[0:00] Welcome back everyone. Being a single

[0:02] mom these days has become accepted, even

[0:05] celebrated. But that hasn't always been

[0:07] the case. In the days before, single

[0:09] motherhood was socially acceptable. More

[0:11] than one and a half million young women

[0:13] were coerced or forced into giving up

[0:15] their babies simply because they had no

[0:17] husband. In our GMA playback this

[0:19] morning, Robin Roberts tells their

[0:21] stories.

[0:24] Jennifer Yurfest was the shining star in

[0:27] a tight-knit family. a good student and

[0:29] member of the church choir, the youngest

[0:31] of four siblings growing up happily in

[0:33] the 1960s in a small beach town in

[0:35] Florida. When she found out she was

[0:37] pregnant at the age of 15, her vision of

[0:39] a bright future was shattered.

[0:42] >> I was sort of numb. I I believed that it

[0:46] couldn't happen to me.

[0:47] >> With the denial came shame. At that

[0:50] time, an unwed pregnant girl was a mark

[0:51] on the perfect family. I felt um very

[0:55] guilty and and responsible for their

[0:59] trauma.

[1:00] >> She wanted to get married and keep the

[1:02] baby, but both parents decided she and

[1:04] her boyfriend were too young. So, being

[1:06] a good girl, she agreed to give up her

[1:08] baby for adoption. She was forced to go

[1:10] away and keep her pregnancy a secret.

[1:14] Leslie Mcin, an outgoing, popular

[1:16] teenager in Atlanta, shared the same

[1:18] secret. She also became pregnant the

[1:20] summer after graduating from high school

[1:22] and was sent to a Catholic maternity

[1:24] home in Alabama, a place where unwed

[1:27] pregnant girls went away from the prying

[1:29] eyes of society. The nuns told her she

[1:31] was doing the right thing.

[1:33] >> The phrase that was always told to me

[1:35] was, "My child would be called a bastard

[1:38] on the playground if I tried to keep

[1:40] it."

[1:41] >> Both women bonded with their unborn

[1:43] children and fear the day they would

[1:44] give birth and lose them forever. When

[1:46] Leslie's time came, she faced the

[1:48] hospital alone.

[1:50] >> I wasn't allowed to be in the maternity

[1:52] ward because only married women could be

[1:54] in the maternity ward. So, I had to

[1:56] labor out in the hallway.

[1:57] >> As soon as I delivered my baby, as soon

[1:59] as he was out of my body, he was he was

[2:00] gone. He wasn't mine.

[2:02] >> Their final moments together were

[2:04] heartbreaking.

[2:04] >> I would try to talk to him and tell him

[2:06] why I had to do what I was going to do.

[2:09] Um,

[2:11] and the last time I saw him, I got to

[2:15] christen him.

[2:16] >> Surrendering

[2:18] Chris and leaving him in the at the home

[2:23] felt like I was leaving part of me. Um,

[2:25] and I was my, you know, half of my soul,

[2:28] my spirit stayed there.

[2:30] >> Returning to their lives, they were told

[2:32] never to speak of their pregnancy and

[2:34] children again. Though years later, both

[2:36] mothers reunited with their sons. Yet

[2:38] the loss and shame never went away.

[2:41] >> There's a part of me that has a

[2:45] beautiful full life. And there's another

[2:48] part of me, the birth mother part, who's

[2:50] still in shock, still horrified.

[2:55] And that's the part of me that's over in

[2:57] the corner wailing.

[3:01] My goodness. We're joined now by Anne

[3:03] Fesler, author of the book The Girls Who

[3:05] Went Away. I know this book is bringing

[3:07] a lot of people and a lot of people

[3:09] comfort. Good to see you.

[3:11] >> It's hard for especially young people

[3:12] today to think, oh, was that such a an

[3:15] ordeal? Describe that era. It was it it

[3:19] becoming pregnant outside of marriage in

[3:21] the 50s and 60s uh was considered the

[3:23] worst thing a girl could do. she had

[3:25] gotten herself in trouble was the phrase

[3:28] and uh it would bring terrible shame on

[3:31] the family and uh the families had to

[3:34] get their daughters out of town as soon

[3:35] as possible if they were middle class

[3:37] families. Uh they worried about uh what

[3:40] would happen and how has this I mean you

[3:42] talked to so many women for for your

[3:45] book. How has this stayed with them

[3:48] through their lives? Oh, well that's

[3:50] that's one of the other myths is that

[3:52] women surrendered their children and

[3:53] they moved on and and forgot and had

[3:55] other children. But in fact, uh for most

[3:58] of the women I've interviewed, they've

[3:59] had tremendous guilt and grief and shame

[4:02] their entire life. And the shame wasn't

[4:04] about getting pregnant. The shame was

[4:05] about not fighting hard enough to keep

[4:07] their child.

[4:07] >> Most of them were going to to homes

[4:09] where they were wanted these babies. Uh

[4:11] that's right. Now on on the other side,

[4:14] there are some women that you talk to

[4:15] and some people who say that while it

[4:18] was not their decision,

[4:20] >> that perhaps it was the right decision

[4:22] for some of these these girls who went

[4:24] away.

[4:25] >> Well, that's you know, it's really

[4:26] unknown because you can't know what

[4:28] would have happened if they had not um

[4:30] you know, surrendered. And uh some women

[4:33] I talked to did feel that uh given the

[4:35] social stigma of the time, given the

[4:37] economics, women's wages were very low.

[4:40] So it was very difficult for a woman to

[4:42] raise a child on her own that given

[4:44] those circumstances they feel it was the

[4:46] best thing to do but it doesn't make it

[4:48] hurt any less.

[4:48] >> No it doesn't. And you can't forget what

[4:50] they the emotional ordeal that they all

[4:52] went through.

[4:53] >> You're an adoptee adoptee. Yes.

[4:56] >> From this period of time.

[4:57] >> From this period of time. You've talked

[4:58] to your birth brother.

[4:59] >> I have. I've met her and we spent one

[5:01] day together. But like so many of the

[5:03] women that I have communicated with

[5:05] along the way, she's still keeping her

[5:07] secret. So, she had to sneak away for

[5:09] the day to meet me. Um, and her

[5:12] subsequent children do not know, nor do

[5:14] any of her brothers or sisters know that

[5:16] that I exist.

[5:17] >> But, you know, I know. Yes. I'm the only

[5:19] living person that knows. Yeah.

[5:21] >> And thank you for sharing this. And

[5:23] again, you're bringing so many comfort

[5:24] to to these women and to the adopes as

[5:26] well.

[5:27] >> Robin Roberts with our GMA playback

[5:29] segment. And when we come back here in a

[5:31] moment, we will look at the youngest

[5:32] victims of war. You are watching World

[8:41] They may not be the target of bombs in

[8:43] the Middle East, but they account for

[8:45] many of their victims. For the children

[8:47] in Lebanon and Israel, memories of this

[8:50] week's this week's old war will last a

[8:53] lifetime. Dean Reynolds now with how

[8:55] these children of war are forever

[8:57] changed.

[9:02] >> When the siren sounded in Hifa,

[9:04] 14-year-old Male Sandler and his family

[9:07] were on the seventh floor.

[9:10] They headed down the stairs in search of

[9:12] shelter, a routine they've adopted

[9:14] reluctantly.

[9:16] On this occasion though, it was their

[9:18] apartment building that was hit.

[9:21] >> It was a loud explosion, he says, and we

[9:23] were very afraid.

[9:25] >> How long is the war going to last?

[9:26] >> They should keep fighting.

[9:28] >> In Hifa, where rocket fire regularly

[9:31] rains on the city, the parks are empty,

[9:33] but the shelters are full. The people

[9:36] are huddling around the television set

[9:38] because the news is just reporting that

[9:40] an attack is underway here in Hyper

[9:43] right now.

[9:44] >> 13-year-old Leroy and his little sister

[9:46] spend afternoons on the P3 level of a

[9:49] parking garage, protected from the now

[9:51] familiar concussive explosions of

[9:54] Hezbollah rockets.

[10:01] >> You never know where or exactly when the

[10:03] rocket will hit. Which is scarier, the

[10:06] boom or the siren?

[10:08] >> The siren.

[10:10] >> Just 80 miles to the north in Beirut,

[10:13] Summer and Muhammad sees every moment of

[10:16] quiet to play. But their teenage fun

[10:19] does not remove the bitterness they feel

[10:21] caught in the middle.

[10:22] >> It's not our fault. We We didn't do

[10:24] anything for Israel. We are just people

[10:27] like them. We didn't do anything. The

[10:30] homes of both teenagers have been

[10:32] destroyed in bombing runs.

[10:34] >> That makes me afraid of dying because I

[10:38] don't want to die.

[10:40] >> Like so many others. Now they are

[10:41] refugees in their own country.

[10:44] >> My life is completely changed from

[10:47] happiness to sadness.

[10:49] >> Israeli 9-year-old Eden Alone can relate

[10:52] to that. Hezbala rockets forced his

[10:55] family to head south toward Tel Aviv,

[10:58] but he kept a souvenir, shrapnel, and a

[11:02] vivid memory of the rockets he'd seen

[11:04] with his own eyes.

[11:09] >> Other kids in other places have summer

[11:11] camp. Here they have war.

[11:15] >> Dean Reynolds, ABC News Hifa.

[11:19] >> You know, if it's hard to look at those

[11:20] images on television, can you imagine

[11:22] what it's like being there? experiencing

[11:24] it and wondering what their future holds

[11:26] and how it will affect them uh as

[11:27] adults. We are back in a moment. That's

[13:37] investigative journalism.

[13:42] It is Thursday morning. Condisa Rice's

[13:44] diplomatic mission fails to rally

[13:46] support for the US peace plan for the

[13:48] Middle East.

[13:51] >> From ABC News World Headquarters in New

[13:54] York, this is World News Now.

[13:57] >> And as you know, in conjunction with the

[13:59] Secretary of State's travels overseas,

[14:01] Iraq's prime minister addressed a joint

[14:03] meeting of Congress yesterday. And we'll

[14:05] have more on that as well.

[14:06] >> Some congressional leaders or senators

[14:08] also boycotted. They felt his uh words

[14:10] that he wouldn't denounce husband and

[14:12] that was not acceptable. So we'll have

[14:13] more on that as well. Hello from New

[14:16] York. I'm Tina Hernandez along with Ron

[14:17] Corning. Also ahead this half hour, the

[14:19] heatwave gripping California is taking

[14:21] more than just a human toll. We'll show

[14:23] you what some people are doing to keep

[14:25] their pets safe. Plus, the new reality

[14:27] show that lets you become a superhero.

[14:30] No superpowers or shame required.

[14:34] >> But first up here this morning, the

[14:35] latest on the conflict in the Middle

[14:37] East. Israel continues its offensive in

[14:39] Lebanon. Bombs fell on an army base

[14:42] north of Beirut and a nearby radio tower

[14:44] this morning. This after Israel suffered

[14:46] its deadliest day of the conflict so

[14:48] far. Eight soldiers were killed in an

[14:50] ambush near a Hezbollah stronghold. A

[14:53] ninth soldier was killed in fighting

[14:55] elsewhere. It was a particularly deadly

[14:57] day in the Gaza Strip. Israeli strikes

[15:00] claimed 23 lives, 16 of them militants.

[15:03] Israel's prime minister says he will

[15:05] launch an investigation into the air

[15:07] strike that killed four UN peacekeepers.

[15:10] UN officials say the observers made 10

[15:12] calls to Israel to ask it to stop

[15:14] bombing near its post and there was no

[15:16] progress in the peace talks in Rome on

[15:19] Wednesday. Secretary of State Condisa

[15:21] Rice did not give in to pressure for an

[15:24] immediate ceasefire. Rice's diplomatic

[15:26] mission though is not over, but some

[15:28] critics are saying she still has not

[15:30] done everything in her power to try to

[15:32] stop the violence in the Middle East.

[15:33] ABC's Sonia Crawford is in Washington

[15:35] now with more on the diplomatic front.

[15:38] Sonia, good morning.

[15:39] >> Good morning, Ron. Secretary of State

[15:41] Rice is in Malaysia this morning for a

[15:43] security summit on North Korea. Also in

[15:46] town, the Iranian foreign minister, who

[15:48] apparently wants to discuss the Middle

[15:49] East crisis with his Malaysian

[15:51] counterpart. Now, Iran is one of

[15:53] Hezbala's backers, and some analysts

[15:56] believe it wanted this conflict to

[15:58] divert attention from its nuclear

[16:00] program.

[16:02] Secretary of State Connisa Rice left

[16:04] Rome after convincing an emergency

[16:06] meeting of government officials and

[16:08] diplomats an immediate ceasefire between

[16:10] Israel and Hezbala isn't enough.

[16:13] >> We have to be effective. It means that

[16:17] we have to have a

[16:20] plan that will actually create

[16:22] conditions in which we can have a

[16:24] ceasefire that will be sustainable.

[16:26] They agreed to ask the United Nations

[16:28] for a multinational force along the

[16:30] Israeli Lebanese border and pledged

[16:32] humanitarian relief and support for

[16:34] Lebanon's reconstruction. The Lebanese

[16:37] were disappointed by the meeting's

[16:39] outcome, but most Americans agree with

[16:41] the US position. According to two recent

[16:44] polls, anywhere from 45 to 47% of

[16:47] Americans approve of President Bush's

[16:49] handling of the conflict. Most say the

[16:52] US should maintain its present role as

[16:54] opposed to taking the lead in trying to

[16:56] resolve the issue. And despite the

[16:59] heartbreaking civilian casualties, most

[17:01] believe Israel's response has been about

[17:03] right. In fact, most Americans, 54% say

[17:07] their sympathies lie more with Israel.

[17:10] But some experts argue the only way for

[17:12] diplomacy to prevail is to engage

[17:14] Hezbollah's backers, Iran and Syria.

[17:18] Syria said Rice should visit Damascus

[17:20] for talks. But the Bush administration

[17:22] maintains there is no need to talk. The

[17:24] countries know what they need to do.

[17:27] Polls show Americans are pessimistic

[17:30] about the whole situation. They believe

[17:31] the current conflict will lead to a

[17:33] major Middle East war involving other

[17:36] countries, but they remain convinced the

[17:38] federal government's top priorities

[17:40] should be the war in Iraq, fighting

[17:42] terrorism, and economic growth. Ron.

[17:44] >> All right, Sonia, thank you. ABC's Sonia

[17:46] Crawford in Washington.

[17:48] >> Iraqi Prime Minister Nuriel Maliki is is

[17:51] on his way back to the Middle East this

[17:52] morning. Al Maliki cut his trip short

[17:54] after having dinner with Vice President

[17:56] Cheney Wednesday night. His foreign

[17:58] minister said events in the region led

[18:01] al Maliki to cancel his trip to New

[18:02] York. The prime minister received a

[18:04] mixed reception at a joint meeting of

[18:06] Congress Wednesday after failing to

[18:08] directly denounce Hzbollah. Some

[18:10] Democrats even boycotted the speech.

[18:13] Andrea Yates is expected to be sentenced

[18:15] to a state mental hospital later today.

[18:17] The Texas mother, who was found not

[18:19] guilty by reason of insanity in the

[18:21] drowning deaths of her children. Russell

[18:23] Yates, her ex-husband, and the

[18:25] children's father called the verdict a

[18:27] miracle.

[18:28] >> California's now ranked global warming

[18:30] as among their three top environmental

[18:32] concerns. This according to a new poll,

[18:34] and that survey was taken before the

[18:36] heat wave, which has now gripped the

[18:38] state for almost two weeks. Nearly 90

[18:40] people have died as a result of the high

[18:42] temperatures. Here's ABC's Carla Wool.

[18:45] It's especially bad in the central

[18:47] valley where some morgs are at capacity

[18:50] and officials have declared a local

[18:52] emergency.

[18:53] >> All of the body's systems, the

[18:54] cardiorespiratory system, the nervous

[18:56] system can be impaired and can basically

[18:58] shut down.

[18:59] >> The homeless and elderly are especially

[19:02] vulnerable.

[19:03] >> Going around going around checking make

[19:04] sure everybody's okay with this heat.

[19:06] >> Police are going doortodoor at

[19:07] low-income hotels in Sacramento after

[19:10] three deaths were discovered in a single

[19:12] day. Most residents here do not have

[19:15] working air conditioners.

[19:17] >> 100° at least. It feels like that anyway

[19:20] in that room.

[19:22] >> In Bakersfield, where temperatures are

[19:24] over 105 for the 11th straight day,

[19:27] seniors are taking refuge in cooling

[19:29] centers.

[19:30] >> As long as they can have me here, I'll

[19:32] stay.

[19:33] >> Dairy farmers are using fans and misters

[19:36] to keep cows cool. Still, so many have

[19:39] died, their carcasses are being dumped

[19:41] in landfills. crops aren't fairing any

[19:43] better.

[19:44] >> They're beyond raisins. They're

[19:46] complete. There's nothing left there.

[19:47] >> Grapes, tomatoes, walnuts, peaches, all

[19:50] of it scorched, which likely will mean

[19:52] higher prices for consumers. It is a few

[19:55] degrees cooler and that cooling trend is

[19:58] forecast to continue so that by the

[20:00] weekend, even the central valley is not

[20:02] expected to reach 100. Carlo, ABC News,

[20:06] Los Angeles. And despite the heat,

[20:08] supporters of the state's governor are

[20:10] inviting residents to a birthday block

[20:12] party. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger,

[20:13] who's on a campaign bus tour, turns 59

[20:16] today. Coming up later in our broadcast,

[20:19] more on the California Heatwave.

[20:21] >> Now for our news notes this morning,

[20:23] former President Gerald Ford is back

[20:25] home after spending two days in the

[20:26] hospital for shortness of breath. At 93,

[20:29] Mr. Ford is the oldest living president.

[20:32] And the Archbishop of Chicago is

[20:34] expected to make a full recovery after

[20:36] he undergoes cancer surgery later today.

[20:39] Francis George has led Chicago Catholics

[20:41] for the past nine years. And Chicago

[20:44] becomes the largest city in the country,

[20:46] requiring big box stores like Walmart to

[20:49] pay employees a living wage. GM stock

[20:52] rose more than a dollar on word that the

[20:54] world's largest automaker outpaced Wall

[20:56] Street expectations in the second

[20:58] quarter. The Massachusetts governor

[21:00] tried again today to fire the head of

[21:02] the stakes state's turnpike authority

[21:04] over problems with the big dig. This as

[21:06] a seven-year-old letter surfaces warning

[21:09] that the bolts used in the tunnels

[21:10] construction would never hold. And two

[21:13] bills become law today with the

[21:15] president's passage of an extension of

[21:16] the historic voting rights act and an

[21:18] upgrade of the nation's child

[21:20] molestation notification laws.

[21:23] >> And we've got a lot more coming up here

[21:24] this morning. We're going to take a look

[21:25] in the skinny at People magazine. Couple

[21:27] of big stories making news there.

[21:28] >> Also, Madam Tuso's waxy museum, a

[21:31] controversy

[21:32] >> and the sun is rising in the studio. Let

[21:35] the sunshine. Okay. Also coming up this

[21:37] morning, we'll go inside the show that

[21:38] can help immortalize you in the pages of

[21:41] a comic book.

[21:43] >> Oh, let's go to break with a look at

[21:44] your weather.

[21:44] >> It's sunny here.

[21:45] >> Do you like my sing?

[21:50] >> Step into my office, baby. Want to give

[21:54] you the job

[21:56] a chance of over time. Say my place at

[22:02] night.

[22:07] >> World News Now weather brought to you by

[22:10] Ambient CR.

[22:17] >> My name is Sarah. I've had a sleep

[22:20] problem. Actually, different problems.

[22:22] Sometimes I couldn't fall asleep or I'd

[22:25] fall asleep and I couldn't stay asleep.

[22:27] My doctor suggested that I try Ambient

[22:29] CR, the latest ambient. It does both.

[22:32] Helps me fall asleep and stay asleep.

[22:35] It's the only one with two layers. One

[22:37] dissolves quickly to help you fall

[22:38] asleep fast. The other dissolves slowly

[22:41] to help you stay asleep. A good night's

[22:43] sleep makes a big difference. Ambient CR

[22:46] is a treatment option you and your

[22:47] doctor can consider along with lifestyle

[22:49] changes and can be taken for as long as

[22:51] your doctor recommends. Until you know

[22:53] how ambient CR will affect you, you

[22:54] shouldn't drive or operate machinery. Be

[22:56] sure you're able to devote 7 to 8 hours

[22:58] to sleep before being active again. Side

[23:00] effects may include next day drowsiness,

[23:02] dizziness, and headache. It's

[23:03] non-narcotic. However, like most sleep

[23:05] medicines, it has some risk of

[23:06] dependency. Don't take it with alcohol.

[23:08] >> Falling asleep and staying asleep, both

[23:11] problems handled.

[23:12] >> Ask your doctor about ambient CR.

[23:14] Remember that CR for a good night's

[23:16] sleep from start to finish.

[23:18] >> Well, I can't walk.

[23:19] >> I can walk, but not very far.

[23:22] >> I can't even stand anymore.

[24:21] it was life-threatening. After I

[24:23] discovered I was pregnant, I was

[24:25] diagnosed with breast cancer.

[24:27] >> When I first found out that Frank had

[24:29] cancer, I felt like my whole world had

[24:31] fallen apart.

[24:32] >> I went to one more hospital

[24:35] because I wasn't willing to give up.

[24:38] Being treated like a real person for the

[24:41] first time in 10 years was such a

[24:44] relief.

[24:45] >> I feel like it it's just like

[24:48] going back home.

[25:05] exist. We as cancer patients for

[25:08] whatever reason have been dealt this

[25:11] kind of pain, but there is hope on the

[25:14] other side and there is great life after

[25:16] cancer.

[25:18] >> Welcome back everyone. We may have

[25:20] another Tiger Woods in the making and

[25:22] I'll tell you it ain't me. A young

[25:23] Colorado boy is already showing some

[25:25] amazing skills from the fairway to the

[25:27] green on the American landscape this

[25:29] morning. Steve Gotzigan of KMGH in

[25:31] Denver tells his story.

[25:35] by Tiger Woods at this moment.

[25:37] >> There have been golfing proteges in the

[25:39] past.

[25:42] >> And we may have the next Tiger Woods

[25:44] right here in Colorado.

[25:47] >> Wow.

[25:49] Meet Braden Bozac.

[25:51] Not your typical 2 and 1/ halfyear-old

[25:53] golfer.

[25:53] >> Who's the best 2 and 1/ halfyear-old

[25:55] golfer in the world?

[25:56] >> Me.

[25:58] >> And he may be, but he's also still a 2

[26:01] and 1/ halfyear-old.

[26:02] >> How long before you go pro? Um, two,

[26:05] five.

[26:06] >> Five more years. So, at seven years old,

[26:08] you're going to be going pro.

[26:09] >> Butterfly.

[26:10] >> That's a butterfly.

[26:12] >> But when it's time to focus, Braden

[26:14] locks in. With daddy as his caddy, the

[26:17] only thing that matters is getting that

[26:19] ball into the hole.

[26:20] >> And he's not just form.

[26:22] >> There's plenty of substance to his game.

[26:24] >> It's amazing because he's still in

[26:26] diapers. You know, I mean, he's 2 and a

[26:28] half years old. He's trying to We're

[26:29] trying to potty train him and get him

[26:30] out of diapers. And uh you know the kid

[26:33] comes out and hits the ball off the tea

[26:35] box. You know 50 60 yards and he just

[26:37] loves the game. There you go.

[26:40] >> Oh my goodness.

[26:41] >> We'd all love the game if we hit it as

[26:43] straight as Braden.

[26:44] >> And while most kids his age are just

[26:46] trying to figure out what trouble they

[26:47] can get into. Braden's got bigger plans.

[26:49] >> What do you want to be when you grow up?

[26:51] >> Um I want to be tiger grew up.

[26:54] >> And that's the tough part for dad. When

[26:55] your 2-year-old is striping them down

[26:57] the fairway, you almost want to fast

[26:59] forward ahead to see where they land.

[27:01] Yeah, I say that all the time and my

[27:02] wife slows me down. So, that's uh I

[27:04] think it's it's kind of the the give and

[27:06] take, but yeah, I'm I'm anxious to see

[27:08] how he how he grows and evolves as he

[27:10] gets a little bit older.

[27:12] >> Who knows? Braden Bozac may turn out to

[27:14] be the next Tiger Woods.

[27:16] >> Wow.

[27:17] >> Steve Goden, 7 Sports.

[27:18] >> Thank you all coming out and and golf

[27:22] with me.

[27:24] >> Look at that.

[27:25] >> Unbelievable. I love that Caddy has to

[27:27] carry sippy cups around for

[27:28] >> sippy cups. And the kid's not even potty

[27:30] trained yet. He's trying to get the hole

[27:31] in one at home in the toilet, right?

[27:33] Which is hard.

[27:34] >> You know, when you have a kid and you

[27:35] think, "Okay, what do they do at this

[27:36] age or that age?" I don't think that's

[27:38] going to happen.

[27:39] >> I think it's there. The kid has got it.

[27:40] And

[27:41] >> I mean, for my child, not him. He's got

[27:44] it. Yeah.

[27:44] >> Your kid's not potty trained yet.

[27:46] Heavens know. Anyway,

[27:47] >> when we come back, we will take a look

[27:49] at how the heat is affecting British

[27:50] farmers. It's always a bunch of your own

[27:52] children.

[27:52] >> We're back.

[27:53] >> One of those, I guess.

[28:33] >> Dear Dr. Z, is there really German

[28:35] technology in my Chrysler 300C?

[28:40] >> John, every Chrysler uses the best of

[28:42] American and German engineering and

[28:44] design. This five link rear suspension

[28:45] is only one example. There are small

[28:47] links for better performance and

[28:48] handling.

[28:49] >> Cool. What would you expect?

[28:52] We invented the automobile. Hope it

[29:16] King looks at women's relationships and

[29:18] friendships, including hers with a very

[29:20] famous talk show host.

[29:23] Like many parts of the US, the UK is in

[29:26] the grip of a heat wave. Hot, dry

[29:28] weather is usually a good thing for

[29:29] farmers at harvest time. But in this

[29:32] case, the heat wave is a mixed blessing,

[29:33] hurting some crops, helping others. Hugh

[29:36] Pim of the BBC has the story.

[29:40] >> Getting in the harvest. Once the hard

[29:42] work starts, farmers need settled, good

[29:44] weather, and they've got it. The crop

[29:46] comes in dry, and that makes life a lot

[29:49] simpler than in damp conditions.

[29:51] >> So, this is a field of wheat. It's uh

[29:53] nearly ready for harvest.

[29:55] >> Peter Brmley is about to start on his

[29:57] wheat crop. But here, the heat hasn't

[30:00] necessarily done him a lot of favors.

[30:02] >> We've had a very hot spell for a

[30:03] fortnight, and the crop has ripened very

[30:05] quickly. And what that means is that

[30:07] it's lacked moisture. it it has not had

[30:10] enough moisture to help fill the grain

[30:11] and so we're probably going to end up

[30:12] with more shriveled grains and that ends

[30:15] up being less weight and less yield.

[30:19] Fields which might have been green are

[30:20] turning a dull shade of brown. The grass

[30:23] for the sheep is worryingly low

[30:26] and from the air the color of the

[30:28] patchwork of fields underlines the near

[30:30] drought conditions across much of the

[30:32] southeast. More so the parks in central

[30:35] London parched because of the absence of

[30:38] rain or any watering.

[30:42] People looking for a dip had to look

[30:44] harder than usual for somewhere to cool

[30:46] off. It's looking more like a puddle

[30:48] than a pool.

[30:52] It looks as if there's plenty of water

[30:54] in this canal, but levels are falling,

[30:57] and the authorities have urged boat

[30:58] owners to share transit through locks to

[31:01] cut down on leakage from the system.

[31:04] There was a buoyant mood at this trade

[31:05] show for fruit growers.

[31:10] >> Beautiful British strawberries.

[31:14] >> Good weather has helped generate a good

[31:16] crop. And because British shoppers turn

[31:18] increasingly to fruit in warm weather,

[31:21] the local produce can hardly ripen

[31:23] quickly enough to keep up with demand.

[31:26] If the summers keep on getting hotter,

[31:28] newer fruits like apricots could take

[31:31] their place alongside Britain's

[31:33] traditional favorites. Cupim, BBC News,

[31:36] Kent.

[31:38] And of course, much of the American

[31:40] landscape is in the grips of its own

[31:41] extreme summer weather. Southern

[31:43] California has now had nearly two weeks

[31:45] of tripledigit temperatures. KABC's

[31:48] Lesie Miller tells us how the kids are

[31:49] handling it and how to keep children

[31:51] safe when the mercury rises.

[31:54] It is summertime and life is a breeze

[31:56] for the kids. But when temperatures are

[31:58] sweltering, keeping the kids cool can be

[32:00] a full-time job for grown-ups. We try to

[32:03] get them as much water as we can. Uh

[32:05] keep them in the shade. Uh make sure

[32:08] that they're always with wearing hats.

[32:10] >> At Alleian Park, about a thousand kids

[32:12] battled the heat while they chow down on

[32:14] Dodger dogs at a picnic in the park

[32:16] before a baseball game. Many seem to

[32:18] know about sun safety.

[32:20] >> I go swimming. I drink lots of water.

[32:23] put on sunscreen. I also wear a hat so

[32:26] that my face doesn't get sunburned.

[32:28] >> Dr. Alan Neger is the head of emergency

[32:30] medicine at Children's Hospital Los

[32:32] Angeles. The last couple of weeks, he's

[32:34] seen more kids coming to the ER with

[32:36] symptoms of dehydration, the most common

[32:39] heat related illness.

[32:40] >> If a parent notices that their child

[32:42] seems to be unusually sleepy or

[32:46] lethargic or just not very active, that

[32:49] can be a sign of dehydration.

[32:52] Other signs of dehydration include

[32:54] decreased urination, a sticky looking or

[32:56] sounding mouth, vomiting, diarrhea,

[32:59] chills or shivers, and headaches.

[33:01] >> When the temperature is as hot as it is

[33:03] lately, the parent should roughly use

[33:05] the guide to give their child twice as

[33:08] much fluid.

[33:09] >> And what parents may not know that fluid

[33:12] should not be only water.

[33:14] >> The problem with giving water is that

[33:16] the child's minerals get washed out of

[33:18] the body in a sense. So, it should be a

[33:21] combination of water but with juices.

[33:25] >> Are you having fun? Are you staying

[33:28] cool?

[33:29] >> At the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center, parent

[33:31] child swim classes are popular this time

[33:33] of year, but too much time in the direct

[33:35] sun can be dangerous even when you

[33:37] slather on the sunscreen. Doctors advise

[33:39] keeping your kids occupied in the shade

[33:41] and shelter as well. This is Lesie

[33:44] Miller reporting for ABC News. And of

[33:47] course the during the hot weather, many

[33:50] people across the American landscape

[33:51] worry about their pets and other

[33:53] animals. And KBC's Bob Banfield met the

[33:55] owners of two wolves to find out what

[33:57] they're doing to help their exotic pets

[33:59] keep cool. Cody Seiku and Nikki are

[34:03] Arctic wolves. Now, this is not the kind

[34:05] of weather they enjoy, but their

[34:07] caretakers, the Richardsons, have gone

[34:10] to great extremes to make them

[34:11] comfortable. Mr. Mrs. Richardson are in

[34:14] the special events and designer

[34:15] business. So when they designed their

[34:17] backyard, you can see they did an

[34:19] excellent job. Very cool here in the

[34:22] summertime weather. Took care of all of

[34:23] the comfort for people. But what about

[34:26] the wolves? We try to furnish an

[34:28] environment for them that cools them

[34:29] down. We uh provide the sand pit which

[34:33] with the falapa we uh bathe them down.

[34:36] Uh we also built another room in another

[34:39] area that has a fans in it and that

[34:42] helps cool them down. We watch. We

[34:44] monitor them a lot to make sure that

[34:45] they don't get overheated.

[34:46] >> You're a good owner.

[34:48] >> Thank you.

[34:48] >> Or carkeeper, I guess you don't call

[34:50] them.

[34:50] >> No, we're not an owner. They own me.

[34:52] >> They They own you.

[34:53] >> That's right.

[34:54] >> Cody has been with the Richardsons since

[34:56] he was a puppy. All three wolves appear

[34:58] to be doing pretty well despite the

[35:00] heat. And why not?

[35:02] >> This is Bob Banfield reporting.

[35:04] >> Seems every year at these time we're

[35:06] always talking about these stories, how

[35:07] to keep the pets and how to keep

[35:08] yourself sort of out of the heat. But

[35:10] this heat wave has been such that it's

[35:11] not cliche. I mean, it really is stuff

[35:12] to keep in mind,

[35:13] >> right? And, you know, it may seem

[35:15] counterintuitive. Animals animals sort

[35:16] of know what they're doing, but these

[35:17] aren't necessarily their natural

[35:18] habitat.

[35:19] >> That's right.

[35:19] >> So, it's important, you know, mist the

[35:21] cows and keep them all cool.

[35:22] >> Yep. Keep everyone cool. Keep it cool

[35:24] when we come back.

[35:25] >> A new TV show aimed at finding the next

[35:41] Video Professor. Now, I know many of you

[35:43] have seen me for years on TV offering my

[35:46] free computer learning lessons on CDROM.

[35:48] And I know you need to have computer

[35:50] skills.

[35:51] >> I I would feel less stressed by new

[35:53] computers.

[35:53] >> You've seen the great things many of my

[35:55] 5 million customers have had to say

[35:57] about my product.

[35:58] >> Video professor, that's the way to go.

[36:01] >> I would definitely choose uh the video

[36:03] professor. You've seen how easy it is to

[36:05] learn with Video Professor. You just pop

[36:07] in the disc and follow the simple

[36:09] step-by-step instructions. You know, the

[36:11] lesson plays right on your computer

[36:13] screen and it works just like a VCR.

[36:15] It's so simple anyone can do it. You've

[36:17] seen all this. You need the computer

[36:19] skills, but you still haven't called me

[36:21] to take advantage of my free computer

[36:23] learning CD offer. Now, is it because

[36:25] I'm making this offer on TV? Well, you

[36:28] know, I can't find a store that'll let

[36:30] me give these CDs away free. So TV is

[36:32] about the only way I can get my free

[36:34] offer to you. Or maybe you haven't

[36:36] called because you don't believe that

[36:38] Video Professor really is free. Well,

[36:41] let me assure you that it is real and

[36:44] it's free and it's a complete 1-hour

[36:47] lesson. And I give it away on TV free

[36:49] because I know that once you try my

[36:51] product, you'll come back to us for all

[36:52] your computer learning needs. You just

[36:54] pay a small shipping and processing

[36:56] charge and I'll even refund that if

[36:58] you're not 100% satisfied. So before you

[37:00] say there's no way I'm ordering off TV,

[37:04] ask yourself, do you need the computer

[37:06] skills that I'm giving away free? If the

[37:09] answer is yes, then pick up the phone,

[37:11] call, and try any one of my products.

[39:19] up in spandex to get on television.

[39:21] >> You look ridiculous.

[39:22] >> I do look ridiculous.

[39:23] >> I could really use a hug.

[39:58] >> Is anything showing?

[40:00] >> Applications from people like Chris

[40:01] Waters. He's a DJ in real life, but by

[40:31] in your costume.

[40:32] >> Lee tells us he really wanted to say

[40:34] turn in your spandex. But some of the

[40:37] contestants weren't wearing spandex.

[41:11] like it. Why this sort of media outing?

[41:16] he was in the band because he didn't
