68. 2:35[music] From ABC News World Headquarters
69. 2:37in New York, this is World News Tonight
70. 2:41with David Mure.
71. 2:43>> Good evening. It's great to have you
72. 2:44with us here at a very [music] busy
73. 2:45Thursday night. We begin tonight here
74. 2:46with this category 2 hurricane tonight
75. 2:48closing in on the Gulf Coast with winds
76. 2:51right now up to 100 mph already rapidly
77. 2:54intensifying over the very warm waters
78. 2:56of the Gulf tonight. The new track just
79. 2:58in the storm expected to be a cat 2 as
80. 3:00it nears landfall in the Pensacola,
81. 3:02Florida area sometime tomorrow night.
82. 3:05Already tonight, storeshelves empty as
83. 3:07families along the coast stock up on
84. 3:09supplies. Many oil and natural gas rigs
85. 3:11in the Gulf have now been evacuated
86. 3:13tonight. More than 60% of the oil rigs
87. 3:15in the Gulf shut down, putting even more
88. 3:18pressure on gas prices across this
89. 3:20country. Hurricane hunters tonight
90. 3:21flying right into the eye of the storm
91. 3:23as it gained strength a few hundred
92. 3:25miles from shore. Millions tonight
93. 3:27bracing for a storm surge of up to 7
94. 3:29feet up to 15 inches of rain. Power
95. 3:31outages as well. Lee Goldberg has the
96. 3:33new track and Stephanie Ramos leading us
97. 3:35off from the storm zone tonight.
98. 3:37Tonight, millions bracing for Isaas. Now
99. 3:40a powerful category 2 hurricane
100. 3:43evacuating families jamming highways
101. 3:46shelves strips and concern over oil rigs
102. 3:49in East's path that could impact gas
103. 3:51prices. The governors of Alabama,
104. 3:54Georgia, and Florida already declaring
105. 3:56states of emergency, warning of long
106. 3:59duration power outages. Klay Hobbs is
107. 4:01coordinating emergency response in
108. 4:03Pensacola. He has 50 ambulances and 120
109. 4:07personnel standing by.
110. 4:09>> There comes a time though during the
111. 4:11storm where your teams aren't able to
112. 4:13reach those that need help.
113. 4:14>> We are not able to respond once the
114. 4:16sustained winds reach over 40 mph. So
115. 4:19when someone needs help or they decided
116. 4:21they want to evacuate, it's really too
117. 4:23late.
118. 4:24>> Isaas could bring up to 7 ft of storm
119. 4:26surge. The people that live here know
120. 4:28hurricanes and they're taking this one
121. 4:30seriously. Shelves are empty and gas
122. 4:33stations are running dry. Outside Buxy,
123. 4:36Mississippi, our Leslie Lopez found Chad
124. 4:38Lewis filling sandbags for people who
125. 4:41can't do it themselves.
126. 4:42>> This is our community. This is what we
127. 4:44do. This is what the coast is. After
128. 4:45Katrina, we all got together and this is
129. 4:47what you get when storms come. And
130. 4:50tonight, with gas prices already on the
131. 4:52rise in the US and diesel at nearrecord
132. 4:55highs, the storm forcing major oil
133. 4:57companies to evacuate rigs, producers
134. 5:00halting nearly 2thirds of all oil
135. 5:02production in the Gulf and more than
136. 5:04half of gas production, which could send
137. 5:06gas and fuel prices even higher. And
138. 5:09David, here in Pensacola, the wind has
139. 5:11certainly kicked up. You can see just
140. 5:13how choppy the waves are behind me. As
141. 5:16Isaias closes in, landfall is expected
142. 5:18near Pensacola Friday night. But the
143. 5:20impacts will extend across much of the
144. 5:23coast as families are bracing here and
145. 5:25all the way west to Louisiana. David,
146. 5:27>> yeah, it's going to be much uglier this
147. 5:29time tomorrow night. We're thinking
148. 5:30about the millions in the path and of
149. 5:31course you too and the crew. Stay safe,
150. 5:33Steph. Thank you. Let's get right to
151. 5:34senior meteorologist Lee Goldberg. Lee,
152. 5:36we know this is expected to be a Cat 2
153. 5:38hurricane right before it hits, but you
154. 5:40were saying the big question tonight is
155. 5:41whether there's any wind shear that
156. 5:43could help knock it down right before it
157. 5:45hits.
158. 5:47That would be best case, David. At the
159. 5:49very least, it'll stop it from rapidly
160. 5:52intensifying before landfall. We've seen
161. 5:53so many storms like that in recent years
162. 5:55that do that. This will not happen with
163. 5:57East Aai. We've seen an eye almost try
164. 5:59to form this afternoon. A definite sign
165. 6:00of strengthening. Winds of 100 miles an
166. 6:02hour. It's a cat 2. It could peak over
167. 6:04the next maybe 12 18 hours tomorrow
168. 6:06morning as a strong cat 2 making
169. 6:08landfalls either a cat 2 or a strong cat
170. 6:10one tomorrow evening Pensacola to maybe
171. 6:12Deston Florida the worst weather on that
172. 6:14right side with the surge the hurricane
173. 6:17warnings from Beluxy over to Panama City
174. 6:18but I want you to notice how far inland
175. 6:20the tropical storm watches go up to
176. 6:22Birmingham so gusty winds there and
177. 6:24worry about inland flooding as well as
178. 6:25we time it out conditions going downhill
179. 6:27fast tomorrow the worst late day evening
180. 6:30and into tomorrow night big winds flash
181. 6:31flooding it'll be remembered for tornado
182. 6:33tornadoes too, especially the panhandle
183. 6:34into Florida. The storm surge could be 5
184. 6:36to 7 ft, especially from Pensacola to
185. 6:39Panama City. If it does go to the right
186. 6:40of Mobile Bay, that's better for that
187. 6:42bay. Flood watches inland as we go into
188. 6:44the weekend. Up to a half foot of rain
189. 6:46along the track and even two to four
190. 6:48inches into the Carolinas. Preparation
191. 6:50needs to be done by tonight, David.
192. 6:51>> All right. Well, let's hope for that
193. 6:52wind shear, but either way, this is
194. 6:54going to be a powerful category, a one
195. 6:56or two hurricane when it hits. So, Lee,
196. 6:58thank you. We'll be tracking with you
197. 6:59right back here tomorrow night. In the
198. 7:01meantime, the other news this Thursday
199. 7:02night, this evening, Defense Secretary
200. 7:04Pete Hgsithth on the deck of the USS
201. 7:06Lincoln revealing his plan late today to
202. 7:08publicly execute the Fort Hood shooter
203. 7:10by firing squad. Hegs in a pre-recorded
204. 7:13interview said the public will be able
205. 7:15to watch. The Defense Department
206. 7:17official confirming to ABC News tonight
207. 7:18that they plan to live stream this
208. 7:20execution. Trevor Alp on board the USS
209. 7:23Lincoln
210. 7:25>> tonight as sailors aboard the USS
211. 7:27Abraham Lincoln return home from their
212. 7:29record- setting deployment. Secretary
213. 7:31Pete Hegsth making new headlines just a
214. 7:34short time ago while talking about Fort
215. 7:36Hood shooter Nadal Hassan. Hegs saying
216. 7:38the killer will face execution by firing
217. 7:41squad and now says he will make sure
218. 7:43that people can watch it that it will be
219. 7:45done publicly. And tonight a defense
220. 7:47official confirms the execution will be
221. 7:50livereamed. prompted during an interview
222. 7:52with a conservative news outlet on the
223. 7:54deck of the Lincoln late yesterday.
224. 7:56Hegsth said this,
225. 7:57>> Major Hassan, this news that came down
226. 7:59regarding firing squad. Can you tell us
227. 8:02about how that came about and and what
228. 8:04led to that decision process?
229. 8:06>> Nob brainer execution by firing squad.
230. 8:09Army major betrays his country, radical
231. 8:11Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at
232. 8:13Fort Hood. Of course, we're going to do
233. 8:14it at Fort Hood. Going to do it on a
234. 8:16Thursday. We're going to do it at 1:00,
235. 8:17which is when he did it. and it's going
236. 8:19to be soldiers with rifles executing the
237. 8:21firing squad,
238. 8:22>> he says, saying the public will be able
239. 8:24to watch.
240. 8:25>> We'll make sure that people are able to
241. 8:26to watch it, that it's public, uh,
242. 8:28because people need to understand that
243. 8:31this is a there's serious consequences
244. 8:33for these types of things.
245. 8:34>> The shooters attorney tonight saying
246. 8:35he's pledge for a public execution is
247. 8:38political theater, calling his comments
248. 8:40irresponsible.
249. 8:42Now David, if this execution takes place
250. 8:44in December and HGth says it will, it
251. 8:46would be the first public execution in
252. 8:48the US in some 90 years. And that
253. 8:51defense official tells ABC News it will
254. 8:53be live streamed. David,
255. 8:55>> Trevor Al with us live tonight. Trevor,
256. 8:56thank you. Meanwhile, here in New York
257. 8:58City, there's been an ICE shooting in
258. 8:59Manhattan. The man raced to the
259. 9:01hospital. Let's get right to our chief
260. 9:02investigative correspondent, Eric
261. 9:03Aturski. Erin, what have you learned so
262. 9:05far?
263. 9:07>> ICE agents shot someone in a vehicle up
264. 9:09near 225th Street. David and and
265. 9:12eyewitnesses said they heard several
266. 9:14shots. They also said they saw a child
267. 9:16in the car at the time. The person
268. 9:18struck was taken to the hospital with
269. 9:20non-lifethreatening injuries. It appears
270. 9:23the ICE agents were looking someone with
271. 9:24a prior conviction and a prior arrest.
272. 9:27But all this comes as sources tell ABC
273. 9:29News David that ICE has increased its
274. 9:32targeted number of arrests from 2,000 a
275. 9:35day up to 3,000 a day. David. All right,

295. 10:20espixiation,
296. 10:22starvation,

304. 10:39Maduro. Another American was visiting
305. 10:41family when prosecutors say Venezuelan
306. 10:43officers attacked him from behind and
307. 10:45later electrocuted his testicles. That
308. 10:47man allegedly told he was only alive

346. 12:01>> It's on the floor.
347. 12:02>> It's over there.
348. 12:03>> As another teacher restrains the boy on
349. 12:05her lap, he screams at officers.
350. 12:08>> I don't care if you call back up. I
351. 12:09don't care if I go to jail.
352. 12:11>> We know you know that language and you

366. 12:36Christa Pike, waking up and asking the
367. 12:38people around her, "Where am I and who
368. 12:41are you?" And tonight, she's now walking
369. 12:43with help. So, what comes next in this
370. 12:45case? Here's Morgan Norwood.
371. 12:48More than a week after her failed
372. 12:49execution, tonight, Tennessee death row
373. 12:52inmate Christa Pike now up and walking
374. 12:54around her hospital room. According to
375. 12:56her attorney,
376. 12:57>> she was walking with assistance. These
377. 12:59are just a few steps. We're not talking
378. 13:01about certainly not running a marathon
379. 13:03by any stretch of the imagination,
380. 13:05>> but adding she remains mentally foggy.
381. 13:07>> It's that sort of starting a sentence
382. 13:10and losing track of where she was going.
383. 13:12It's not that she's unaware, but that
384. 13:15she doesn't hold the thought very
385. 13:17easily.
386. 13:17>> The convicted killer surviving two
387. 13:19lethal injections. Lawyers saying prison
388. 13:21staff used at least seven needles to try
389. 13:23and gain access to her arms.
390. 13:25>> She's experiencing the pain of those
391. 13:28burns and pain in any effort to to use
392. 13:31her her arms and hands.
393. 13:34>> Her lawyers say doctors thought she was
394. 13:35brain dead and were preparing to take
395. 13:37her off life support earlier this week
396. 13:39when she regained consciousness. Her
397. 13:41attorneys are now asking Tennessee's
398. 13:43governor to commute her sentence to
399. 13:45life.
400. 13:46>> And David, corrections officials say
401. 13:47they followed the state's protocol for
402. 13:48executions. It's now up to the Tennessee
403. 13:50State Supreme Court to decide whether to
404. 13:53issue a new order to execute Christa
405. 13:55Pike. David
406. 13:56>> Morgan Norwood reporting. Thank you,
407. 13:57Morgan. Tonight, the chaotic scene
408. 13:59inside the federal courthouse in
409. 14:00Nashville. Police say a man walked in
410. 14:02with a pistol. When it didn't fire, he
411. 14:04pulled out a knife. The suspect was shot
412. 14:06and killed by a US marshal. No one else
413. 14:08was injured. Authorities believe the
414. 14:10suspect was from out of state. We move
415. 14:12on tonight to allegations against the US
416. 14:14ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Gilfoil,
417. 14:16who was once engaged to Donald Trump Jr.
418. 14:18and close to the Trump family. Tonight,
419. 14:20what a former Trump donor now accuses
420. 14:22her of. Here's Jay O'Brien.
421. 14:25She was one of President Trump's most
422. 14:27visible supporters, once engaged to his
423. 14:29son Don Jr. and rewarded for her loyalty
424. 14:32with a plum assignment, ambassador to
425. 14:34Greece. This was Kimberly Gilfoil at the
426. 14:362020 convention. The best is yet to
427. 14:41come.
428. 14:42>> But tonight, Ambassador Gilfoil now
429. 14:44accused of trying to sell access to top
430. 14:46Trump administration officials. The Wall
431. 14:49Street Journal reporting that days
432. 14:50before her confirmation hearing, Gilfoil
433. 14:52urged a Trump donor to pay off her
434. 14:55$100,000 credit card bill, texting,
435. 14:57"Honey, please, I need you to get this
436. 14:59done for me today." We spoke with that
437. 15:02donor, Eric Deeders. She told me that
438. 15:05she needed $100,000 to pay off an
439. 15:08American Express card and if she didn't,
440. 15:12she wasn't going to pass her Senate
441. 15:13confirmation.
442. 15:14>> Did you think that she was asking for
443. 15:17that payment in exchange for something?
444. 15:20>> Oh, absolutely. She was so desperate for
445. 15:23me to send that $100,000. She said, "If
446. 15:26you do this for me," and it's in the
447. 15:27text messages, "I will be your ride or
448. 15:31die in Trump world."
449. 15:33>> Deer says he ultimately didn't make the
450. 15:35payment because he didn't have the
451. 15:36money. Gilfoil, her attorney, and the
452. 15:38State Department did not respond to
453. 15:40multiple requests for comment from ABC
454. 15:42News.
455. 15:44The story breaking the same day
456. 15:46Secretary of State Marco Rubio was
457. 15:48visiting Greece, greeted by Gilfoil with
458. 15:50a hug on the tarmac. The two sitting
459. 15:52side by side at official events. But
460. 15:55Rubio repeatedly refusing to answer
461. 15:57questions about the allegations.
462. 15:58>> I'm not going to comment on a story that
463. 16:00literally posted a few hours ago. It's
464. 16:02just not going to work that way and it
465. 16:03most certainly is not going to work that
466. 16:04way when I'm sitting in another country.
467. 16:06>> Again, David, we've reached out
468. 16:08repeatedly to Ambassador Gilfoil, her
469. 16:09lawyer, and the US embassy in Greece and
470. 16:11we have not heard back. Secretary Rubio
471. 16:14saying the embassy is doing a quote
472. 16:15great job. He called Gilfoil a strong
473. 16:18ambassador. David
474. 16:19>> Jay O'Brien in Washington. Thank you,
475. 16:21Jay. We turn now to the war in Ukraine
476. 16:22tonight. Russia launching a deadly
477. 16:24barrage targeting civilians. In fact, a
478. 16:26glide bomb landing next to two packed
479. 16:28buses and exploding. Let's get right to
480. 16:30our chief foreign correspondent Ian
481. 16:32Panel tonight. Ian.
482. 16:33>> Yeah, David. I think even by the
483. 16:35standards of this war. This was a
484. 16:37devastating attack by Russia. A glide
485. 16:39bomb exploding next to two pack buses in
486. 16:42eastern Ukraine. At least 30 people
487. 16:44killed, 20 wounded. Rescuers there
488. 16:47pouring through the debris. In the past
489. 16:4948 hours alone, more than 60 innocent
490. 16:52Ukrainians have been killed in mounting
491. 16:54Kremlin attacks. And unable to advance
492. 16:57on the front lines, Russia's now ramping
493. 16:59up air strikes day and night on the
494. 17:01capital Kev and other cities. President
495. 17:04Zalinski vowing revenge for this and
496. 17:06pleading with the US for more defensive
497. 17:08missiles. David,
498. 17:10>> horrific images from Ukraine tonight.
499. 17:12Ian, thank you. Tonight in France,
500. 17:13meanwhile, protesters clashing with
501. 17:15police during a second day now of
502. 17:16nationwide demonstrations. Look at this.
503. 17:19In Paris tonight, police in riot gear
504. 17:20using tear gas and water cannons.
505. 17:23Students storming them with steel. More
506. 17:24than 6,000 arrests so far. When we come
507. 17:28back here tonight, the dramatic images.
508. 17:29Look at this. A plane overshooting the
509. 17:31runway, actually crashing down the side
510. 17:34of that cliff right there. Also, the
511. 17:35startling moment tonight that Selene
512. 17:37Dion falls on stage. We do have word on
513. 17:40how she's doing tonight. Look at this
514. 17:42grandmother breaking her own record,
515. 17:44holding this plank right here. And for
516. 17:46how long? You're not going to believe
517. 17:47this. We couldn't. And tonight, the four
518. 17:50astronauts. This was a beautiful site.
519. 17:51The parachutes out. And we'll show you
520. 17:53the dramatic splashdown here right after
521. 17:55the break.
522. 17:57Tonight, dramatic video here of a small
523. 17:59plane crashing down the side of a cliff
524. 18:01in Ecuador after failing to stop on the
525. 18:03runway. The badly damaged plane coming
526. 18:05down on a road, then over that cliff.
527. 18:07Two people on board. They are in stable
528. 18:08condition. A passing tonight. Margaret
529. 18:11Hamilton, the woman who led the team of
530. 18:13programmers at MIT that helped guide the
531. 18:15Apollo missions to the moon, has died.
532. 18:17Her team developed the two 70 lb
533. 18:18computers the astronauts took with them
534. 18:20to help them navigate. Awarded the
535. 18:22Presidential Medal of Freedom by
536. 18:23President Obama. Margaret Hamilton was
537. 18:2590. When we come back here tonight,
538. 18:27you'll see Selene Dion's fall and her
539. 18:29condition tonight. And the grandmother,
540. 18:31she's literally America strong, breaking
541. 18:32her own record, holding this plank. And
542. 18:34for how long? We couldn't believe it. In
543. 18:37just a moment here
544. 18:39to the index of other news, a
545. 18:4161-year-old grandmother breaking her own
546. 18:43record, the longest duration abdominal
547. 18:45plank by a woman. Donna Gene Wild held
548. 18:47the plank for 5 hours at the World
549. 18:49Senior Games. Her old record, four and a
550. 18:51half hours. She started planking
551. 18:53exercises just 12 years ago when she
552. 18:55broke her wrist. We're just a bunch of
553. 18:57slackers here. A graceful recovery
554. 18:59tonight for Selene Dion. She fell on
555. 19:00stage during a concert in Paris last
556. 19:02night, but look at this. She quickly
557. 19:04bounces back to her feet. Dion made her
558. 19:06long-awaited return to the stage last
559. 19:07month. We're glad she's okay tonight.
560. 19:10When we come back here, the beautiful
561. 19:11site today, the four astronauts, the
562. 19:13parachutes out, and we'll show you the
563. 19:15dramatic splashdown in a moment.
564. 19:19Finally, tonight here, splashdown.
565. 19:23It was a beautiful site off the coast of
566. 19:25California today, right near Los
567. 19:26Angeles. The sun shining, the parachutes
568. 19:29[music] opening, four astronauts
569. 19:31returning to Earth after eight months in
570. 19:33space. We have visual confirmation of
571. 19:36splash down.
572. 19:37>> NASA's SpaceX Crew 12 back home tonight,
573. 19:41successfully splashing down in the
574. 19:42Pacific Ocean after 235 days on the
575. 19:45International Space Station. [music]
576. 19:46>> We are so excited to be back on planet
577. 19:48Earth.
578. 19:49>> The crew of four, including two NASA

585. 20:03capsule.
586. 20:04>> There you can see the hatch is being
587. 20:06opened.
588. 20:07>> The astronauts waving as they emerged.
589. 20:09>> The first one to slide back onto Earth.
590. 20:13>> Tonight, returning [music] to Earth
