Why would this be a good thing?

53
It's going to relieve pressure.
54
We want the pressure relieved out of that tank.
55
He goes on to explain there could still be an explosion,

82
The outbreak in Central Africa rising rapidly.
83
The Democratic Republic of Congo now has more than 900 reported cases,
84
according to local authorities, and 10 countries also considered at high risk for an outbreak.
85
Health officials sounding the alarm.
86
It will be a big mistake to underestimate, especially with this strain.
87
In the middle of those 10 countries,
88
the Democratic Republic of Congo,
89
where there are more than 115 deaths reported to be Ebola-related.
90
In the Congo city of Bunia,
91
where the outbreak originated,
92
Health officials say there are several challenges slowing down efforts of trying to contain this rare strain of Ebola.
93
People traveling from region to region and also the ongoing violence.
94
The security in part of Eturi remains really fragile.
95
And this is because of the presence of armed groups and recurring intercommunal tensions.
96
Ebola is a virus that caused a person to bleed to death,
97
and this strain has no vaccine or specific treatment.
98
Health officials in the DRC have banned gatherings of more than 50 people.
99
But in Bunia, locals attending Sunday mass like Ronald Safari says he and other churchgoers are taking precautions.
100
Just because this disease exists,
101
he says, doesn't mean they can close a church.
102
And as the U.S inches closer to the start of the FIFA World Cup,
103
multiple countries now with travel restrictions in place, including the United States.
104
The U.S saying U.S citizens who have been to the DRC,
105
Uganda or South Sudan must now head to airports in Virginia and Atlanta for health screenings.

Lindsay.

Lama, thank you.
117
President Trump is renewing calls for a White House ballroom after a deadly shooting near the White House gates on Saturday.
118
The president was at the White House during the shooting.
119
ABC's senior White House correspondent Selena Wang was on the scene and has the details.
120
Hours after Secret Service agents shot and killed a suspect who opened fire just steps from the White House,
121
Tonight, President Trump using the incident to renew his calls for the construction of the White House ballroom.
122
Trump was in the Oval Office with his aides as a
123
gunman approached a security checkpoint on Saturday night with a gun and started firing.
124
Everybody, help!
125
Move!
126
Medic 1, respond for a shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest.
127
The president,
128
who is facing backlash from even within his own party for his $1 billion request in taxpayer money for the White House complex,
129
saying it goes to show how important it is for all
130
future presidents to get what will be the most safe and secure space of its kind ever built in Washington, D.C.
131
Officials say the suspect has a history of incidents involving the White House.
132
He encountered law enforcement in June 2025 for blocking a point of entry at the White House.
133
He was detained and involuntarily committed for a mental evaluation.
134
One month later, he was arrested after he attempted to enter a White House checkpoint.
135
Court records showing a judge ordered he stay away from White House grounds.
136
I was meters away preparing to go live at the White House North Lawn when I heard a flurry of shots fired.
137
Close only for the two sides to remain far apart.
138
We have to evacuate.
139
We have to evacuate.
140
Reporters sprinting over to the press briefing room as officers fired back, killing the suspect.
141
Lindsay, no Secret Service personnel were injured in the incident,
142
but a bystander was struck by gunfire.
143
D.C police say that person remains in the hospital for treatment for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
144
Lindsay?
145
Some harrowing incidents there once again.
146
Selena, thank you.
147
Now to the flash flood threat across several states as rounds of rain sweep across the east.
148
Time-lapse video captured these storm clouds gathering in northeast Alabama.
149
That same system flooded streets and neighborhoods south of Houston.
150
Let's bring in meteorologist Danny Beckstrom from our New York station, WABC.
151
Danny, what concerns you most about this?
152
That growing flash flood risk, Lindsay.
153
We've seen days of downpours all across the east.
154
The ground is saturated, but heavy rain does not let up from Louisiana to West Virginia.
155
So let's get to the maps here.
156
You can see the rain still falling.
157
We have flood watches posted from New Orleans up through Atlanta,
158
even as far north as West Virginia tonight as the downpours continue.
159
Now, as we move into tomorrow,
160
that flood threat focuses on the south,
161
where the northeast gets one more push of moisture in the morning before finally some recovery as we warm up
162
and dry out in the afternoon.
163
For the west and for the heartland,
164
we're looking at mainly dry conditions.
165
It's quite warm, near record highs for the northern plains.
166
As we move into the week,
167
though, that heat does shift east,
168
so we're unofficially welcoming summer tomorrow,
169
and it will feel like it by Tuesday from Detroit to New York.
170
Glad to hear that for all of us in the Northeast.
171
All right, Danny, thank you.
172
Honors tonight for NASCAR legend Kyle Busch.
173
The 41-year-old died suddenly on Thursday,
174
devastating family, friends, and fans.
175
Let's bring in ABC's Andrew Dimbert.
176
Andrew, tell us about these honors that have been taking place all weekend.
177
Lindsay, the racing world is honoring the late NASCAR legend Kyle Busch today on what's known as racing's biggest day,
178
that being the Sunday before Memorial Day with emotional tributes at both the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600.
179
At Indy, the track's scoring pylon lit up on lap 18,
180
a tribute to the number Bush made iconic for years.
181
Driver Romain Grosjean also changed the look of his car to match Bush's famous number font.
182
Down in Charlotte, the mood just as somber.
183
Richard Childress Racing retiring Bush's number eight this weekend.
184
Known to fans as Rowdy,
185
Bush won more than 230 races across NASCAR's top three series
186
and leaves behind a legacy many are calling once in a generation.
187
Today, his family being honored by NASCAR in a tribute before the Coca-Cola 600.
188
Bush died Thursday at the age of 41 after a severe pneumonia turned into sepsis,
189
according to his family, Lindsay.
190
And our heart does go out to his family.
191
Andrew, thank you.
192
Now to the negotiations to end the three-month-old war with Iran.
193
After saying just yesterday that a deal could be near,
194
today President Trump is saying significant differences remain and he won't rush into a deal.
195
ABC's chief foreign correspondent Ian Pannell reports tonight from Tel Aviv.
196
24 hours after saying a deal to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz was close,
197
President Trump now saying he won't rush into a deal as significant differences remain.
198
President Trump writing on social media that the deal that he promised just yesterday isn't even fully negotiated yet.
199
If I make a deal with Iran,
200
it'll be a good and proper one,
201
not like the one made by Obama,
202
which gave Iran massive amounts of cash and a clear and open path to a nuclear weapon,
203
Trump wrote on social media.
204
Earlier today, a senior administration official telling ABC News there'll be a limited interim agreement
205
that would include opening the Strait of Hormuz and an end to the US blockade.
206
The official saying there'll also be commitment from the Iranians to negotiate the removal of their stockpile of highly enriched uranium.
207
But Iranian state media saying the draft agreement doesn't have any nuclear commitments.
208
Intelligence sources telling ABC News that despite the bombing,
209
Iran retains the ability to enrich uranium,
210
one of the many pre-war goals that hasn't been reached.
211
Meanwhile, an Israeli official telling ABC News the emerging US-Iran deal appears to be bad,
212
and a source familiar with the situation saying there's serious concern
213
and disappointment in the Prime Minister's office over the US deal with Iran.
214
Lindsay, as you heard there,
215
it now appears that significant differences still remain between the two sides,
216
despite the administration talking about the possibility of a deal.
217
And tonight, Iranian state media saying negotiators there have no trust in the U.S.
218
Lindsay?
219
Ian, and we know that the president is also trying repeatedly to end the war between Russia and Ukraine,
220
but any sign of a slowdown in attacks there?
221
Yeah, I mean, we're seeing large-scale aerial bombardments by Russia now,
222
with a massive attack on Ukraine,
223
with hundreds of drones and missiles,
224
including its new hypersonic Oreshnik missile,
225
leaving four dead and almost 100 injured.
226
Now, Russia's defence ministry saying the attack was a response to Ukrainian strikes in Russia,
227
with the death toll from that strike on a student dormitory Friday now 21.
228
Ukraine, for its part, denies hitting civilian sites.
229
I think there's no doubt that both are ramping up their strike capabilities,
230
and despite the president promising to end the war within 24 hours,
231
there's no sign of a deal at hand.
232
Lindsay?
233
Ian reporting for us in Tel Aviv.
234
Thank you.
235
Turning now to Turkey, where police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at supporters of the main opposition party.
236
This marked a violent end to a multi-day standoff in the capital of Turkey after an appeals court removed the party's leadership.
237
Footage shows officers storming the headquarters to evict the ousted leader and his barricaded supporters.
238
Now to a frightening scene in South Carolina.
239
At least 19 people were injured at a stampede at a bike festival.
240
It happened early Sunday morning.
241
And ABC's Morgan Norwood has the new details coming in tonight.
242
As millions flock to America's coastline for Memorial Day weekend,
243
panic playing out at Atlantic Beach, South Carolina.
244
We have large crowds gathering and forming.
245
A massive crowd suddenly surging near a concert stage,
246
sending hundreds running and triggering a stampede.
247
We have an individual reporting they've been trampled.
248
The incident unfolding during the concert as Atlantic Beach hosts its annual Black Pearl Cultural Heritage an cultural heritage and bike
249
drawing hundreds of thou situation escalating so qu fire rescue,
250
declaring it at least 19 injured,
251
sever hospital tonight, town of no confirmed fights,
252
wep threats to public safety.
253
The chaos happened when one person started running,
254
sparking a chain reaction they say lasted only seconds before law enforcement showed up and restored order.
255
Lindsay?
256
Morgan, thank you.
257
A dramatic cave rescue in upstate New York.
258
A man pinned for hours in a narrow crevice, unable to move.
259
It was 50 degrees inside the cave with 100% humidity.
260
He developed hypothermia.
261
State forest rangers feared it would take days to free him,
262
but they managed to do so in a matter of hours.
263
ABC's Rena Roy joins us now.
264
Rena?
265
Lindsay, this was a delicate mission.
266
It took rescuers more than six hours to get that man to safety.
267
And now we're getting a look at what exactly they were dealing with.
268
You can see the hiker stuck inside Merlin's cave approximately 400 feet from the entrance.
269
This is in the rural upstate town of Canaan, New York.
270
Officials say he was crawling through the cave when he slipped into
271
that tight crevice wedged by his ribcage and pelvis, becoming hypothermic.
272
rescuers trying to remove him on their own,
273
but they ended up needing a hammer drill to get rid of some of that rock first.
274
Rangers say that man did remain calm,
275
but was low on energy.
276
He was given warm fluids and food at one point,
277
high-fiving the crew for a job well done.
278
Lindsay.
279
All right.
280
So glad to hear that, Rena.
281
Thank you.

At Independence Village of Naperville,

Illinois, a group of teens from Atiyah Valley High School set out to surprise 100-year-old World War II veteran, Race Vanoha.

My girls.

Shortly after arriving at the school,

Ray was on the dance floor.
