Mike Embley is here in under half an hour. Time now for a look at the

:00:00.:00:00.

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

:00:00.:00:00.

World News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome. Rating news, and American

:00:07.:00:15.

apparently executed by ISIS `` breaking news. A searing video and

:00:16.:00:22.

challenge to the United States. Our correspondent studying each frame.

:00:23.:00:25.

At home, monsoon rain unleashes floods and a heroic rescue effort as

:00:26.:00:31.

a woman is pulled to safety with the water rushing over her car. And, one

:00:32.:00:36.

lesson in hope and believing in yourself. What is this coat said to

:00:37.:00:40.

his losing team that has everyone cheering tonight.

:00:41.:00:53.

Good evening to you on Tuesday. Rating news, today, a brutal video

:00:54.:01:00.

surfaced apparently showing an American journalist, a man from New

:01:01.:01:03.

Hampshire, executed, beheaded by members of ISIS `` breaking news.

:01:04.:01:10.

The images are too graphic to show an details are coming in. Our

:01:11.:01:12.

correspondent has the latest. He has seen the video. It is a chilling

:01:13.:01:18.

video and something no one will want to see. US authorities are studying

:01:19.:01:24.

the video posted late in the day. A White House spokesperson said that

:01:25.:01:28.

if it is genuine they are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent

:01:29.:01:33.

journalist. It appears to show the journalist James Foley on his knees

:01:34.:01:36.

with his executioner next to him, holding a knife. Foley disappeared

:01:37.:01:45.

about 21 months ago, in 2012, while on assignment. He was brave and

:01:46.:01:50.

daring, and was earlier held captive in Libya before heading to Syria to

:01:51.:01:53.

report on the brutality of the Syrian government. In the chilling

:01:54.:02:01.

video, he is forced to make a statement on the American bombing of

:02:02.:02:06.

Iraqi and then his executioner, speaking in English, with a British

:02:07.:02:10.

accent, addresses President Obama saying, the attacks by the US air

:02:11.:02:14.

force had resulted in the bloodshed of your people. The video shows the

:02:15.:02:18.

beheading of Foley, a disturbing scene.

:02:19.:02:24.

This is an apparent video that we are still checking on to ensure this

:02:25.:02:31.

is what it seems. As you say, apparently a retaliation for the

:02:32.:02:35.

bombing. That colleagues hold out some hope this is a fabrication. ``

:02:36.:02:42.

that is right. This is a mutant strain of violence from ISIS. I want

:02:43.:02:45.

to bring in our correspondent who is on the ground in Iraq.

:02:46.:02:53.

The people of Iraq and Syria have long known how brutal ISIS is and

:02:54.:02:56.

their goal has been to take this part of the world back to a level of

:02:57.:03:01.

savagery not seen since the Middle Ages. It is a way to declare who

:03:02.:03:10.

they are and how extreme jihadis they are. Defeating them will take a

:03:11.:03:14.

tremendous amount of effort. This is not a shadowy group of hijackers, it

:03:15.:03:22.

is well organised, well funded and well armed, stretching over two

:03:23.:03:26.

countries and governing a great deal of territory. They have the loyalty

:03:27.:03:32.

of many, many disenchanted Sunni Muslims and so defeating them will

:03:33.:03:37.

be a long`term project that will take a global effort, frankly. Thank

:03:38.:03:44.

you. We will keep you up`to`date on the authenticity of the video and

:03:45.:03:47.

also on what the response could be. We sure to check with us online. We

:03:48.:03:54.

move on next to the dangerous weather in the west, Phoenix

:03:55.:03:59.

underwater, highways flooded, families start, homes and cars no

:04:00.:04:05.

match for the water. Our meteorologist on the rescue is

:04:06.:04:11.

unfolding at this hour. `` rescues. Waving a sheet,

:04:12.:04:16.

desperate for help. Two people trapped in this home. Watch, the

:04:17.:04:22.

water climbs the walls, already off its foundation, the only thing

:04:23.:04:25.

keeping this house from washing away, that tree. One rescuer

:04:26.:04:31.

dangling from a chopper, landing on the roof, with the water receding so

:04:32.:04:35.

quickly that rescuers could walk the people and their dog out safely.

:04:36.:04:47.

Dangerous scenes I'm falling over the valley. One helicopter landing

:04:48.:04:58.

next to the turbulent water. At least one dozen rescues. ``

:04:59.:05:04.

unfolding. Five inches of rain in just hours. That swell of brown

:05:05.:05:09.

water on highways, rushing toward and cutting off traffic. You can

:05:10.:05:19.

hear it ploughing through. Erupting from a manhole. Even after the rain

:05:20.:05:24.

stops falling, the run of forces floods for hours with inches of my

:05:25.:05:29.

dictating the roads. Rain is falling tonight, look at the flashlight. ``

:05:30.:05:37.

inches of rain taking the roads. Those go through this evening. Look

:05:38.:05:40.

at this, head of the storms comes wind and the gusts rings dust

:05:41.:05:47.

visibility at this regional part down to zero, shutting it down for a

:05:48.:05:52.

time. Finally, thunderstorms already reported in south`east Michigan all

:05:53.:05:57.

the way down to it Kentucky. Here it comes. Thank you. As you know, a

:05:58.:06:04.

wildfire tears across parched earth 60 miles from a national treasure ``

:06:05.:06:09.

16. You Samiti national park. Families and tourists are on the

:06:10.:06:19.

move. Overnight, flames ripped through here so hot and fast that

:06:20.:06:24.

1000 people were ordered to get out with almost no warning. My wife

:06:25.:06:31.

happened to look out on the front of the house and there it is the

:06:32.:06:36.

cloud, towering above us. Hotels evacuated and tourists left on the

:06:37.:06:40.

street with their luggage. In many cases, walking to safety. This

:06:41.:06:44.

family were sleeping in a hotel lobby. There is no plan for this.

:06:45.:06:50.

Firefighters retreated for a short time overnight as this propane tank

:06:51.:06:54.

storage company called fine, raising fears of a massive blast, with a

:06:55.:07:01.

building lost, but the tanks stable. We are getting evacuated. This

:07:02.:07:05.

family still inside the zone are now packing up. They are worried they

:07:06.:07:10.

mightn't have anything to return to stop work the major thing is getting

:07:11.:07:13.

out safe but I hate to leave everything behind. This is

:07:14.:07:19.

everything. Local officials say they have been lucky so far, though they

:07:20.:07:22.

aren't taking chances. Hopefully they can stop it, because if they

:07:23.:07:29.

can't, this will all go. They lost eight structures, look at how hot it

:07:30.:07:37.

was. Aluminium from this car's wheel melted like spilt drink. Today, they

:07:38.:07:40.

believe they have a handle on this one.

:07:41.:07:47.

We hope so. Thank you. We turn to Ferguson, misery, where Michael

:07:48.:07:52.

Brown was gunned down in broad daylight and no one knows what the

:07:53.:07:56.

policeman says about why. We hear from someone close to the officer

:07:57.:08:00.

who is in hiding as the city braces for new protesting, violence and

:08:01.:08:03.

another police shooting has taken place. Our correspondent is there.

:08:04.:08:14.

With emotions on age, `` Edge, new and rest as protesters gather after

:08:15.:08:22.

police shot and killed a 23`year`old African`American man. It is crazy.

:08:23.:08:27.

Police said a man was a robbery suspect, screaming and waving a

:08:28.:08:31.

knife. We can all understand what is going on. Every police officer out

:08:32.:08:36.

here has a right to defend themselves and the community. The

:08:37.:08:41.

national guard is on the streets after a night that saw the most

:08:42.:08:45.

arrests since unarmed teenager Michael Brown was shot by Darren

:08:46.:08:51.

Wilson. Protesters and police again go head to head. This stark image,

:08:52.:08:56.

an intense flame after an officer fires teargas into a crowd and a

:08:57.:08:59.

woman helping one man who couldn't open his eyes after he was gassed. A

:09:00.:09:03.

small army in riot gear pushing protesters forward. Jail records

:09:04.:09:09.

reveal 78 people were arrested last night, twice the number reported.

:09:10.:09:14.

Police blamed outsiders. In the unrest. Only four arrested were from

:09:15.:09:20.

Ferguson, most from the area and 18 were from other states. Including

:09:21.:09:26.

New York, California and Illinois. People are waiting with teargas in

:09:27.:09:30.

the area, looted stores, rubber bullets on the ground, it makes them

:09:31.:09:35.

upset and angry. We learn more tonight about the officer, his good

:09:36.:09:41.

friend speaks out. I can tell he is struggling. This is hard on him. His

:09:42.:09:48.

friend is so concerned for his own safety that he asked us to conceal

:09:49.:09:52.

his face. He is a good person and people have immediately jumped to

:09:53.:09:56.

label him as a cold`blooded murderer. Wilson has already spoken

:09:57.:10:01.

with investigators and the grand jury will hear evidence tomorrow.

:10:02.:10:11.

Now to the news of a possible school attack in California thwarted by

:10:12.:10:20.

some watchful people. Two teenagers accused of plotting an attack on

:10:21.:10:26.

teachers and classmates, and quick thinking school officials may have

:10:27.:10:30.

saved lives. Police say it was a plan to kill as

:10:31.:10:33.

many people at their southern California high school as possible.

:10:34.:10:37.

There were no specific types of victims they were thinking of, they

:10:38.:10:41.

just wanted to kill people. Plan carefully crafted by two extend and

:10:42.:10:46.

17`year`old male students. Just days before the new school year started,

:10:47.:10:50.

police thwarted the plan, arresting the two boys on Monday after an

:10:51.:10:54.

anonymous person came forward to report the plot. I am convinced that

:10:55.:11:00.

we averted a mass murder. Police say a search of the team, teenagers'

:11:01.:11:12.

computers showed evidence of research. A research things like

:11:13.:11:21.

guns, knives, bullet`proof vests. It ended right here at South Pasadena

:11:22.:11:24.

high school, where police say the teenagers were prepared to die. How

:11:25.:11:29.

would you characterise their demeanour with police? Their

:11:30.:11:33.

demeanour was such that it was monotone, matter of fact, they were

:11:34.:11:38.

talking about killing people. It was very chilling. Earlier this year in

:11:39.:11:43.

Minnesota, police say they averted a fit a new Roald's plot to kill his

:11:44.:11:48.

family and bomb his school. That time, too, someone came forward to

:11:49.:11:57.

warn people. I can't emphasise enough how that one phone call to us

:11:58.:12:06.

got the ball rolling. I am just excited to go back and be with my

:12:07.:12:10.

friend. While they are awaiting charges, their classmates will be

:12:11.:12:15.

back at school on Friday. Tonight, a surprising headline that

:12:16.:12:19.

might change the way you think about your car parked in the driveway. We

:12:20.:12:24.

have a new ranking of cars targeted by thieves across the country. At

:12:25.:12:28.

the top of the list, not a flashy sports car but your family car. Why?

:12:29.:12:39.

In the movies and on TV it is always cool cars that are gone in 60

:12:40.:12:47.

seconds. But in real life, the thief favourites are not smoking hot. The

:12:48.:12:52.

most stolen cars of last year, the Honda accord, Honda Civic, Ford F

:12:53.:12:56.

series, and Toyota Camry. Preferably from the 90s. Older models often

:12:57.:13:02.

don't have the same security features new luxury models do. There

:13:03.:13:13.

is a Toyota. Something as small as a cracked window makes a thief's job

:13:14.:13:20.

much easier. I can get it out of its track by rocking back and forth. I

:13:21.:13:25.

can reach in and unlock it. So, what do you need to know to make sure

:13:26.:13:28.

guys like Steve don't drive off in your car? Experts say the age`old

:13:29.:13:33.

advice is still the best. Parked in a well lit, busy area, fully lock

:13:34.:13:40.

all doors, windows and sunroof. And, don't leave your keys in the car.

:13:41.:13:47.

Up next, real money. We want to take a last minute by vacation perhaps,

:13:48.:14:00.

practically for free? We have an undercover mission that can do it by

:14:01.:14:05.

the beach. And, a little league coach with a pep talk for everyone

:14:06.:14:06.

watching tonight. Next, our real money team is back to

:14:07.:14:51.

help you plan a last`minute summer vacation and save hundreds of

:14:52.:14:56.

dollars. Families booking trips in the final two weeks before Labour

:14:57.:15:00.

Day. Did you know you can accept a kind of spy mission and relax at the

:15:01.:15:04.

same time? We will show you how to put money in your pocket.

:15:05.:15:10.

Rebecca, Mike and pharaonic are about to go on summer vacation

:15:11.:15:17.

practically for free. How? They are mystery shoppers. As many as 1

:15:18.:15:21.

million of them in America right now, sent in by companies to make

:15:22.:15:27.

sure everything is running smoothly. If there wasn't mystery shopping, I

:15:28.:15:29.

don't know how I would pay full price for these things. Free

:15:30.:15:34.

newspapers, 24`hour business and fitness centres, they all checkout.

:15:35.:15:37.

But the pillows in the lobby, Nessie. And, there is sand all over

:15:38.:15:45.

the carpet steps. Everything gets documented on this score sheet. What

:15:46.:15:49.

would you say about this experience so far? I would say the service is

:15:50.:15:56.

friendly, maybe a little slow. Upstairs, the ice machine looks

:15:57.:15:59.

good, but the vending machine is out of order. Inside... That is where

:16:00.:16:08.

Rebecca finds a tiny stain. In the bathroom, testing their hairdryer.

:16:09.:16:15.

In the end, they give the Hotel a thumbs up. They say they will do

:16:16.:16:20.

about 150 mystery shops this year, saving their family about $5,000 in

:16:21.:16:23.

expenses they would have bought anyway. David Lipton, president of a

:16:24.:16:29.

mystery shopping company, says to be wary of companies asking you to pay

:16:30.:16:37.

their money upfront. The most successful mystery shoppers are

:16:38.:16:39.

people who are reliable and responsible and have a key`detailed.

:16:40.:16:46.

Back on the beach, they are all done digging up another mystery shop.

:16:47.:16:56.

Trending topics tonight. A new ranking of the cities that get the

:16:57.:17:00.

most and least sleep. Melbourne, Australia, apparently gets the most

:17:01.:17:06.

sleep. The only American city that comes close is Orlando with six

:17:07.:17:13.

hours and 56 minutes. And the most sleep deprived city we know about

:17:14.:17:22.

his Tokyo. A man whose voice was like a starting gun for an American

:17:23.:17:33.

tradition. Don, and his percussive arrah tone, introducing the first

:17:34.:17:37.

episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. And for nearly 40 years that

:17:38.:17:45.

followed. He started in radio, worked on other shows, he was 96.

:17:46.:17:54.

And a shock tonight for fans of Katy Perry, Rihanna and Coldplay. All

:17:55.:17:58.

three are reportedly on the shortlist for the half`time show at

:17:59.:18:01.

the Super Bowl. Talk about a trick play. Word tonight the NFL is

:18:02.:18:08.

reportedly asking them to pay to get the gig to kick in a portion of

:18:09.:18:11.

profits from their tours after the Super Bowl. The NFL already post

:18:12.:18:17.

billions of dollars in revenue every year.

:18:18.:18:22.

Finally, rising from defeat. Last night, the Little League team from

:18:23.:18:25.

Rhode Island suffered a heartbreaking loss to Chicago at the

:18:26.:18:29.

World Series. But through their tears comes a lesson for everyone

:18:30.:18:37.

about new hope for a new day. Two ways they've told his Little

:18:38.:18:40.

League team to think about baseball this week. One was about how to win.

:18:41.:18:45.

Saturday, when they were down by two, going into the bottom of the

:18:46.:18:48.

last innings in an elimination game, and he gave his boys this

:18:49.:18:55.

talk. We are putting three on the board, we are not going to go down

:18:56.:19:02.

without fighting. Here is what his players gave their coach. An

:19:03.:19:12.

explosion. And, the wind. Then, on Monday, against another team, strike

:19:13.:19:17.

three. They lost this time, out of the series. When the coach noticed

:19:18.:19:22.

some of the boys crying, he found something to say about how to lose.

:19:23.:19:27.

I have got to see your eyes. With your head up. There is no

:19:28.:19:33.

disappointment for your effort, OK? In the whole tournament, the whole

:19:34.:19:37.

season, it has been an incredible journey. And with remembering how

:19:38.:19:43.

much did work. We got down to we are one of the best teams in the world.

:19:44.:19:49.

And recognising what they did when. You guys have to bring back

:19:50.:19:53.

something that no other team can provide but you guys. That is pride.

:19:54.:19:59.

OK? Pride. Their final huddle ended with a lesson that sometimes it is

:20:00.:20:01.

how you play the game. You can watch the Little League

:20:02.:20:13.

World Series on our part and network, ESPN. I will see you

:20:14.:20:15.

tomorrow night. `` partner. It looks like Wednesday for many of

:20:16.:20:32.

you will be not only a reasonably sunny day but a mostly dry one as

:20:33.:20:36.

well. The wind is a bit lighter, with a chilly start. In most towns

:20:37.:20:42.

and city centres, we are looking at temperatures around double figures.

:20:43.:20:46.

Get yourself away from there, and a very cold

:20:47.:20:47.
