after witnesses sheet she was disoriented following

:12:06.:12:09.

a car crash. He has pleaded not guilty, the racially charged case

:12:10.:12:15.

for some drawing similarities with the Trayvon Martin case. I wasn't

:12:16.:12:23.

going to cower in my house, I didn't want to be a victim. Do you remember

:12:24.:12:30.

crying within 2.5 or three hours of shooting her? No, I don't think so.

:12:31.:12:41.

You didn't cry, right? No, I don't think so. At will the jury believe

:12:42.:12:47.

him? If convicted he could face life in prison. `` but will the jury

:12:48.:12:56.

believe him? A possible breakthrough, both Israelis and

:12:57.:13:01.

Palestinians accepting a plan from Egypt to negotiate a long`term

:13:02.:13:05.

truce. As we have seen, other ceasefires have failed. Just today,

:13:06.:13:10.

the battle moved into Jerusalem, where a Palestinian man rammed a

:13:11.:13:14.

bus, killing a pedestrian. A short time later, a Palestinian on a

:13:15.:13:18.

motorcycle shot a policeman and then got away. More ahead on World News

:13:19.:13:25.

on Monday night. The scare in the sky just now being revealed, what we

:13:26.:13:29.

learnt late today at a passenger jets over some of the busiest cities

:13:30.:13:31.

in America, dodging drones. Pilots scrambling. Two passengers have any

:13:32.:13:37.

idea? And a surprise visit from Taylor Swift, in a duet this little

:13:38.:13:43.

hear it for yourself in a moment. hear it for yourself in a moment.

:13:44.:14:32.

Next night to an ABC news exclusive. Passenger jets dodging drones.

:14:33.:14:39.

Pilots scrambling to avoid them. Our correspondent got answers. Tonight,

:14:40.:14:42.

news that more of these type of drones had got close to passenger

:14:43.:14:46.

jet liners in the New York area, forcing evasive action by some

:14:47.:14:50.

pilots. A senior aviation source tells ABC News that in the past 30

:14:51.:14:54.

days, there has been an increase in incidence. One in just the past 48

:14:55.:15:00.

hours. In two of those incidents, the source tells us, the pilots have

:15:01.:15:04.

turned their aircraft away, worried about possible collision with the

:15:05.:15:08.

unmanned drones. We have heard these concerns before. A pilot on approach

:15:09.:15:13.

to JFK reported a close call. We just saw a little own. To worry is

:15:14.:15:20.

that these small drones could do big damage to jet liners filled with

:15:21.:15:24.

passengers. The biggest worry is it could be ingested by a jet engine at

:15:25.:15:29.

high power on take for instance, and shut the engine down. In a

:15:30.:15:35.

statement, we heard there was a small increase in the number of

:15:36.:15:38.

drones incidents in New York possibly due to increased awareness.

:15:39.:15:42.

Agency encourages pilots to report these close calls. Our aviation

:15:43.:15:46.

source says that as of Friday, controllers have been asked to make

:15:47.:15:51.

a specific report each time a drone gets close to a jet. We heard that

:15:52.:15:55.

reports have varied, from observations by pilot to actual

:15:56.:15:59.

evasive action, all of this as the FAA considers rules for the

:16:00.:16:01.

explosion of inexpensive flying aircraft, which can reach far into

:16:02.:16:06.

the sky, like the one which flew by the Space Needle, or the one which

:16:07.:16:10.

flew into a New York building, fell, and hit a pedestrian. The FAA will

:16:11.:16:15.

have to work harder and faster to get these rules written. The area

:16:16.:16:20.

has been called the wild West for drones. And new rules either FAA are

:16:21.:16:24.

not expected until the end of the year. Our instant index, 53 candles

on President Obama's birthday cake. Back when he was running for

:16:31.:16:35.

president in 2008, and six years later, wearing the weight of the

:16:36.:16:39.

office of little bit. Happy birthday, Mr President. And a very

:16:40.:16:45.

special duet at Boston's Jordan's Hospital. We are never, ever, ever,

:16:46.:16:52.

getting back together. `` Boston's children's Hospital. The secure of

:17:11.:17:15.

Brady was 73. You will remember those frantic moments, his life

:17:16.:17:20.

forever changed in that attack on President Reagan. Tonight, our chief

:17:21.:17:24.

White House correspondent on a man who turned tragedy into a lifelong

:17:25.:17:29.

mission. Nancy Reagan had reportedly said she wanted a young, handsome

:17:30.:17:33.

press secretary to represent her husband on TV. She got the six foot

:17:34.:17:41.

one, ?250, mostly bald, James Brady. 40 years old, nicknamed the bare,

:17:42.:17:45.

and is known above all for his sense of humour `` 250 pound. He had been

:17:46.:17:52.

press secretary for just 69 days when those shots rang out in 1981,

:17:53.:17:58.

one bullet striking Reagan in the chest. Another penetrating ready's

:17:59.:18:03.

skull. He was presumed dead. We are being told that Jim Brady has passed

:18:04.:18:09.

away. He survived, making his first appearance more than seven months

:18:10.:18:12.

later, partially paralysed, in near constant pain, and for a while,

:18:13.:18:16.

barely able to talk. Aurally it's the right thing to do. He dedicated

:18:17.:18:22.

the rest of his life to fighting gun violence. 12 years after he was

:18:23.:18:26.

shot, Congress passed the Brady will, requiring waiting periods and

:18:27.:18:32.

background checks for all handgun purchases `` Brady Bill. The area

:18:33.:18:40.

where he had held court was dubbed the games ready press briefing room.

:18:41.:18:45.

We hope to see you back here tomorrow for Diane and all of us.

Hi there. Basking in some warm sunshine across eastern England.
