85
Parts of Iowa bracing for four dangerous nights in a row.

We are looking at damaging wind gusts,

Meteorologist Lee Goldberg joining us now.

And Lee, a dangerous weekend ahead for the middle of the country.
98
And the planes in the Midwest taking aim over the next several days into early next week.
99
Sunday and Monday, probably the biggest day is maybe an outbreak day,
100
one of those two.
101
We're already seeing storms across Texas tonight.
102
That threat tonight goes all the way up to Wisconsin,
103
watching Iowa for a level three out of five risk.
104
Into tomorrow, the threat shifts south and west into eastern Colorado and central Iowa.
105
By Sunday, now we're really ramping it up from north central Oklahoma out to Minnesota.
106
By Monday, another active day with severe storms from north Texas all the way to the western Great Lakes.
107
Watching cities like Wichita and Omaha over to Des Moines.
108
The threat will linger into Tuesday.
109
Heat out ahead of this storm right here in New York,
110
Witt, 90s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
111
Witt.
112
All right, some big changes.
113
Lee Goldberg, we appreciate it.
114
Now to the suspect charged with coordinating 20 terror attacks on American
115
and Jewish targets around the world and also accused of plotting other attacks in California,
116
Arizona and New York.
117
Here's ABC's chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katursky.
118
Tonight, an Iraqi national is in U.S custody accused of orchestrating terror attacks like these,
119
taking aim at American and Jewish targets around the world in retaliation for the war in Iran.
120
Federal prosecutors charging Mohammed al-Sadi with a slew of terror-related crimes,
121
alleging he coordinated 20 terror attacks in Europe and Canada in the last three months and eyed additional attacks in the U.S.,
122
identifying targets in California, Arizona, and New York City.
123
He has been trying to inspire jihad around the world through the Internet.
124
Prosecutors linked al-Sadi to this stabbing in London that left two Jewish men,
125
including an American citizen, seriously injured.
126
Drop the knife!
127
to this attempted arson at Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam,
128
and this firebombing of a synagogue in North Macedonia.
129
Al-Sadi was apprehended this week in Turkey.
130
In court today, he claimed he's a political prisoner being persecuted for his ties to Iranian General Qasem Soleimani,
131
the military commander killed by a U.S airstrike in 2020.
132
He's essentially being subjected to a political prosecution and that he's a prisoner of war and should be treated as such.
133
But with federal prosecutors portrayed al-Sadi as a terrorist mastermind who they said successfully coordinated attacks overseas
134
and paid undercover agents to carry out more attacks in this country.
135
With Aaron Kuturski for us tonight.
136
Thank you.
137
We move on now to President Trump returning from the summit in China where President Xi gave him VIP treatment,
138
including a rare visit to a rose garden inside Communist Party headquarters.
139
But questions remain about what the summit achieved on critical issues like the war in Iran,
140
trade, and the future of Taiwan.
141
Here's ABC's Rachel Skye.
142
President Trump returning to the U.S tonight after China gave him the red carpet treatment.
143
Chinese leader Xi Jinping taking President Trump to the garden of Communist Party headquarters where high government officials live.
144
The president stopping to ask,
145
do other world leaders get this treatment?
146
from other countries, presidents of China, is he doing that?
147
Yes.
148
Very few, Xi responded.
149
It's still extremely rare.
150
Apart from the lavish welcome,
151
it's unclear what President Trump got out of this summit.
152
He had hoped to persuade Xi to pressure China's ally Iran
153
to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Americans grapple with soaring gas prices.
154
We feel very similar to Iran.
155
We want that to end.
156
And we don't want them to have a nuclear weapon.
157
We want the streets open.
158
But Xi made no promise to intervene in the war Trump launched.
159
China's foreign ministry calling it a war that should not have happened.
160
The president claims he made fantastic trade deals that China agreed to buy soybeans and 200 Boeing planes,
161
but no specifics yet.
162
He said, sort of, I think it was a commitment,
163
I mean, you know, sort of like a statement,
164
but I think it was a commitment.
165
It's a great thing.
166
For his part, Xi came to the summit with a warning.
167
The U.S.-China relationship would enter a very dangerous situation if President Trump interferes with China's goal of seizing Taiwan,
168
an independent island democracy.
169
And tonight, President Trump would not say whether he will approve a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan.
170
I'll be making decisions, but you know,
171
I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,500 miles away.
172
Boeing confirms that China agreed to buy those 200 jets,
173
saying they do expect further commitments to follow,
174
but there's still a lot of unanswered questions about this summit as the president arrives back home with.
175
All right, Rachel Scott, thanks so much.
176
We are following more breaking news from Kansas City.
177
An American Airlines flight declaring an emergency.
178
Passengers evacuating on the tarmac.
179
Let's get right to ABC's Matt Rivers.
180
Matt, what more are you learning?
181
Yeah, with passengers evacuating from that American Airlines flight earlier today at Kansas City International Airport.
182
American Eagle Flight 5318 was coming from Washington, D.C.
183
The plane landed safely, but pilots declared an emergency as they landed.
184
The FAA saying the crew reported smoke in the cabin.
185
76 on board, including Congressman Tracy Mann from Kansas,
186
who posted these images of people on the tarmac.
187
Normal operations at the airport have since returned.
188
No one was reported injured in the evacuation.
189
Okay, Matt Rivers, our thanks to you.
190
Now to the new ethics concerns over President Trump seeking payments from government agencies he oversees.
191
Sources tell ABC News that he's expected to make a deal
192
that would create a nearly $2 billion fund to compensate his allies who say they were victimized by the Biden Justice Department.
193
Here's ABC's chief justice correspondent, Pierre Thomas.
194
Tonight, sources tell ABC News President Trump is poised to strike
195
a deal with his own government to settle a $10 billion lawsuit he brought against the IRS.
196
And he plans to use the money to pay allies who claim they were mistreated by what he called the,
197
quote, weaponized Biden Justice Department.
198
A group that could include those who stormed the Capitol on January 6th.
199
Trump filed a lawsuit against the IRS in the early days of his second term,
200
over the leak of some of his tax returns several years before.
201
And he filed for $230 million in claims against the Justice Department for investigating him.
202
He acknowledged the unprecedented situation,
203
an American president suing his own administration.
204
It's interesting because I'm the one that makes a decision, right?
205
And, you know, that decision would have to go across my desk.
206
And it's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself.
207
Tonight, sources telling us
208
that Trump is looking to drop his suit in exchange for
209
the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to settle claims from anyone who says they were wrong by the Biden DOJ.
210
The fund would be run by a commission whose members Trump could fire at any time.
211
It would not be required to disclose how it runs or makes decisions.
212
Today, even some Republican lawmakers stunned.
213
I don't even know how that's allowable to happen.
214
Democrats are calling it a slush fund and grift, financed by taxpayer money.
215
Donald Trump is setting up a $1.7 billion political slush fund for the Proud Boys
216
and the Oath Keepers and his other political lieutenants and hangers-on.
217
And Whit, tonight, the former leader of the Proud Boys is celebrating.
218
And Ricky Tarrio was pardoned by Trump for his involvement in January 6th.
219
Tonight, he's sharing news of the president's proposed fund on social media.
220
Pierre Thomas, thank you.
221
The CDC confirming there are zero Americans diagnosed with Hantavirus from the outbreak on the cruise ship docked in Spain.
222
This includes the passenger who replaced the ship doctor and initially tested positive.
223
He says tests show that he was never infected despite the results.
224
He and 17 others are in quarantine in Nebraska.
225
Health authorities are monitoring 41 Americans overall for the virus,
226
including 16 who were never on that ship.
227
Some potentially exposed to a cruise ship passenger who got on a plane.
228
Next tonight, the U.S could announce an indictment of former Cuban President Raul Castro as soon as next week.
229
The indictment centers on the 1996 shootdown of planes that were operated by the humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue.
230
Tensions are rising as the US oil embargo on Cuba has led to worsening blackouts across the island nation.
231
When we come back, new video of a small plane crashing into a home.
232
The doorbell camera capturing the moment of impact.
233
Plus, a little boy survives and climbs out of a rollover crash,
234
the stern words a deputy had for the driver.
235
And Waymo cars circling a cul-de-sac,
236
the driverless traffic jam that's upsetting neighbors.
237
And the firefighter going the distance for a special bond,
238
a celebration 22 years in the making.
239
Next tonight, jarring new video shows the moment a plane crashed into a home in Akron, Ohio.
240
A doorbell camera captured the fiery crash that sent flames racing through this home on Thursday.
241
Two people in that small plane were killed.
242
The family inside the home made it out safely.
243
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
244
A high-speed police chase takes a shocking turn when a toddler walks away from the scene of a rollover crash.
245
Troopers in Arkansas pulled a maneuver on the road to stop this red car and cause it to overturn right there.
246
Officers approached and a little boy emerged from the back seat running into the trooper's arms.
247
The trooper didn't mince words for the boy's mom.
248
You could have killed your child.
249
Do you understand?
250
That was the stupidest thing you've ever done in your life.
251
Today was the stupidest decision you've ever made.
252
The little boy appeared to be unhurt.
253
His mom is in custody.
254
When we come back, the driverless car is causing headaches.
255
What led to this Waymo traffic jam in one Atlanta neighborhood?
256
To the index now, a judge declared a mistrial in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial.
257
The decision after a jury in Manhattan could not reach a unanimous verdict following three days of deliberations.
258
This was the third time Weinstein was tried on accusations he raped an aspiring actress in a hotel room in 2013.
259
Weinstein's lawyers argued the sexual encounter was consensual.
260
A hearing next month could determine if there will be a fourth trial.
261
Dozens of driverless vehicles on the roam causing a nuisance for neighbors in one Atlanta community.
262
People have spotted one Waymo after another circling this cul-de-sac here and driving back and forth down the same street.
263
Neighbors say at least 50 of these empty cars are rolling through the street at all hours of the day,
264
some clogging the road while trying to turn around.
265
In a statement, Waymo says it has addressed this routing issue.
266
Still ahead, the firefighter who helped deliver a baby 22 years ago going the distance to celebrate a special milestone.
267
Finally tonight, America Strong, 22 years after a firefighter helped deliver a baby,
268
the special bond and the reunion.
269
You're looking at a treasured family photograph,
270
a firefighter holding the baby he helped deliver.
271
The beginning of an incredible decades-long bond.
272
And you're about to see what he's just done for her again all these years later.
273
Back in 2004, Colorado Springs firefighter Alan Kent was responding to a call.
274
Mom Stacey Huddle had gone into early labor at home.
275
Her husband called 911 and firefighter Alan arriving just in time helping deliver baby Chloe.
276
Mom and baby were both okay and a few weeks later they went to the fire station to thank that firefighter.
277
And a special connection, a friendship quickly developed.
278
They would stay in touch.
279
Every single year Chloe would go back to that fire station and celebrate her birthday.
280
That firefighter right by her side.
281
There she is on her fourth birthday.
282
Her fifth birthday, her eighth,
283
tenth, and her fifteenth birthday.
284
Chloe growing before that firefighter's eyes.
285
This year, Chloe, now 22,
286
is graduating college, and firefighter Allen,
287
now retired, was right there again, celebrating the milestone.
288
Linsy, Chloe!
289
Traveling 600 miles to cheer for her on graduation day at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
290
Tonight, Allen telling us he is so proud.
291
She's been an amazing person to follow and watch her grow up,
292
to see the beautiful woman that she is today.
293
I've been honored.
294
It's been a privilege to be part of her family.
295
And joining us too, Chloe,
296
with her message for the firefighter she calls family.
297
Not every kid gets their own firefighter.
298
To have him there for every single milestone,
299
it just shows that promises can be kept over time and that friends can just turn into family.
300
Her own firefighter.
301
Pretty cool.
302
And congratulations.
303
I'm Wade Johnson in New York.
304
Have a great night.

Why practice speaking with this video?

Engaging with news broadcasts like "ABC World News Tonight" provides English learners with a rich tapestry of language in real-world contexts. By practicing speaking with this video, learners can enhance their comprehension and speaking skills simultaneously. The broadcast features a range of topics from serious news reports to lighter human-interest stories, allowing learners to experience varied vocabulary and phrasing that are common in modern English.

Moreover, using news content helps learners understand the rhythm and structure of English, as well as the intonation used during formal announcements or urgent reports. This practice can significantly improve one's ability to respond to news stories, converse confidently about current events, and adapt to the fast pacing of spoken English. By shadowing the speakers, you not only improve pronunciation but also gain insights into how professional broadcasters convey emotion and urgency, which is critical for effective communication.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

As you listen to the broadcast, pay attention to these key structures and expressions used by the speaker:

  • Passive Voice: Phrases like "authorities declaring a mass casualty incident" utilize passive voice to shift focus from the doer to the action itself. This structure is common in news reporting, emphasizing the event rather than the individuals involved.
  • Present Continuous Tense: Expressions such as "the powerful weather system fueling out-of-control wildfires" illustrate ongoing actions. This grammatical form is valuable in reporting current events, helping learners convey actions happening in real-time.
  • Direct Speech: The use of quotes like "sources tell ABC News" allows reporters to add authenticity and credibility to their stories. Practicing this structure can help learners incorporate direct quotes into their own speaking, enhancing engagement and clarity.
  • Conditionals: Sentences like "questions tonight about what the summit achieved" employ vague implications that suggest conditional thinking, prompting discussions about possibilities and outcomes. This is useful for learners to explore hypotheticals in conversation.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While practicing with this video, be mindful of these pronunciation challenges:

  • Mass Casualty Incident: This term requires careful attention to the linking of sounds, particularly in "mass casualty" where the two words blend together. Ensure you practice the stress on the first syllable of "mass" and keep the flow smooth into "casualty."
  • Silo: This word may be tricky due to the silent 'i.' Make sure to pronounce it as "sigh-low," emphasizing clarity to avoid confusion with similarly pronounced words.
  • Weather System: The 'th' in "weather" can be challenging for learners from different linguistic backgrounds. Focus on producing the sound correctly by placing your tongue between your teeth.
  • Evacuation: This word has multiple syllables and can cause stumbling if not practiced. Break it down: "evac-u-a-tion," and practice each syllable separately before speeding up.

By utilizing these strategies and observing the dynamic language used in "ABC World News Tonight," English learners can effectively enhance their speaking skills through focused practice. Dive into the world of "shadowspeak" and "learn English with YouTube" as you join others in this engaging journey of "English speaking practice"!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
