<v Speaker 1>New Yorkers.

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 2>Taxi. I'm tanning.

00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 3>This is the seventy seven WABC mini.

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 4>Cast joining us tonight with some news gathering Insight is

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 4>the Worldwide News Networks overnight anchor Grandon Iison.

6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 5>It's so good to be on tonight, Walter, Thanks so

7
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.120
<v Speaker 5>much for having me. This is really a good chance

8
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.640
<v Speaker 5>to showcase some of the hard work our Worldwide News

9
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 5>Network anchors and producers are putting in to both news

10
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 5>gathering and presentation. We can start with a few of

11
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 5>the heavies that have been on people's minds Iran and Oman,

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.560
<v Speaker 5>of course, still in the final stages of a major

13
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 5>bilateral maritime agreement. Here's one of our correspondents from News Nation,

14
00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 5>Cory Smith.

15
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 6>Iran would control the northern portion of the straight, closest

16
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 6>to its coastline and oversea inbound traffic. Oman would control

17
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 6>the southern side and oversea outbound traffic. Now that southern

18
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 6>side is the portion of the strait the US military

19
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.200
<v Speaker 6>has said is open to commercial vessels.

20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 5>Now on that routex are saying that President Trump will

21
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.399
<v Speaker 5>likely you need to make some compromises now, and that's

22
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 5>something he's been unwilling to do in the past Iran

23
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.000
<v Speaker 5>has said that the Straight will not be a free

24
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 5>international waterway as it had been before the war. During

25
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 5>a heated exchange at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing,

26
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 5>Chairman Rand Paul clashed with his fellow senators over his

27
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 5>decision to hold doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt over his

28
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 5>refusal to answer questions during testimony last week. Anthony Faucher

29
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 5>refused a voluntary private deposition, and that's why he was

30
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.959
<v Speaker 5>brought in under subpoena, which was going to be one down,

31
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 5>interrupt the chairs Down't interrupt the chair. The senator is

32
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.760
<v Speaker 5>also now sending the referral directly to the Justice Department,

33
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 5>whereas typically the next step would be to put the

34
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 5>committee decision to a full Senate vote. So we're watching that.

35
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 5>Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has released another statement saying that

36
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 5>he's now been released from a rehab center after a

37
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.760
<v Speaker 5>fall and a bout of pneumonia. He said that on

38
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 5>adviceive to doctors, he'll be doing some physical therapy and

39
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 5>be working from home now. President Trump has signed two

40
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.359
<v Speaker 5>new executive orders to narrow birthright citizenship and crack down

41
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 5>on what he calls commercial birth tourism.

42
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 7>Hundreds of thousands, okay, hundreds of thousands.

43
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 3>You have.

44
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.280
<v Speaker 6>One man came in with a family, had said sitting

45
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 6>in fifty six children.

46
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 3>Another one came in, they said they had ninety eight children.

47
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.960
<v Speaker 5>However, the Supreme Court struck down a similar executive order

48
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 5>in April, calling it unconstitutional. Now something we picked up

49
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 5>on concerning the immigration beat. A Zambia national and asylum

50
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 5>seeker legally working as a nurse at a hospital in

51
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Maine has now been released from ice custody and returned

52
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 5>to her life in Maine after being detained in late

53
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 5>July at Boston's Logan International Airport. Debora Kapecia's release came

54
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 5>one day after a union rally in Portland and followed

55
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 5>swift advocacy by the Maine and National Nurses Associations.

56
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>We have learned that Dabora will not be transferred to

57
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Louisiana today good the direct result of the action that

58
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>we have done in the past twenty four hours. It's

59
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>every nurse coming up speaking out Camora.

60
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 5>The hospital, confirming ongoing contact with her attorneys in the

61
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 5>Congressional delegation, while urging sponsorship for her Green card ice

62
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 5>agents are making up to forty arrests a day at

63
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 5>US airports, but they are also now facing pushback from

64
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 5>the airlines. Here's News Nation's Brookshaefer the.

65
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Plans already facing backlash. Newark's mayor said there's no correlation

66
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 1>between the right of peaceful assembly and the orderly operation

67
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of an international airport. A group which represents many of

68
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>our major airlines, Airlines for America, said the plans would

69
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>have a devastating effect on the airline and tourism industries, with.

70
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 5>The country facing more than twenty thousand cases of cyclosporiasis

71
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 5>linked to lettuce. Our Afternoon anchor Bill Raykoff reports that

72
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 5>authorities in Michigan say that it's now safe to eat

73
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 5>salads again. State health officials are advising residents to resume

74
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 5>eating the lettuce in salad green, citing a slowdown in

75
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 5>new cyclosporiasis infections. The worst of the outbreak had occurred

76
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 5>in Michigan, which reported the first two deaths associated with

77
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 5>the outbreak. Both individuals had significant underlying health conditions. An

78
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 5>FDA investigation linked the multi state outbreak, which has spread

79
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 5>to fifteen states, to iceberg letters served at Taco Bell

80
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 5>restaurants and sourced from privately held Taylor Farms operations in

81
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.199
<v Speaker 5>central Mexico. Bill Rakoff, Worldwide News Network, And if we've

82
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 5>been keeping our eye on the western portion of the country,

83
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.199
<v Speaker 5>we do have an update on fires in eastern Washington,

84
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 5>where now more than nine hundred structures have been destroyed

85
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 5>since Saturday, including this woman's home.

86
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 4>This was my childhood home.

87
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we lost literally everything, all the family heirlooms.

88
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 8>You can see how close and how fragile life can

89
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 8>be you when you look across the street and your

90
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 8>house is gone.

91
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 5>The update here in court facing arson charges related to

92
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 5>the Spokane County fires that have still have tens of

93
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 5>thousands of people evacuated from their homes. Aaron Farnacci has

94
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 5>been served, who has already served time in Arizona for

95
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 5>killing his father, confessed to igniting the Old Trails fire

96
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 5>with along with twenty five additional fires across the Spokane

97
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 5>area since July of twenty twenty five. He said that

98
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 5>he planned the August first place two weeks in advance

99
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 5>by monitoring weather conditions and deploying a time delay device

100
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 5>modeled after a serial arsonist. Prosecutors have filed four new

101
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 5>first degree arson charges against Farnaci. The Old Trails fire

102
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 5>alone destroyed more than four hundred homes and scorched thousands

103
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:20.519
<v Speaker 5>of acres. Residents in the area still recovering in the

104
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 5>fires aftermath.

105
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 8>We sat in our car for three hours in the

106
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 8>Safeway parking lot, you know, waiting it out, with our

107
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 8>ten year old in the backseat, asking, you know, are

108
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 8>we going to be okay? What's going on? So something

109
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.279
<v Speaker 8>that she's going to remember for the rest of her life,

110
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 8>and you know, somebody cause that as horrible.

111
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 5>So we do cover a lot of the disasters across

112
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 5>the country and then continuing on with the crime beat,

113
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 5>we follow all cities, all states, all countries, even with

114
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.360
<v Speaker 5>this one fifteen year old boycott on camera going from

115
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 5>home to home in East Saint Louis dressed as a

116
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:53.439
<v Speaker 5>clown and now facing murder charges. News Nations Max de

00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 5>Knight has more.

118
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 3>Chilly video shows the moment a teen wearing a clown

119
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.879
<v Speaker 3>costume rang Laura Palmer's ring doorbell camera. It happened just

120
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 3>after nine pm Monday, as she was laying in dead

121
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.519

127
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 5>All right, and then Walter, of course, there's always the

128
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 5>lighter side of midnight. We truly do take considerable efforts

129
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 5>to show the world as it is today, even all

130
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 5>the good things and all the amazing people. Worldwide News

131
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 5>Network Nighttime anchor Cooper Lawrence churning out this story for

132
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 5>us that is just utterly fascinating.

133
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 7>Parents usually tell their kids not to play with their food,

134
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 7>but butter sculptor Sarah Pratt never got that message.

135
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 5>I grew up going to the Iowa State Fair from

136
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 5>the time I was just very young.

137
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 7>Iowa's longtime butter sculptor was commissioned to create an eight

138
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 7>hundred pound butter cow for the Smithsonian American Art Museum

139
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 7>State Fairs exhibition. She says, the beauty really is in

140
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 7>the details.

141
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 1>Details on the eyes and the face. That's really where

142
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the magic happens.

143
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.079

145
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.519
<v Speaker 5>And again, Walter, the news can't just always be that optimistic.

146
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 5>We've got to get back to work over here with

147
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 5>the Worldwide News Network. We've got disruption to the avocado

148
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.279

150
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.720
<v Speaker 5>today on whether Acting AG Todd Blanche will move on

<v Speaker 5>dozen others have been wounded at a high school, both

155
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 5>students and teachers among the dead seven deaths total at

156
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:35.199
<v Speaker 5>the school if the student who turned the gun on

157
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 5>himself as included. But now in another update, we find

158
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 5>that he also shot and killed his grandparents before going

159
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 5>on the school rampage. So that's two more dead we're

160
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.000
<v Speaker 5>just hearing about right now. Walter. Thanks, and maybe, as

161
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 5>you might say, see you on the other side of midnight.

162
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Did you mention there might be a threat to our

163
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 4>food supply line of avocado toast. Is that what you

164
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:57.279
<v Speaker 4>just said I.

165
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 5>Was going to ask you. I thought you might take

166
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.279
<v Speaker 5>it a little bit personal, so I thought i'd include that.

167
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm really happy to report that I eat no

168
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 4>cafe food. Avocado toast is a way too recent an

169
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 4>event for me. I cause scandal by ordering sausage pizza.

170
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 4>They don't want you to, you know, they used to

171
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:21.720
<v Speaker 4>have that. You could walk into a pizza and get

172
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.439
<v Speaker 4>a slice of sausage pizza, mushroom pizza, maybe peppers and

173
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.759
<v Speaker 4>onion pizza, and plain pizza. Now you're gonna have to

174
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 4>order special the sausage pizza. This has changed my lifestyle.

175
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 5>Well, we'll find out when this this disruption can be

176
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:40.720
<v Speaker 5>ended for you so you can get back to your

177
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 5>regularly scheduled lifetime activities.

178
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.120
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much, terrific report. Look forward to you

179
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 4>being here every night keeping us up to date. On

180
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 4>the other side of midnight, Walter Stirling
