Time now for ABC World News with Dianne Sawyer. Welcome to World | :00:07. | :00:17. | |

there any risk for those around them? The growing terror threat and | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
a new warning about the brutal forces of ISIS, the US clearly | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
getting ready to act. And new details about the failed rescue | :00:34. | :00:37. | |

night. We began with the stunning and wonderful return to life of two | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Americans infected with the deadly Ebola virus, tonight declared cured, | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
leaving the hospital in Georgia. His two pictures say at all. Doctor | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
high`fiving his medical team today. It was 20 days after this image. | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
Brantley Getting out of the ambulance and walking into this | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
hospital with the medical officers sealed in medical suits. We will | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
speak to our correspondent in a moment, at first, we live the drama | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
of this day. For a missionary who nearly died after contracting Ebola, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
there was good reason for Cheers and applause. Today is a miraculous day. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
I am thrilled to be alive. On Wednesday, July 23. I woke up | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
feeling under the weather. And then my life took an unexpected turn, as | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
I was diagnosed with Ebola virus disease. Nervous but healthy looking | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
doctor stepped in front of cameras with his wife, and then hugged every | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
member of his medical team who had had to work in protective suits and | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
bubbles but were not worried today. After three weeks here, he is now | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
cured, and is now even in unit to the virus responsible for 1300 | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
deaths in west Africa. `` immune. God saved my life, a direct answer | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
to thousands and thousands of prayers. I am thankful to all | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
involved in my care, from the first day of my illness up to today. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Families were praying for both he and his co`worker, seen here working | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
at this Liberian field hospital. It took a rescue mission to fly them | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
stateside when they were sick, and they both received an experimental | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
drug. She was discharged on Tuesday. There was ongoing testing, feedback | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
and results. So I feel extremely confident that these patients pose | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
no public threat whatsoever. She is doing very well, she is just trying | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
to get the strength back that she had before she came down that the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
virus. Missionaries tell us the focus needs to remain on West | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
Africa. In Liberia it has come to this. There is no way in and no way | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
out. Police in riot gear have quarantined hundreds of people. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
Later they we heard from the family's Church in Fort Worth, | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Texas. They tell us he would be overwhelmed with the number of | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
people who will want to hug him. We will turn to ABC's chief medical | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
editor. He has travelled the world hunting down viruses. On the | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
question of contagion, they have been tested, but how are they sure | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
it is not contagious any more? They will not have any virus in the blood | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
or euro on. The one recommendation public health officials make is to | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
use condoms per about three months after infection `` urine. They | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
should be free in the community without spreading disease. Now they | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
are immune, which means they can go in and help other patients without | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
risk? Baron into this strain of Ebola, that is `` they are immune to | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
this strain of the virus. People who have recovered can be caregivers. Is | :04:14. | :04:36. | |
fast they say it worked. They need to do a study to find out whether | :04:37. | :04:36. | |
difference, before rushing to judgement that it was a miracle. `` | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
hurts. And now the other big story today, the hunt for those | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
responsible for executing James Foley. One of the men, with what | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
seemed to be a British accent. And now the urgent worry about another | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
hostage, and details of the rescue mission that failed. ABC's chief | :04:57. | :05:06. | |
correspondent. With growing concerns about the fate of a second US | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
hostage, US officials defended the failed rescue attempt in Syria on | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
the July four weekend. Omission was executed flawlessly after a | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
significant period of preparation, planning, and rehearsal `` the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
mission. And it turned out that the hostages were no longer at that | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
location. US officials say the secret night`time mission targeted a | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
large ISIS camp in Syria. It involved several dozen special | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
operation troops. And ships, helicopters, and surveillance drones | :05:39. | :05:48. | |
overhead `` gunships. The US will not relent in trying to bring our | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
citizens home and their captors to justice. The rescue mission was | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
launched after it became clear that no negotiations were possible with | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
the ISIS group, which had demanded a ransom of $130 million for the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
release of James Foley. The FBI didn't take it seriously. We didn't | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
take it seriously. People involved in the process of State ISIS | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
hostages from France and other European countries were set free | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
after ransom payment of about $2 million cash bid. Delivered by | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
middlemen from Turkey. Something the US has refused to consider. And 2014 | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
alone, they have gotten millions of dollars from kidnapping western | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
citizens. Obviously we believe very strongly that we need to cut off | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
their funding. As the FBI stepped up its investigation, some former | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
hostages identified James Foley's executioner as one of three British | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
citizens they nicknamed the Beatles, who served as jailers, torturers, | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
and executioners for the Islamic terror group. | :06:50. | :06:59. | |
ISIS tonight said in an e`mail that you do not spare hour week children | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
and women, so we will not spare yours. As you know, the central | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
question is what will work to defeat a force as ruthless and implacable | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
as ISIS? What are they talking about today? They're going to continue | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
these airstrikes and they have really been pounding those ISIS | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
targets in Iraq. They have pounded about 100 targets since the | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
airstrikes began. They said today at the Pentagon that | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
they are sure ISIS will regroup, and Chuck Hegel called ISIS an imminent | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
threat to every interest we have, whether it is in Iraq or anywhere | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
else. What about in an thread, does that mean a specific target in the | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
US? `` fracked. I don't think he meant that, he meant the region `` | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
threat. They are concentrating on the region now and I would not rule | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
out airstrikes in Syria, the Pentagon said today. Martha, Brian, | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
thanks very much. Good to have you with us in New York | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
tonight. To Ferguson, Missouri, and a sign that chaos after Michael | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Brown's death may be subsiding. The governor ordered a systematic | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
withdrawal of the National Guard. Overnight there were fewer addressed | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
.Mac arrests, with authority saying the crowds were smaller and violence | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
was less. More details on what brought the economy to the brink a | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
few years ago. A landmark settlement between bank of America and the | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
Justice Department. $60.25 billion. What does the bank admit it did? We | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
have been talking to our sources all day. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
Today bank of America admitted to massive fraud, fraud that cost | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
thousands of Americans their homes. Bank of America, Merrill Lynch and | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Countrywide each engaged in pervasive schemes to defraud | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
financial institutions and other investments. They were packaged as | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
good investments and when they failed it led to a tsunami of | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
bankruptcies and foreclosures, igniting the great recession. It's | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
like going to your grocery store that is advertised as fresh, only to | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
discover that store employees knew the milk you were buying had been | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
left out on the loading dock unrefrigerated. Today's record, | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
nearly $17 billion, includes $7 billion for ready for underwater | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
homeowners. It includes several big pay`outs. Many bank executives, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
including the CEOs of Countrywide and JP Morgan trace, were brought | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
before Congress. Do you understand this is difficult for my | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
constituents to take? Our industry shares some of that responsibility. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Former Countrywide CEO and genome is LO is facing the threat of a federal | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
lawsuit. But today there were no criminal charges filed against | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
high`level executives. Banks don't commit crimes, bankers do. Not a | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
single banker is being held accountable here. Justice Department | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
officials said criminal charges could come. Six years after the | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
collapse, many critics are sceptical. For the thousands of | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
homeowners who lost everything, critics are blunt. They say somebody | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
big needs to go to jail. Now a trial in the headlines tonight | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
and not quite what we have ever seen from a political couple in trouble. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Former Virginia Governor Bob McDonald, the charge is political | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
corruption. But it was his very personal defence that riveted the | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
country today. Virginia Governor Bob McDonald... He | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
appeared the polished politician with convincing confidence, talked | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
about as a possible presidential candidate. But behind the portrait | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
of Bob McDonald was the emotional wreckage of a troubled dissolving | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
marriage. He told how he was accused of | :11:03. | :11:12. | |
working with his wife to trade access to luxury gifts and cash. | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
That's why the troubled marriage is key to his defence, arguing things | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
got so bad with his wife they couldn't communicate enough to trade | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
their position for privileged. But prosecutors say Johnny Williams, the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
CEO of a diet supplement company, provided them the use of his private | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
jet, a Ferrari, gifts including a Rolex watch, $15,000 for their | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
daughter's wedding reception. In all, $165,000. But the former | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
governor claims the businessman got no special access. I never thought I | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
would be having to testify in a trial like this. Painful | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
admissions, emotionally reading eight 2011 love letter to his wife, | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
in which he wrote about, that a 2011 love letter `` a 2011 love letter. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
He went on to culture is it got so bad that he would work until he was | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
asleep in the Governors Mansion to avoid contact. If convicted both he | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
and his wife could be moving into prison cells. | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Up next here tonight, how to be smart about travel scams. Something | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
new, the late`night phone call to your hotel room that could empty | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
your bank account. And music to their ears? The new way to keep your | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
dog happy and maybe save your furniture when you're away. | :12:34. | :13:45. | |
Next tonight, and alert in time for the final getaway of summer. AAA | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
predicts 37 point million and it `` 34.7 million Americans will be | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
travelling this weekend. `` an alert. What started out as a pitstop | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
in this new audience hotel ended up a major pitfall for Christine and | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
her daughter, Katie. It's about midnight and our hotel room phone | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
rings. It is one of the ladies from the front desk explaining, " I need | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
your card number to put on file otherwise you need to get out of the | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
room" . So she gave her debit card number and went back to sleep. I | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
woke up and immediately thought there was something sketchy about | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
that call. She checks her bank account and realises all her money | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
has gone. It turns out this is so common that many hotels present | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
their guests with warnings about it, including the Best Western where | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
they stayed. The American hotel and lodging industry says it provides | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
regular updates to hoteliers on fraudulent activities, like this | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
one, the pizza scam. You'll find flyers under your door when you take | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
into the hotel. You call, you give them your credit card information, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
you order your pizza and nothing comes. Because they're not a | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
restaurant? It's nothing, a thief. Never give credit card information | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
over the phone once you have checked in. Go to the front desk. You want | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
to see the person getting this information from you. Check in with | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
a credit card instead of a debit card. They can move that money out | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
of your bank account in the blink of an eye. The advice we consistently | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
heard? It's fine to let your hair down on vacation but don't let down | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
your guard. A play date getting a lot of | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
attention to light, two kids visiting an aquarium in Connecticut | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
when this whale swims by simply to say hello, then gave them a bit of a | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
scare. Snapping the jaws... Doing it again. Maybe just entertaining them | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
in the style of a whale. An unusual way of saying let's just be | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
friends. A Grammy win has been writing songs for a particular | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
audience, something to make them relaxed and put up their feet... Oar | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
four of them. A dog I would say would want | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
something more... Andrew now composes and performs music for dog | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
TV, a station that keeps home alone dogs company. 12 million dogs in | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
America have clinically diagnosable separation anxiety. Your music is to | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
calm the dog, to occupy the dog, so it doesn't chew your couch. Save | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
your couch with DogTV. Researchers have discovered cows produce more | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
milk when listening to country, and monkeys like music that sounds like | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
their own screeching. And DogTV actually researched and produced | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
guidelines on what dogs like. Keep it below middle level C, a harp, | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
nothing to piercing. Think Brahms does it work? I can't tell if they | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
are going to be touched or emotionally moved by it, all we can | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
hope for is they don't run away to. We borrowed the owner's dog and | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Andrew played for him. Tailwagging, licking. She seems happy. | :17:33. | :17:41. | |
Thanks very much. We are always on the website. Nightline is on later | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
and I will see you again tomorrow night. Good night. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
We will continue to see plenty of showers overnight, especially in | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
central and southern parts of Britain. They will clear quickly in | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
the morning and Friday is looking bright with a lot of sunshine. Still | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
showers are crossed the exposed northern coastal parts of Scotland | :18:09. | :18:09. | |
and Northern | :18:10. | :18:10. |
