:00:12. > :00:17.Tonight, another American fighting for and dying for the terror group,
:00:18. > :00:21.ISIS. What is joining American men to join the ruthless army? It is
:00:22. > :00:29.happening as an American woman is held hostage by the group. And,
:00:30. > :00:32.double trouble. Hurricane is on both coasts set to bring big waves and
:00:33. > :00:39.rip currents. Burger King backlash, as the American giant moves to
:00:40. > :00:47.Canada to save money on taxes. And, two women who want to tell every
:00:48. > :00:52.child they matter. That is America Strong.
:00:53. > :00:59.Good evening. We come on the air, learning new details about the
:01:00. > :01:03.American connection inside the deadly terror group ISIS. Another
:01:04. > :01:09.American recruited by them and killed while fighting with their
:01:10. > :01:14.forces in Syria. So, how many Americans are there and what are
:01:15. > :01:16.their goals? Brian Ross is back on this case for us tonight. The
:01:17. > :01:21.American Citizen reported killed is precisely the sort of ISIS recruit
:01:22. > :01:25.that authorities are worried would gladly sacrifice themselves for
:01:26. > :01:30.their jihadi course, either here or there. He grew up in Minnesota, and
:01:31. > :01:36.went to college in San Diego. On his Facebook page, 33`year`old Douglas
:01:37. > :01:43.MacArthur McCain hardly appeared to be a dangerous decade. Today, he was
:01:44. > :01:48.reported to have been killed in Syria while writing for a brutal
:01:49. > :01:53.terror of it. This is according to a rival militant group. In a Twitter
:01:54. > :01:59.message earlier this year, McCain, who said he had converted to Islam
:02:00. > :02:05.decades ago, said, stand strong, we will soon be won. I feel he may have
:02:06. > :02:11.lost its identity, because all of this is not him. An estimated 100
:02:12. > :02:17.Americans have been recruited to fight for jihadi scripts in Syria. I
:02:18. > :02:22.feel I can still dreaming. Earlier this summer, a Syrian Al Qaeda group
:02:23. > :02:26.said an American from Florida carried out a suicide bomb attack
:02:27. > :02:31.for them. He left behind this threatening video for fellow
:02:32. > :02:35.Americans. As brutal and as outrageous as the killing of
:02:36. > :02:40.American journalist James Foley was, ISIS presents an even greater threat
:02:41. > :02:46.to the US, according to the former co`chairman of the 9/11 commission.
:02:47. > :02:52.They are in a good place to organise a major attack on the US. There was
:02:53. > :02:58.no news today about the fate of the American journalist, Steven
:02:59. > :03:04.Sotloff. President Obama issued his own warning to those responsible in
:03:05. > :03:10.ISIS. America does not forget. Our reach is long, we are patient,
:03:11. > :03:14.justice will be done. The President went on to say that going after and
:03:15. > :03:19.rooting out ISIS won't be easy and won't be quick.
:03:20. > :03:23.He said our reach is long. The President said it would be easy or
:03:24. > :03:28.quick. Today we learned he is taking action, and taking spy planes,
:03:29. > :03:35.drones, to fly over Syria at his command. What does this mean?
:03:36. > :03:39.Martha, how big is this? Improving surveillance flights does not mean
:03:40. > :03:44.that airstrikes in Syria are a certainty, but what is certain
:03:45. > :03:48.tonight is that the Pentagon is preparing options for airstrikes. To
:03:49. > :03:52.do that, they need to pinpoint where ISIS has weapons, using drones, they
:03:53. > :03:55.look for training camps and especially to track the movement of
:03:56. > :04:00.convoys and supplies back and forth from Iraq. Today, there were more
:04:01. > :04:07.airstrikes inside Iraq. It may sound like mission creep to people if the
:04:08. > :04:11.US decides to conduct airstrikes in Syria, but the execution of James
:04:12. > :04:16.Foley made the American public and US officials realise how rape the
:04:17. > :04:20.threat is from crisis. While I have you, I want to go to another part of
:04:21. > :04:25.the region. Let's go to Gaza, because there is word that there is
:04:26. > :04:30.a ceasefire. Indeed, this comes after seven weeks of conflict. More
:04:31. > :04:35.than 2000 Palestinian deaths, the destruction of thousands of homes
:04:36. > :04:41.and buildings in Gaza. And, the death of 64 Israeli soldiers and
:04:42. > :04:44.five civilians. The long`term ceasefire eases some restrictions on
:04:45. > :04:48.travel in Gaza, and will allow humanitarian aid. But it falls far
:04:49. > :04:56.short of addressing long`term issues. It is welcome news all the
:04:57. > :05:00.same. Now, we go to the deadly Ebola outbreak, and a new warning from one
:05:01. > :05:04.of the nation's top doctors, the head of the CDC, warning that the
:05:05. > :05:10.outbreak in Africa is even worse than we feared. Our chief medical
:05:11. > :05:16.editor is right there on the front lines of an epidemic.
:05:17. > :05:18.Tonight, the head of the CDC travelling in Liberia announced the
:05:19. > :05:22.world is losing the fight against Ebola. Standing in the pouring rain
:05:23. > :05:28.outside one clinic, we could see why. We witnessed something truly
:05:29. > :05:33.terrorising. These men in head to toe protection of the gear, heeding
:05:34. > :05:38.the body of one victim into a flatbed truck, piled high with
:05:39. > :05:46.others. Immediately afterwards, sprayed down with bleach. This is
:05:47. > :05:49.incredible, seeing a truck car weighed ten bodies of people who
:05:50. > :05:52.died from Ebola. I can't imagine what someone is in King who has
:05:53. > :05:56.arrived there for treatment. It is the gates of hell, going into that
:05:57. > :06:05.treatment ward and knowing that the odds are you'll come out in a
:06:06. > :06:10.bodybag. Losing health`care workers is devastating. Even before the
:06:11. > :06:17.outbreak, there is only one doctor for every 100,000 people. The loss
:06:18. > :06:20.of lives of health`care workers really concerns me. Whistle for
:06:21. > :06:24.ourselves the lack of protective equipment. He is covered up for
:06:25. > :06:28.going into the ward. The final party is going into his foot, but they
:06:29. > :06:33.don't have ready`made ones, so they are making them out of other
:06:34. > :06:39.equipment. This clinic opened a few days ago and it is overflowing. Here
:06:40. > :06:45.at this hospital, people are assessed to see if they have Ebola,
:06:46. > :06:47.and if they do they are put into isolation. The Liberian government
:06:48. > :06:52.estimates up to 75% of deaths have been women, in part because they are
:06:53. > :06:56.primary caregivers. You worry that you could get Ebola? Sometimes it's
:06:57. > :07:03.query, but we have to help other people. Here, a glimmer of hope.
:07:04. > :07:12.This woman seemingly cured. How do you feel the date? I feel good. When
:07:13. > :07:18.can you go home? Now! She is one of the few. 1400 lives have already
:07:19. > :07:25.been lost to Ebola, with no end in sight. The signs we are seeing here
:07:26. > :07:29.are not good. Ebola seems to be winning this battle. Hopefully the
:07:30. > :07:36.world will send resources that are so desperately needed.
:07:37. > :07:40.Back here at home, tonight, with just days to go until the big
:07:41. > :07:42.holiday weekend, we are tracking duelling Harry Kane is, one in the
:07:43. > :08:02.east and one in the west. We have to start in the West with
:08:03. > :08:08.Hurricane Marie which has huge power. We are already seeing large
:08:09. > :08:17.swells and rescuers are trying to do their job. The waves can pick up and
:08:18. > :08:22.over the week we are expecting it to debt faster. It is not just the
:08:23. > :08:30.Pacific Ocean but also the Atlantic `` get. Dangerous currents are
:08:31. > :08:34.possible from Georgia all the way up to Maine. Meteorology student in
:08:35. > :08:43.Indiana are getting some extra lessons on flash flooding and that
:08:44. > :08:50.is expected from Arizona to Iowa. Tonight on American original is
:08:51. > :08:55.under fire, Burger King accused of doing something that many Americans
:08:56. > :09:00.question, heading up to Canada to save tax money. What is the truth of
:09:01. > :09:10.what they are doing? We tracked down the CEO with the questions tonight
:09:11. > :09:16.Burger King, the company founded in 1952 will not combined with Canadian
:09:17. > :09:22.doughnut giant Tim Hortons to become one of the largest fast food
:09:23. > :09:26.companies worldwide. Why are they doing this? Sales have been flat
:09:27. > :09:30.over the last few years and Tim Hortons is the largest coffee player
:09:31. > :09:37.in Canada. A will also pay fewer taxes which we have pointed out to
:09:38. > :09:43.the CEO `` they. How much do they expect to save on their taxes? It
:09:44. > :09:47.was not a factor for this deal. Burger King makes $1 billion a year
:09:48. > :09:53.in sales and by moving to Canada it could save millions on taxes. The US
:09:54. > :10:02.has the highest corporate tax rate in the world at 39% while Canada is
:10:03. > :10:09.that just 26. `` at. Moving to Canada will give it an even better
:10:10. > :10:15.deal. The term tax aversion has come up a lot. Americans are outraged
:10:16. > :10:23.online and the president earlier this summer criticized companies for
:10:24. > :10:27.relocating. A drugstore chain recently walked away from another
:10:28. > :10:31.deal to move overseas but helping to finance this deal is billionaire
:10:32. > :10:37.investor Warren Buffett who famously complained that billionaires should
:10:38. > :10:44.not pay lower taxes than average Americans. This is not just about
:10:45. > :10:50.Burger King, a sizeable amount of companies have moved overseas to
:10:51. > :11:00.save money on taxes and this could cost up to $19 billion if this
:11:01. > :11:06.continues to happen. Tomorrow night, we will have an all
:11:07. > :11:10.new investigation on China churning out products that look just like
:11:11. > :11:13.they were made here at home, right down to the packaging and how
:11:14. > :11:17.American companies are fighting back. A passenger plane forced to
:11:18. > :11:22.land because of a midair fight in the cabin with passengers battling
:11:23. > :11:28.over leg room and that precious amount of space for the hours
:11:29. > :11:34.ahead. It all started on a flight in
:11:35. > :11:41.economy where you pay a little more for extra room. One woman could not
:11:42. > :11:45.recline because the man behind her put a piece of plastic on the seat
:11:46. > :11:52.back to keep her seat from reclining. A source tells us that he
:11:53. > :11:57.refused to remove the gadget and so the woman threw a cup of water into
:11:58. > :12:01.his face which prompted a landing in Chicago where both passengers were
:12:02. > :12:08.removed from the aircraft but not charged. The man was using these,
:12:09. > :12:14.and we have enlisted a helper to show us what happens when you use
:12:15. > :12:21.them. You slide them onto the tray and basic right in their end when he
:12:22. > :12:27.tries to recline, it won't come back `` there and. The problem is that
:12:28. > :12:34.many airlines do not allow their use. This man invented the gadget.
:12:35. > :12:41.The idea is to let the person in front of you know that you are back
:12:42. > :12:45.there. This as flights are more and more crowded and there is less and
:12:46. > :12:52.less room. Carriers are squeezing your leg room. A couple of years
:12:53. > :12:59.ago, 34 inches in codes, now down to 32 or 30 inches `` coach. Some
:13:00. > :13:08.carriers have squeezed down to 28 inches in order to get more rows.
:13:09. > :13:11.Already squeezed but look at this concept seat. You would be nearly
:13:12. > :13:22.standing up on your flight of the future. Up next, risky car rides.
:13:23. > :13:27.Getting behind the wheel of a vehicle that should not be on the
:13:28. > :13:30.road. Turning something small and loving into something that you can
:13:31. > :14:22.give to others. Next year tonight, a guilty plea and
:14:23. > :14:26.a warning about cars that are risky to drive. Vehicles damaged and not
:14:27. > :14:34.intended to go back on the road. We show what to look for before you
:14:35. > :14:37.drive off they used car lot. An estimated 100,000 water battered
:14:38. > :14:42.cars ended up back on the lot after a recent hurricane. All of these
:14:43. > :14:49.flood cars disappeared and the question was on the where did they
:14:50. > :14:55.go? They literally brought from the inside out and parts will fail. As
:14:56. > :15:00.we investigated, we tracked down one of these cars eating sold to
:15:01. > :15:12.unsuspecting buyers. If I can walk away giving you 24 everything, I
:15:13. > :15:15.will take it now `` 20 four. Just this week this man pled guilty to
:15:16. > :15:20.selling these cars and faces three years in prison, another faces three
:15:21. > :15:28.pending charges including conspiracy to commit theft by deception. He
:15:29. > :15:41.told our producers that red flags had come up via Car Facts. The car
:15:42. > :15:52.that we thought was checked out by a mechanic. That is been driven `` has
:15:53. > :15:57.been driven in water, no doubt. The Attorney General of New Jersey has
:15:58. > :16:05.told everyone to check the vehicle title history and to ensure that it
:16:06. > :16:10.has not been driven over time periods in which there were major
:16:11. > :16:16.storms. This is all advice to keep your bank account from going
:16:17. > :16:21.underwater as well. The results on the best and worst drivers in
:16:22. > :16:27.America raised on the frequency of car crashes. At the top of the
:16:28. > :16:30.safety list, Fort Collins Colorado where drivers are voted the safest
:16:31. > :16:40.in the nation for the fourth time in the row. Massachusetts was at the
:16:41. > :16:45.bottom with both Boston and Worcester coming in. Women trying to
:16:46. > :16:51.make a child feel special even at the hardest times with dignity in a
:16:52. > :16:57.simple gift. The women who are America Strong. This 14`year`old boy
:16:58. > :17:03.and five other foster children arrive at this home in Virginia with
:17:04. > :17:10.all of their belongings in one of these, a black garbage bag. Did
:17:11. > :17:15.anyone at school note you were homeless? Their foster mother says
:17:16. > :17:22.the trauma of their lives is eased by the little things like the smell
:17:23. > :17:27.of home cooking and a suitcase for their clothes. Their lives are
:17:28. > :17:36.important. They are not trash that can be discarded. They deserve more
:17:37. > :17:42.than just a garbage bag. Shell Jones, a local restaurant owner
:17:43. > :17:46.heard about this simple but important need and started
:17:47. > :17:49.collecting suitcases from friends and customers and the state welfare
:17:50. > :17:58.agency agreed to hand them out to foster children. On this day it was
:17:59. > :18:03.a party. Barely used or brand`new suitcases of every colour filled the
:18:04. > :18:10.floor and are pouring in every night for more than 500 children. A trash
:18:11. > :18:17.bag makes you feel like trash but a suitcase makes you feel like you are
:18:18. > :18:21.at home. Not everyone can take in a foster child. I wish everyone could
:18:22. > :18:27.but if you can't, this is something you can do. This is an easy way to
:18:28. > :18:32.tell these children that the lives they carry with them deserve more
:18:33. > :18:40.than a bag for trash and for that little thing, they are both America
:18:41. > :18:45.Strong. And we thank you so much for watching. We are always here and we
:18:46. > :18:59.will see you back here tomorrow. A month's rain in just two Mac days
:19:00. > :19:08.in London and the rain has finally cleared away. Many places will be
:19:09. > :19:09.dried today which is a pleasant change
