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 | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
Tonight, crisis and Ferguson in the Surry. Multiple wounds after | :00:16. | :00:32. | |
teenager was shot. In Iraq, militants are battling for control | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
of a dam. And a rescue of a baby girl in a car. | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
In Ferguson Missouri, the National Guard. We have coverage. Steve has | :00:53. | :01:17. | |
been there every night. He has the latest. Let us not forget that at | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
the height of the unrest is what happened between these two people. | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
This is a young police officer recognised for his excellent service | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
and eat young black man that was about to start college. `` a young. | :01:36. | :01:46. | |
Today, the National Guard is coming in. President Obama says | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
that the troops do not make it worse. I will be there to assess | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
whether this is helping rather than hindering. This is after grenades | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
and `` tear gas. Molotov cocktails were | :01:59. | :02:17. | |
thrown at police. They attempted to disperse the crowd. Police captain | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
is beyond frustrated. The church gathering, he talks unless he was | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
not the enemy. `` he told families. When this is over, I agree to go in | :02:35. | :02:46. | |
my son 's room. The police have arrested 50 people. Most of the | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
drama is unfolding. Results of the autopsy coming in. The preliminary | :02:57. | :03:08. | |
autopsy shows at least six shots. It could be more. Brown was shot as he | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
was facing the officer. The gun was at least one or two feet away. It | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
could have been 30 feet away and it would have been the same thing. He | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
was killed by the bullet that struck the top of his head. There is a | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
curfew and families are bracing for the worst. A flight restriction | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
remains in place. There are gunshots that were fired in the air. I want | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
to go back to the news of the autopsy. It showed six shots. Six | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
shots. The lawyers say that that is enough judges. The young man was six | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
foot four. One of the shots at the top of the head and they say the | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
only way that could have happened was that he was on the ground | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
surrendering. Earlier today, Michael Brunt's mother spoke exclusively to | :04:20. | :04:31. | |
the Good Morning America anchor. I know that you and the family have | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
distanced yourself from the violence. That takes away from the | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
investigation being focused on your son. How can they be restored? `` | :04:42. | :04:54. | |
peace be. Justice. What is justice to you? In fair. I raised this man. | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
I want to see him made accountable for his actions. What about | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
accountability and motive? We see how the case could turn. Tonight, we | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
are learning that the grand jury could see evidence as soon as | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Wednesday about what happened at the moment when Michael Brown and Darren | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Wilson came face to face. So much about the night is murky. What is | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
not in dispute is that Brown was walking in the street. She was with | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
a friend. The officer pulled up in his squad car. What happened next | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
will be key as to whether Wilson will face jail time. There was a | :05:44. | :05:56. | |
struggle over the officer's weapon. Police say that was and had bruises | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
on his face. Witnesses have a different story. When he came up he | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
said get the hell off the sidewalk. He was trying to get away and the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
cop was tried to pull him in. It is unclear what happened with the | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
officer got out of the vehicle will stop some witnesses say that Brown | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
was trying to get away. He stopped and he put his hands up. He was shot | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
repeatedly. If Michael Brown was running away is supposed to | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
confronting the officer, that makes a huge difference. It certainly | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
does. It would be hard to see a justification is, as some of the | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
witnesses say, he had his hands up. Officer Wilson is in hiding tonight. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
It remains to be seen whether yes you defend his actions in a | :06:53. | 3:58:43 | |
courtroom. `` he has to. To a story about Iraq. The battle of the most | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
dangerous dam. Our correspondent heads there now. We went to the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
battlefield. We walked over a road that two days ago was under ISIS | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
control. That is to be the front line. Not any more. Today with the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Brad Day `` today was a rare day of defeat. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
The control of the Mosul Dam was taken by Kurdish and Iraqi fighters. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
One of the leaders said they could not have taken it without American | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
help. This is one of the airstrikes which helped Kurdish forces pushed | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
back the fighters. They are now away from the roots and away from the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Mosul Dam. `` roads. The issue with the dam was that it could be used to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
flood Baghdad. Up to 500,000 could have been killed. We surveyed the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
field and there was smoke from airstrikes in the distance. It was | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
also a deadly threat left behind. There were holes along the roadside | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
where ISIS had implanted IEDs. It was a welcome victory against ISIS, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
but there is a long journey get ahead. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
At home, an emotional reunion for the American missionary battling a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
bowler in a hospital. She was reunited with her husband, who had | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
also been under quarantine. They place their hands on opposite sides | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
of the isolation room glass and pray together over the intercom. Both of | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
them were moved to tears. She is said to be getting stronger every | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
day. A familiar name back in the headlines. Julian Assange, the man | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
behind the avalanche of leaks from government documents that became | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
known as WikiLeaks. For more than two years, he has been in hiding, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
living in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, avoiding extradition. Today, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
pale after a life rarely in the sun, he indicated he may soon be | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
ready to leave. A move that could mean arrest. Back here at home in | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Texas. A kind of high noon for Rick Perry, facing an indictment but | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
defiant today. Our reporter gives us perspective on the showdown tonight. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
This jailhouse video of a drug Austin, Texas district attorney is | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the cornerstone of the Rick Perry defence against felony charges he | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
abused his power and tried to coerce that DA, Rosemary Lindberg, to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
design, by trying to cut the integrity unit budget she controlled | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
by $70 million. She was convicted and jailed for nearly a month. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Despite the embarrassment, Dee Why is a misdemeanour, allowing her to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
stay in office. The defence team played the tape again for reporters | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
today. On radio late this afternoon, the governor vowed to expose what he | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
called a farce. It involved the assistant to the special prosecutor, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
and the prosecutor himself, who are appointed offices. Rick Perry will | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
surrender at the County jail, where he will be fingerprinted and have a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
mugshot taken like any other prisoner. He said he was just doing | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
his job when he vetoed the money during the investigation into public | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
money. Critics know that in his career, two other officials were | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
arrested for Dee Why. I am here to defend the Governor `` DUI. He said | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
he was leading an investigation into one of the Governor's pet issues. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
The special prosecutor contends it was that it that went beyond the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
line of hard`boiled politics, and ventured into criminal behaviour. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Next, a note about your money tonight. A shot of adrenaline into | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Wall Street, which was supercharged. The Dow Jones shot up 175 points. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
The NASDAQ hitting a 14 year high. That is thanks to the hope that the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
conflict in Ukraine could be easing. We go now to a startling robbery in | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Paris. The wealthy Saudi Prince, his motorcade ambushed by gunmen who | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
made off with $300,000 in cash. Not your ordinary pocket money for a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
trip. Notorious for their opulence. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Expensive cars, fancy yachts, and palatial residences. The Saudi | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
princes now targeted. The prince was driving in a convoy, leaving a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
luxury hotel in Paris. A gang of thieves in two BMWs, heavily armed, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
flashed their guns and forced a convoy to stop. They grabbed the car | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
with all the money, taking more than $300,000 in cash as well as | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
sensitive embassy documents. Then, driving off with it. For people who | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
travel in cars like these, carrying large sums of money is not so crazy. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
One diplomatic source told me that Saudis often pay their staff in | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
cash. Later on, police found a burnt out remains of the car. No one was | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
hurt. For now, they are not saying which prince was targeted or what | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
leads they have. Only that they suspected was work of recessional is | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
and perhaps an inside job. `` professionals. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
A car on the highway engulfed in flames, how a truck driver saved him | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
woman and child while others drove by. On the tape we are seeing off | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the first time of Robin Williams doing what he does best, helping a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
stranger to fight sadness with a smile. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Next, a stranger to the rescue. The quick thinking truck driver who | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
jumped in to save a grandmother and baby girl trapped inside a burning | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
car on the highway. Cover drive is steered around the smoke and flames, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
but one man ran towards them. `` other drivers. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
An inferno on the interstate. A Lincoln town car failing to yield | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
while merging onto the freeway in Mississippi last week, losing | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
control in 70 mile an hour traffic, colliding with an 18 wheeler, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
trapping the passengers inside a raging fire. It looked hopeless. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Trucker David Fredrikson captured the crash on his dash cam and | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
immediately sprang into action. Aiming first at the trunk, he was | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
able to calm the flames. I started to notice that there was a lady in | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the front seat, and she was kicking the door. I reached over and pulled | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the door open, and that is when I saw the one`year`old girl in the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
back seat. It was very smoky, so I went ahead it opened the door and | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
grabbed her and handed her to my codriver. First, he carries the baby | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
to safety, then are the good Samaritans joined the rescue. Watch | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the man in the white shirt taking the 51`year`old woman away. That | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
fire so devastating that left nothing but charred metal behind. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
The driver of the 18 wheeler was devastated by the crash. It hits you | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
that you are lucky to be here. Miraculously, police say the woman | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
and toddler suffered only minor injuries. Fredrikson came to their | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
aid two minutes before first responders arrived. Life saving | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
time. We were glad to be there to assist so they could see tomorrow. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Thanks to a moment of courage. Tonight, a case of sticker shock for | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
the American family. The new cost of raising a child Cory middle income | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
family, more than $245,000 to the age of 18. A new government report | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
shows it is up almost 2%. It includes food, housing, child care | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
and education through high school. The report finds that the more | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
children you have the cheaper the cost, because children can share | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
clothing, toys and bedrooms. And, prove you never know what lies | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
beneath. A close encounter for a jet ski off Iceland. He and his friend | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
were speeding along, when suddenly in his path a spree of seawater and | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
a dark blob. A humpback whale. The two friends were not hurt, and | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
neither was the whale. A special tribute for one of our own. At the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
White House press conference, the President saved the best till last. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
In this case, someone who has been the heart and soul at ABC News. I'm | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
going to take the last question from somebody who after 41 years has | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
decided to retire. And Compton, everybody here knows is not only the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
consummate professional, but is also a pleasure to get to know. We will | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
miss you. Finally tonight, a week ago all of us learned about the | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
death of Robin Williams. Tonight, we have a newly released tape, proving | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
that he was the kind of man who tried to keep the music playing for | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
others no matter the suffering in his own heart. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
In the movie Patch Adams, his character used humour to treat | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
patients. Full Robin Williams, it was more than just a roll, it was a | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
way of life. He was well publicised that he gave his time and talent to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
service men and women, that only a few new like moments like this. Hi | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Vyvyan, it is Robin Williams, saying hey there, what is going on in New | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
Zealand? The family of a 21`year`old woman in a hospital in New Zealand, | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
is coming forward that back in March, Robin Williams fulfilled one | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
of her dying wishes. Sending all my love to you, Jack and Sophie, mark | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
this off your bucket list. They will never forget. He said, I am here to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
you, and they do this comedy thing so I can do my day job, which is | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
making people feel better. He was diagnosed with an aggressive | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
cancer. When he reached out to Robin Williams for autographed memorabilia | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
for fundraising, he did that and then some. I wish there was a way to | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
be there for him when he needed folks. Through one of the charitable | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
causes he worked with for more than 25 years, he was able to grant | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
dozens of wishes. Much loved to you, baby. For abused `` many people, he | 3:58:44 | 3:58:43 | |
did only give them laughs, he gave them comfort. | 3:58:44 | 3:58:44 |
