A first look tonight at actor Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen.

From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir.

 

Good evening. We begin tonight here with the breaking news. President Trump in the Situation Room late today with his national security team for a second day in a row now meeting on Iran.

 

01:46 U.S. planning for possible attack as Trump weighs strikes on Iran nuclear facilities

And tonight, a source now telling ABC News the president is getting comfortable with the idea of the U.S. striking Iran's key nuclear facility called Fordo, 300 feet deep under a mountain.

 

The president has not given the final OK. And, of course, it comes as the world watches and wonders, will the U.S. strike Iran?

 

Now, in the Oval Office today, the president saying he is not looking to fight. But that, quote, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, saying if it's a choice between fighting and having a nuclear weapon, you have to do what you have to do.

 

Now, if the president gives the order for the U.S. striking Iran's key nuclear facility deep in that mountain, Fordo, what would this entail?

 

Martha Raddatz standing by with what she's learned tonight. And ABC's chief White House correspondent Mary Bruce leading us off. She's at the White House.

 

Tonight, President Trump gathering his national security team in the Situation Room for the second day in a row. A source familiar with the intelligence tells our Martha Raddatz they think Trump is getting comfortable with the idea of the U.S. striking Iran's key nuclear facility called Fordo, buried 300 feet deep under a mountain.

 

Separately, sources tell ABC News that the president told top advisers he approved of attack plans for Iran, but has not yet decided whether to put them into effect.

 

I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.

I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble.

 

It comes as Israel intensifies its attacks on Iran, a massive plume of smoke billowing near Tehran. The IDF saying it struck at least 60 targets today, including nuclear facilities, missile manufacturing sites and military bases.

 

billow [ˋbɪlo] v.（巨浪）翻腾；波浪似地起伏

 

Trump has demanded Iran's unconditional surrender, but tonight the country's supreme leader defiant.

 

defiant [dɪˋfaɪənt] adj. 違抗的; 藐視的

 

Surrender to what?

The Ayatollah said the Iranian nation cannot be surrendered.

 

ayatollah [͵aɪjəˋtolə] n. 伊朗回教什叶派的宗教领袖

 

We will not accept any kind of submission.

And then this warning to the United States, the damage America will suffer if it makes a military intervention in this field will undoubtedly be irreparable.

 

irreparable [ɪˋrɛpərəb!] adj. 不可弥补的; 无法挽回的

 

The Tucker Carlson expert on Iran. Tonight, the president's own party torn on what to do.

A division on full display in this clash between Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who supports a strike, and Tucker Carlson, who doesn't want America to get involved.

 

How many people living around, by the way?

I don't know the population at all.

 

No, I don't know the population.

You don't know the population of the country you seek to topple?

 

How many people living around?

92 million.

 

Okay.

Yeah.

How could you not know that?

Yeah.

I don't sit around memorizing population tables.

 

Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government.

The president today asked for his message to Americans worried about the U.S. getting involved in another conflict in the Middle East after what they witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Well, I don't want to get involved either, but I've been saying for 20 years, maybe longer, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

 

I've been saying it for a long time.

And I think they were a few weeks away from having one.

 

Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

Too much devastation.

 

And they'd use it.

I believe they'd use it.

 

Others won't use it, but I believe they'd use it.

The big decision facing Trump tonight, whether to drop a 30,000 pound bomb, the largest in America's arsenal, on that Iranian nuclear facility, buried 300 feet under that mountain.

 

The president, who in his last term ended the nuclear deal with Iran that allowed in nuclear inspectors, has been urging Iran to negotiate an end to its nuclear program.

 

Tonight, he says he still hasn't made up his mind on whether the U.S. military should enter the conflict.

I have ideas as to what to do, but I haven't made a final.

 

I'd like to make the final decision one second before it's due, you know, because things change, I mean, especially with war.

Now, the president is still holding out hope for negotiations to end Iran's nuclear program.

 

hold out 表明（有解决办法）;抱有（希望）

 

But again, we've learned that the president has approved of attack plans that have been presented to him.

The bottom line tonight, David, President Trump has not made any final decision on whether the U.S. will strike Iran.

David?

 

Yes, appearing to approve the plan, but not giving the order.

A big distinction here.

 

Mary Bruce leading us off.

Mary, thank you.

 

Let's get right to our chief global affairs correspondent, Martha Raddatz.

Martha, this is your reporting late today.

 

President Trump growing more comfortable, according to your source, with the idea of striking Iran's key nuclear facility deep in that mountain, Fordow.

 

You and I have reported from Iran.

What would this entail?

 

How significant would this be with the U.S. getting involved potentially at this level?

Well, David, I'm told that if that final order is given from President Trump, this would not be a single strike on the Fordow facility.

 

It would be a series of strikes with 30,000 pound penetrator bombs from B-2 stealth bombers.

This comes as the Israelis have discovered additional air defenses in Iran.

 

They had thought as of yesterday they had taken them all out, but discovered that there are more.

So that adds an element of danger.

 

President Trump has also been briefed on security at U.S. bases in the region.

Those 40,000 American troops who would be vulnerable if the U.S. carries out the strike on Fordow and Iran retaliates.

David?

 

Yes, significant concern for the tens of thousands of troops in the region.

Martha Raddatz is with us tonight as well.

 

Martha, thank you.

In the meantime, we turn to the other news tonight.

 

07:17 Karen Read acquitted of murder, found guilty of lesser charge of drunken driving

The murder trial watched by The Nation tonight.

A jury finding Karen Read not guilty of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend.

 

Loud cheers as Karen Read left the courthouse today, stepping up to a microphone.

What she had to say with supporters there, hundreds of them filling the streets outside the courthouse.

 

Look at the images there, jubilant at hearing the verdict in a community divided by this case.

 

jubilant [ˋdʒub!ənt] adj. 欢腾的，喜气洋洋的；令人喜悦的

 

Matt Gutman was right there at the courthouse.

Tonight, that stunning verdict.

 

Not guilty.

A Massachusetts jury finding Karen Read not guilty of second-degree murder, of manslaughter, and of leaving the scene in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe.

 

What say is the defendant at the bar not guilty or guilty?

Not guilty.

 

Not guilty.

So say you, Mr. Foreman.

 

foreman [ˋformən] n. 陪审团主席

 

As word of the verdict reached Read supporters outside the courtroom, the cheers were so loud you could hear it inside the courtroom.

 

The former adjunct professor was found guilty of a single lesser charge of drunk driving and sentenced to a year of probation.

 

adjunct [ˋædʒʌŋkt]adj. 兼职的；副的

lesser [ˋlɛsɚ] adj. 较小的; 次要的

probation [proˋbeʃən] n.【律】緩刑

 

Right now you can hear the cheers of a crowd right there.

Alan Jackson, Karen Read in that light blue suit emerging from the courthouse.

 

Read thanking that throng of supporters in a sea of pink, her favorite color.

 

throng [θrɔŋ] n. 人群；大群

 

I could not be standing here without these amazing supporters who have supported me and my team financially and more importantly emotionally for almost four years.

 

And the second thing I want to say is no one has fought harder for justice for John O'Keefe than I have, than I have and my team.

 

Prosecutors argued it was a cut and dried case, saying Read had rammed her SUV into O'Keefe after a night of drinking and left him to die in a blizzard outside a party that included other law enforcement.

 

cut and dried 預先安排好的; 决定的; 固定的; 已成定局的

 

She was drunk, she hit him and she left him to die.

And they tried using Read's own words from TVinterviews against her.

 

When you walked out of the bar how many drinks had you had?

I had had probably about four.

 

But the defense arguing Reed's car never struck O'Keefe.

 

There was no collision, there was no collision, there was no collision.

 

Suggesting a much more sinister scenario, alleging that O'Keefe was attacked, dragged outside into the blizzard to die and at some point bitten by the family dog.

 

sinister [ˋsɪnɪstɚ] adj. 恶意的，阴险的

 

Just look at John's arm, these are dog bites and scratches.

 

The case dividing the community, pitting neighbor against neighbor about that alleged police cover-up.

 

And at the center of the controversy, lead investigator state trooper Michael Proctor, who'd sent vulgar text messages about Karen Read just hours after he got the case and was later fired after that first trial.

 

vulgar [ˋvʌlgɚ] adj. 粗俗的；下流的；粗鲁的

 

The defense argued the investigation was biased from the start.

 

It was corrupted by a lead investigator whose misconduct infected every single part of this case from the top to the bottom.

 

misconduct [mɪsˋkɑndʌkt] n. 不当行为;失职;滥用职权

 

About the case, an allegation Proctor vehemently denies in a new exclusive interview with 2020.

 

vehemently [ˋviəməntlɪ] adv. 强烈地; 激烈地; 猛烈地

 

Did you plant evidence?

 

plant [plænt] v. 栽（赃）

 

Absolutely not and I'm laughing because it's such a ridiculous accusation.

 

It's something I would have, I would never do, I've never done.

 

You know most people would.

 

And there's no evidence of it.

 

We're talking about people in your community, your neighbors who believe it.

 

This is not strangers, this is people in Canton.

 

Why do you think that is?

 

That's just the loud minority.

 

loud [laʊd] adj.（举止等）招摇的，炫耀的

 

The silent majority have, we've had an overwhelming amount of support.

 

They're just not out there tweeting.

 

David of course, Karen Read convicted on that lesser charge of DUI, basically driving under the influence and sentenced to a year of probation.

 

But she is not out of the legal woods yet.

 

The family of John O'Keefe filing a wrongful death civil suit against her.

 

And I spoke to them earlier today, they say that they are resilient and they'll keep fighting.

 

David.

 

Matt Gutman right there in Dedham tonight.

 

Matt, thank you.

 

And this evening, Matt, we'll have much more on a special edition of 2020, Karen Reed, the verdict, breaking details, new reporting here inside this case and of course the reaction.

 

Exclusive interviews, that's 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 Central, a special edition of 2020 right here on ABC and of course streaming tomorrow on Hulu.

This sports complex nearby heavily damaged.

Another funnel spotted in Petersburg.

 

Our affiliate WRTV tracking dangerous storms bearing down on Indianapolis right during rush hour.

This is a very, very strong line of storms that has a lot of wind.

Overnight, massive supercells looming over Oklahoma City, 10 reported tornadoes across six states along with 80 mile an hour winds and flash flooding in parts of Kansas.

 

supercell 超级单体

 

Chicago skyline lit up with a triple lightning strike.

In Northwest Arkansas, a reported tornado tearing the roofs off multiple homes and a farm in the town of Highfill early this morning.

 

And David, that system is now tracking toward the East Coast, severe storms in the forecast from D.C. to Philadelphia to right here in New York City tomorrow.

 

David tracking it right here in New York.

Morgan, thank you.

 

Let's get right to Chief Meteorologist Lee Goldberg of our New York station W.A.B.C. tracking it all for us again tonight.

Hi, Lee.

Hi, David.

 

Some of those tornadoes in Illinois, rain, rapid, dangerous.

Make sure those mobile alerts are on.

 

Still some rain in Chicago and a flood watch, but the severe threat runs from Detroit to Cincinnati with a severe thunderstorm watch.

 

Still a tornado watch in Louisville.

There's a tornado warned storm north of Canton, Ohio.

 

More showers in the northeast toward New York City and down toward D.C. where there's a flood watch.

That's in response to higher humidity and more heat.

 

That's where we have storms tomorrow.

Same front from New England, New York City, Philly, D.C., down to Raleigh.

 

Damaging winds, large hail, even isolated tornadoes.

That's late in the afternoon and evening.

 

This is the gateway to the higher heat.

 

gateway [ˋget͵we] n. 入口处；门户；通道

 

It's a flip of the pattern in the east.

 

flip [flɪp] n. 翻转

 

It's heat to start summer.

Feel like ratings over 100.

 

Definitely some weather whiplash in the northeast.

 

whiplash [ˋhwɪplæʃ] n. 打击

 

David?

No question about that.

It's been raining for weeks and now intense heat moving in.

Lee Goldberg, thank you.

 

14:01 Supreme Court upholds ban on transgender treatments for minors

We turn next tonight to the Supreme Court's major ruling today on transgender care for minors.

 

For the first time, the justice is weighing in on a state law banning treatments for transgender youth.

The court upholding the ban.

 

David Dwyer covers the court for us. Tonight, the Supreme Court's conservative majority upholding Tennessee's ban on some gender affirming medical care for transgender minors, clearing the way for 24 states to continue enforcing similar bans.

 

transgender [trænzˈdʒendɚ] adj. 变性的

 

In the 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts citing evolving science and profound implications, rejecting the argument that denying trans kids access to puberty blockers and hormone therapy amounts to sex discrimination.

 

evolving [ɪˋvɑlvɪŋ] adj. 进化的

puberty [ˋpjubɚtɪ] n. 青春期

 

Roberts writing the issue should be left to the people, their elected representatives, and the democratic process.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined by liberal justices Kagan and Jackson dissented in sadness, writing the court's decision inflicts untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them.

 

dissent [dɪˋsɛnt] v. 不同意，持异议

 

What they are saying is that trans people do not fall within the sex discrimination classification, that you can legally discriminate against trans people.

 

The sponsor of the Tennessee ban praising the court's decision.

The court affirmed what we believe, and that is that states do have a compelling interest to protect kids.

 

I won't say I'm optimistic.

LW, a trans teen who brought the case and asked us not to show her face, told us last year she'll keep pursuing the treatments in another state because they changed her life.

 

I think really the big difference was when I got on hormones, that was incredibly helpful.

David, an estimated 100,000 transgender teens and their families live in states where those treatments are banned, but today's ruling has no impact in other states where gender-affirming care for minors remains legal.

 

David.

All right, ABC's Devin Dwyer, who covers the Supreme Court.

Devin, thank you.

She would soon marry Alex Kearns, and afterward, the father-daughter dance.

But what her father did not know is that she had gone through the old family videos they had.

 

go through 仔细察看; 仔细检查; 仔细审查

 

Regan, how old are you?

Finding home videos of the two of them together when she was a little girl.

 

And then something long forgotten, something recorded more than 50 years ago.

It was an old country song her family would sing together.

 

She saved it for her wedding day, knowing she would be dancing with her father.

And just listen, as she plays the song, he had no idea that song was ever recorded.

 

And that voice right there is her great-grandfather Noble, her father's grandfather, singing.

And then two more voices, his own mother, her grandmother Lana, and then a very young voice, her own father as a toddler when he was three years old.

 

He was singing too.

This has been a family tradition for decades.

 

And right here tonight, that proud father of the bride.

Folks will begin to maybe record those special moments today and realize how special they'll be three years down the road.

 

And tonight, joining us too.

Hi, David.

 

That new bride, Regan.

We certainly feel very blessed in the riches of our family love, and we appreciate you spreading the positivity.

 

Thanks so much.

Well, thank you.

 

The power of a song all those years ago.

I'll see you tomorrow.

 

Good night.

Thank you for making World News Tonight with David Muir, America's most watched newscast.
