like currency and the economy which will decide this referendum. Time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
now for a look at the news as seen across the United States a couple of | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
hours ago, in ABC World News. Is the US getting ready to launch air | :00:14. | :00:23. | |
strikes against militants in Iraq? By hurricane about to slam into | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Hawaii, the first hit in more than 20 years. And another hurricane | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
right behind it. Windows boarded and tourists stranded tonight. The | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
moment at that front door. The man who shot a young woman through the | :00:39. | :00:46. | |
door. He said he was frightened. She was looking for help. And look at | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
this video. So many have seen this animal in the neighbourhood. Is it | :00:52. | :01:14. | |
for real? Good evening. Tonight, we have learned the US military is | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
poised and ready to strike against militants in Iraq. A US humanitarian | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
aid mission is already under way, the US working to get supplies to | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
families on the ground in Iraq, families trapped with no food and | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
water in the mountains of northern Iraq. US planes have been flying | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
low, with military protection at the moment. Today, the president spoke | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
of the real dangers and risks involved in flying over a hostile | :01:47. | :01:56. | |
region. Thank you for joining us. Good evening. If the president | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
decides Americans are under threat in Iraq, the US military is ready to | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
strike. Militant fighters are on the move, taking over key parts of the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
country, parts where Americans could be in danger. Tonight, American | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
military strikes are a very real option. Those militant fighters are | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
taking control of Iraq and are now threatening the capital of the | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Kurdish region, where America has a key outpost with military | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
consultants and a consulate. If the militants threatened, a US official | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
says that the US is ready to strike. Tonight, a humanitarian mission is | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
already under way. Three cargo jets are tonight dropping critical aid, | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
food and water. It is a race to stop a catastrophe. At least 10,000 | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
people, families who have fled the top of a mountain, now collapsing | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
from blistering heat pleading that there is no water, no bread. Nearly | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
20 children have already died. They are trapped on top of this mountain | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
3000 feet up with no escape because down below, Islamic State | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
terrorists have taken over their homes, warning of slaughter if they | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
return. It is barbaric and stuffs `` disgusting. We are seeing religious | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
and ethnic minorities persecuted because of their identities. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Dropping food, water and medicine into this hostel environment is a | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
complicated and dangerous mission. `` hostile stop Islamic State | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
fighters have surface`to`air missiles and other firepower. We | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
have to go in low and slow because we will push the supplies out of the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
back of the aeroplane. Beyond threatening that key city, Islamic | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
State has taken control of the largest dam in the country, the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
source of elected city and water. The US military is watching all of | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
this extremely closely and has all of the necessary warplanes in place | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
if needed, which could put the US right back in a combat role in a war | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
the President Ford had ended. Thank you. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
You could almost `` the president had thought had ended. Thank you. It | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
was weighing heavily on the president today. The terrorist | :04:26. | :04:40. | |
threat to the city of Erbil. It is strategically important and there | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
are American personnel there as well as a US consulate. When there was | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
trouble in Baghdad two months ago, the US took those diplomats out of | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Baghdad and put them in Erbil because it was considered safe. The | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
president says protecting American personnel overseas is his top | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
priority. That may mean he will have to do what he has long avoided | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
doing, which is calling in military airstrikes in Iraq. A giant | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
hurricane is barrelling towards Hawaii and will kick in the coming | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
hours. And behind it, another hurricane. Nearly 800,000 Americans | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
are in the past. Hawaii has not had a direct hit in 22 years and now two | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
of them. On the ground, people are bracing for impact. The shops are | :05:35. | :05:49. | |
empty and bottled water is all gone. There is a state of emergency | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
tonight. They are closing the beaches and we are already seeing | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
wind up to 25 mph. The weather is about to take a dramatic turn for | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
the worst. Tonight, the hurricane is packing powerful winds, myself and | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
heavy rains, all aimed right at Paradise. Not one but two hurricanes | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
bear down on Hawaii. Schools are closing and shelters opening. The | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Governor has the National Guard on alert. We are prepared for immediate | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
response and have resources in place. For these holidaymakers from | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
Seattle, the timing could not be worse. We are getting married on | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Saturday. The plan is to be married on the beach at sunset. Across | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Hawaii, they are scrambling to get ready. Plywood across Windows. Long | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
lines for gas and supplies like bottled water has already sold out. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
We have three five gallon drums that are empty. These shop workers have | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
been forced to improvise in the absence of sandbags. They were all | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
sold out. We have to use duct tape. We hope it will slow the water down. | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
They say their wedding will happen, even if the ceremony gets moved to | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
the hotel lobby. It will not be a problem. These hurricanes are our | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
best man and our bridesmaid. After the first hurricane, the second one | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
will strike a glancing blow in the next few hours. We are told it has | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
never happened before. Thank you. 22 years since they hurricane and now | :07:36. | :07:53. | |
not one but two. Yes. Iselle is the first and Julio is coming behind. | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
Iselle is stronger than Julio. We thought it was interesting to look | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
at the topography and the two volcanoes. From midnight local time, | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
the wind will reach 58 mph across much of the island. That is why we | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
have a hurricane Island on the big Island and tropical storm warnings | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
back off to the west. The biggest impact will be flash flooding, | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
mudslides and rain as well as some of those wind gusts. Rain could | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
reach up to 25 feet. Meanwhile some pictures out of Illinois. They got a | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
lot of rain very quickly and some flash flooding. More details in a | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
moment. This system moved in and to the east. Be on the look out. One | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
more weather headline this evening, and this one in the west. A wildfire | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
in Oregon. Firefighters say they will work through the evening. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Hundreds of families have been forced to flee. This picture was | :09:00. | :09:08. | |
taken six miles away. Now, the deadly Ebola outbreak and an | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
exclusive report. We are hearing from a group of American students | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
stuck in the hot zone. Their parents are waiting for them to board | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
flights in the US. They have not been able to do so. Their flights | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
have been cancelled. Authorities are still trying to contain the growing | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
outbreak. Tonight, we hear from those students, who have a message | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
for their parents. In this exclusive interview, we | :09:31. | :09:46. | |
reached the student studying in Liberia, and now stranded in the | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
danger zone after flights to the region were suspended. I personally | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
would like everyone to know that we are safe. We are safe and we are | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
healthy. They want to come home now. They have talked their parents | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
into remaining calm, and are working with British Airways to fly home | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
through Ghana before school starts on August 20. Until then they are | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
staying inside. Have you all been tested, by any chance, for Ebola? We | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
have not been in contact with anyone who has been tracking Ebola, so | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
everyone is completely safe. And we are also taking preventative | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
measures such as carrying around hand sanitiser and washing our hands | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
frequently. Out side their circle of safety there is fear and thousands | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
of deaths. So`called sanitation stations are just buckets and hand | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
sanitiser. In the middle of the Street, a man believed to be secret | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Ebola. It took authorities five hours to get him help. A husband of | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
one of the sick missionaries rescued this week. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
US health officials told Congress today they are sending in more | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
workers, saying the best defence here at home is a good offence in | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
Africa. The CDC says six people in the US have been tested for Ebola. I | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
walked into emergency rooms with what looked like symptoms. All | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
results have come back negative. And now to the breaking headline out of | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Detroit late today. A verdict, all of this entering around what really | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
happened on one man's front porch. He shot a young woman who had come | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
to his door, prosecutors say, looking for help. Prosecutors didn't | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
agree, and he told the court he pleaded with his life. `` count one, | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
murder in the second degree. Guilty of murder in the second degree. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
After only eight hours of deliberations, the defendant was | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
found guilty, choosing her through his screen door as she stood on his | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
front porch in the middle of the night. Afterwards, the defendant was | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
stoical, the Vic's mother was brimming with emotion, hugging | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
prosecutors. In a case that for some drew comparisons to the George | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Zimmermann case, a white shooter killing a black team, prosecutors | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
argued McBryde was injured from a nearby car accident, and that | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Theodore Wafer was looking for trouble. And blew her face off. I | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
just shot somebody on my front porch with a shotgun, banging on my door. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
The defence claimed Theodore Wafer, frightened by McBride, hadn't no | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
choice but to act. `` had no choice but to act. And on the stand, | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
Theodore Wafer was that fast in his explanation. I wasn't going to cower | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
in my house. I didn't want to be a victim. And now, as one man sits in | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
prison, a family feeling vindicated. Justice was served today. Theodore | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Wafer will be back in this courthouse on August 21 to face | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
sentencing, at that time he could be sentenced to life in prison. And now | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
to the deadly accident on the water making headlines tonight. Four high | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
school friends, one of them at the wheel of a speedboat, pulling an | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
inner tube, when it unthinkable happened. This evening, a life cut | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
short, and it is raising questions about how little it takes to be | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
allowed to run a boat. It is every family's worst nightmare on a boat. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
16`year`old Emily and her high school friend thrown from their | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
tubes. Boat turned to pick them up, but collided with them instead, | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
killing one and seriously injuring another. She was a great, funny | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
girl. We miss her. It is a big loss to our community. Officials we | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
talked to on the water said the problem is lack of experience. For a | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
licence, you just need to pass a multiple`choice exam, it is pretty | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
simple. That is all you need to drive a boat. Unlike a drivers | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
license for a car, laws to drive a boat are more lenient. Several | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
states require no certification at all. In Connecticut, certification | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
is required, and the driver had it, but there is no minimum age for | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
getting it, and class can be as little as one date. One of the girls | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
on the boat tweeted this. Still can't believe what I witnessed | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
today. You will never leave my heart, and I will miss you for ever. | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
As you can imagine, the community here is still in shock. A second | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
girl remains in the hospital, in a stable condition. There is still | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
much more ahead on World News this is a night. Have you ever gone | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
online to leave a bad comment about a business? What happens when they | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
see it? Can they really fine you for a bad review? And have you seen | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
this? Is that really about standing toll? Our correspondent in that | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
neighbourhood, and what he found, what do you think? `` standing tall. | :15:17. | :16:02. | |
Next tonight: if you have ever posted a bad comment about the | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
business online, and they see it, can they really fine you for that | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
unkind review? Here is Rebecca Jarvis. When Robbie checked into his | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
hotel in upstate New York a wedding, he did not expect this. It's not | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
bad, we kept a windows open for the entire time we were there. So he | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
wrote a review on Yelp, and gave it just one staff. Then a surprise | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
landed in his inbox. The hotel e`mailing Robbie that his negative | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
review would cost just married couple $500. Fine print. The bride | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
and groom had apparently missed it when they signed their contract. And | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
that language in contract is becoming more common. It is an | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
intimidation tactic that once discovered clearly gets shut down | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
right away. It backfires. The hotel's raising plummeted, with one | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
person calling it the worst hotel in history. On some levels you are what | :17:05. | :17:13. | |
your Yelp reviews say you are. 100%. In some cases businesses have even | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
taken the extreme step of suing reviewers. Yelp says Law is on the | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
side of the consumer. They have a right to express their opinion and | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
accurately and truthfully explained their experiences. The owner was not | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
available to speak, but he expressed embarrassment and regret, now | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
claiming the policy was a joke. If that was a joke, the reviewers | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
tonight are not laughing about it. While this under only in New York. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
Consumers in the `` commuters on the a train getting quite a surprise. | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
That is the cast of the Lion King on Broadway serenading the Sunday | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
writers, surprising them a few weeks back. That video is taking off | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
tonight. And there is a battle this evening over this monkey face that | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
went viral. Take a lot, so cute. The monkey snapped this selfie himself, | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
but the human who owns that camera says it is his. He says he owns that | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
copyright, and since the monkey took it, that is disputed. We wanted to | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
know whether this was the real deal. Our correspondent in the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
neighbourhood. See for yourself. That expert is not someone in a bear | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
suit, they say it really is a bear, standing on his hind legs and | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
walking as comfortably and smoothly as a human. It walks that a new, | :18:43. | :18:54. | |
Donna. He started to walk. `` venue. `` than you. That is up `` a bipedal | :18:55. | :19:13. | |
bear. In some areas are bare sighting is no big deal. But in | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
other areas less so. Local residents have nicknamed this bear Vinnie. It | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
turns out state wildlife officials have been monitoring Vinnie since | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
June. They say he is a juvenile, under three years old, and weighs | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
about ?250. He is walking upright as his front paws are injured. More | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
than likely it was a car accident. There is can walk on their hind legs | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
very well, but they choose not to. Officials say that there are and his | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
bare reference `` officials say the bear, and his bear brethren are not | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
a threat. He is said to be healing very nicely. It will take about a | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
month before he is fully recovered, but we are told that eventually he | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
will be back like any other bare roaming around here, at `` bear | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
roaming around here on all fours. Good night. | :20:13. | :20:24. | |
Good morning. Plenty of weather to talk about over the next few days. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
Keep watching the weather forecast if you've got outdoor plans. I | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
suspect, through today, we could see some heavy spells of rain, all due | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
to this area of low pressure moving into the extreme south`east. That is | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
where the heaviest of the rain will be. At the same time, close to that | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
low pressure in the north`west, plenty of sharp showers as well. So | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
yes, | :20:46. | :20:47. |
