02:30 Severe storms trigger tornadoes, damage structures in the Midwest and Southeast

 

Good evening, and it's great to have you with us here in a very busy Thursday night. We'll have more on this break in it.

 

Actor Brad Pitt's home smashing their way in the latest in a series of high profile break-ins were live on the scene. But we do begin tonight with these severe thunderstorms. The watch right now for New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D. C. Storms moving in just as the heat moves out.

 

break-in 闯入

 

There was also a tornado watch in the Midwest. At this hour, the radar showing the extreme weather that severe storm watch in the east and the tornado watch for several states right in the middle of the country. In fact, remarkable scenes already.

 

This is Largo, Florida. A tornado lifting this home right up off its foundation in the air for a time. It tips over on its side.

 

That home remarkably comes back down a 76 year old woman inside the home. She survived this.

 

And a tornado in southern Minnesota, one of 15 reported tornadoes already.

 

And in the northeast. Right now, this severe thunderstorm watch.

 

Lee Goldberg standing by live with the forecast and Stephanie Ramos with the remarkable images coming in tonight.

 

Tonight after tornadoes lifted homes into the air and tore across farmland.

 

Powerful storms again on the move, firing up in the northern plains, and you can see where the green skies sirens sounding outside our Rochester, Minnesota affiliate as K. A. L. S. Robin Wolfram broadcast live. And of course, we're under a tornado warning. We want you to be safe.

 

Be sure to get to your basements. Take cover. Overnight a massive tornado southwest of Rochester, tearing across Heartland, Minnesota.

 

Watch as it crosses this road right in front of drivers and in Largo, Florida, west of Tampa.

 

Unbelievable video from a security camera in the Renteria Village retirement community. The tornado lifting that home all the way up, hanging in the air before it comes crashing back down to the ground.

 

Authorities say a 76 year old woman was inside at the time, miraculously surviving.

 

Authorities say at least 50 homes were damaged in the area.

 

And David, as those storms make their way into the northeast, the temperatures are plummeting here in New York City.

 

Yesterday afternoon, it was 96 degrees. Today, upper sixties, nearly a 30 degree difference. David.

 

upper [ˋʌpɚ] adj.（位置或水平）较高的

 

Will take the change. Stephanie Ramos with us tonight. Steph, thank you.

 

Let's get right to chief meteorologist Lee Goldberg of W. A. B. C. Back with us tonight.

 

A big change indeed, but it does come with some really unsettled weather these next few hours.

 

Yes, David Storms just 90 miles to our south in Philly right now. Some severe thunderstorms closing in on the city.

 

It's been midsummer extreme heat to mid May temperatures in parts of the northeast, and that's why you have this potent front causing big storms.

 

Severe thunderstorm watch from Philly to D. C. These storms could produce 60 mile per hour gusts, maybe even some quarter size hail. They'll diminish in the evening hours.

 

A tornado watch in similar places we saw yesterday near Rochester over into La Crosse, Wisconsin. That's Rochester, Minnesota.

 

So these storms wind down, but there's still a lot of heat from the Mississippi, the mid Atlantic, even an extreme heat warning in West Virginia.

 

wind down 进展慢下来

 

Triple digit heat from Memphis to Nashville all the way to D. C. Now that cool pocket is very strong over the northeast. It will tone down some of this heat. Look at what's going on.

 

tone down 缓和; 减轻

 

A massive drop in Boston in New York, barely 70 tomorrow. It'll warm up again over the weekend, but not to the degree that we just saw David.

 

Lee. We always appreciate it.

 

Thank you.

This is the latest in a series of high profile break-ins. This time it happened while Brad Pitt was known to be away promoting his new movie. Trevor Ault is on the scene for us.

smash through: to collide with and break through something with great, violent force.

 

It was not home at the time. The star has been on the road promoting his new movie F1 seen here at the London premiere earlier this week. Police say the suspects ransacked the star's home with an unknown number of items taken.

 

premiere [prɪˋmjɛr] n. 初次上演

ransack[ˋrænsæk] v. 彻底搜索，仔细搜查；洗劫，抢劫，掠夺

 

Investigators are now searching for any surveillance video from the home and the area. The break-in is the latest in a series of alarming crimes at the homes of Hollywood's biggest stars.

 

Just last month, police say a man smashed his vehicle through the gate at Jennifer Aniston's property while the actress was home and he was detained by private security.

 

Nicole Kidman's house was burglarized in February. Tom Hanks was victimized last year. And David, this is the gate that police say these suspects scaled to get up to the house.

 

burglarize [ˋbɝglə͵raɪz] v.【美】破门盗窃；撬窃

 

It's not clear if Brad Pitt was targeted here specifically or if they simply thought this was just another luxury home. David, the latest in a series of break-ins Trevor Ault on the scene for us tonight. Trevor, thank you.

 

07:18 Mysterious "fireball" over Southeast possibly caused by meteor or space junk, officials believe

 

Now to the remarkable images, the mystery fireball over multiple states calls to 911 in several states.

 

In fact, some drivers startled by a bright light streaking across the sky, some reporting shaking and hearing a boom.

 

Was it a meteor or space junk? What the National Weather Service is now saying tonight, a piece of it came crashing through someone's roof, cracking the floor inside their home.

 

Here's ABC's Victor Oquendo.

 

Tonight, this stunning sight caught on cameras across the southeast, a bright white fireball streaking across the sky, part of it crashing down to earth.

 

Witnesses from Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and as far west as Tennessee reported sightings around noon.

 

911 call centers inundated, some hearing a loud boom saying they even felt shaking and thought it was an earthquake.

 

Late today, the National Weather Service saying it appears either a meteor or space junk crossed the skies of north Georgia.

 

Emergency officials in Henry County, Georgia outside Atlanta believe a piece of that object may have crashed through a resident's roof smashed through the ceiling before cracking the floor.

 

You can see the hole and the damage left behind Kathryn Farr capturing it on dash cam video while driving down I-85 in Anderson County, South Carolina.

 

That ball of fire falling in clear blue skies.

 

I think it's just like a once in a lifetime experience. You know, it's really, really cool to see, but just definitely out the ordinary.

 

David, while it was a startling site for sure, thousands of meteorites hit earth every year. No injuries reported tonight, David.

 

meteorite [ˋmitɪər͵aɪt] n. 陨石

 

But can you imagine that family that it came right through the roof of that home? Victor Oquendo tonight, Victor.

 

Thank you.

 

08:56 Strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites had “devastating effect,” Hegseth says

 

Next tonight here, the U. S. Strikes on Iran and now this heated debate over the damage from those attacks tonight, the Pentagon with new details and the Defense Department also revealing they've been studying this plan of a possible strike on Iran for 15 years now saying those 30,000 pounds bombs exploded exactly as planned.

 

Tonight President Trump now insisting Iran did not remove its enriched uranium, even though early intelligence indicated much of it might have been moved.

 

While Iran's supreme leader tonight is saying the White House is exaggerating the damage at those nuclear sites.

 

Here's Rachel Scott.

 

Tonight, the Trump administration dispatching the Secretary of Defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to pump up the president's claim that the U. S. Strikes obliterated Iran's nuclear program.

 

pump up 为 .. 打气

 

Secretary Pete Hegseth angrily dismissing an early Pentagon intelligence report that sources say indicates the attack only set back Iran's program a few months.

 

Anyone with, uh, you know, to hear two eyes, some ears and a brain can recognize that kind of firepower with that specificity at that location and others is gonna have a devastating effect.

 

Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine insisted recent intelligence assessments show the sites were severely damaged but offered no new evidence or intelligence to indicate Iran's nuclear program was in fact destroyed.

 

Caine saying that's a question for America's spy agencies. Instead, offering new details about the intricate attack, he says, had been discussed and strategized for 15 years over the course of several administrations.

 

The weapons were built, tested and loaded properly to the weapons were released on speed and on parameters.

 

Three. The weapons all guided to their intended targets and to their intended aim points.

 

The general adding the massive bunker buster bombs exploded exactly as planned.

 

We know that the trailing jets saw the first weapons function and the pilots stated quote, this was the brightest explosion that I've ever seen. It literally looked like daylight.

 

The early intelligence report indicated Iran removed much of its stash of near weapons grade uranium before the strike.

 

stash [stæʃ] n. 藏匿物

 

Today, the president insisting that's not true, posting nothing was taken out of facility would take too long, too dangerous and very heavy and hard to move.

 

And tonight new questions about the president's claims that Iran and the U. S. would be meeting next week.

 

We're going to talk to them next week with Iran.

 

We may sign an agreement. I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary.

 

But today, the White House press secretary says there is no meeting on the books.

 

We don't have anything scheduled as of now. What is the hold up here in trying to schedule it? Are you experiencing any resistance from the Iranians? No, have some patience.

 

hold up 延误

 

Today in Iran, the supreme leader sounding defiant in his first public statement since the attack, claiming the U. S. failed to achieve anything significant and adding Trump quote, grossly exaggerated.

 

grossly [ˋgroslɪ] adv. 非常；下流地

 

Today, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog said Ferdow, which is Iran's most important nuclear facility, suffered enormous damage and it was no longer operational.

 

But they stopped short of saying that it has been completely obliterated, as President Trump has suggested. David.

 

stop short of 不愿超越行动上的某种界限; 不愿逾矩

 

Rachel Scott on this all week for us. Rachel, thank you.

 

12:15 Prosecutors give closing arguments in Sean Combs trial, say mogul used "power, violence and fear"

 

Here in New York City, the prosecution's closing argument against Sean Diddy Combs today, telling jurors it was all a climate of fear.

 

What the defense now plans to say in its closing argument and jurors could get this case tomorrow. Here's Aaron Katersky.

 

Tonight, after a sprawling seven-week case, federal prosecutors tried to tie together all the evidence against Sean Combs, telling the eight-men four-women jury it's time to find the defendant guilty.

 

His mother, twin daughters and sons filing into the courthouse, where prosecutors delivered a nearly five-hour summation, saying Combs used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted and forced two women, Cassie Ventura and an ex girlfriend known by the pseudonym Jane to have sex with male escorts while he watched, directed and filmed.

 

file [faɪl] v. 排成纵列行进

 

summation [sʌmˋeʃən] n.【律】（裁判前）法庭辩论的总结

 

Jurors saw graphic footage of those encounters and heard gripping testimony about hundreds of them. But today, a prosecutor said one single freak off is enough.

 

gripping [ˋgrɪpɪŋ] adj. 吸引住人的

freak off: a highly disturbing and illicit type of gathering

 

You only need to find the elements of sex trafficking are met on one occasion.

 

Combs has denied charges of sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution and racketeering conspiracy prosecutors pointing to allegations of arson, drugs and the bribery of a hotel security guard following this 2016 assault of Cassie Ventura. As proof, Combs ran a criminal enterprise with a cadre of loyal lieutenants.

 

cadre [ˈkædrɪ] n. 骨架；核心

lieutenant [luˋtɛnənt] n. an assistant with power to act when his superior is absent

 

It's his kingdom. Everyone was there to serve him.

 

Defense attorneys will deliver their closing arguments tomorrow, David.

 

They called no witnesses during trial. Instead, arguing Cassie Ventura and Jane were not trafficking victims, but long term girlfriends who willingly took part in Combs’ polyamorous lifestyle. David

 

polyamorous [ˌpɑliˈæmərəs] adj. 開放式戀愛的; 開放式性關係的; 多重伴侣关系的

 

Aaron Katersky has been covering this trial for us, Aaron.

 

Thank you.
