[0:01] It's Monday morning. Bombs rain down on

[0:04] both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border

[0:06] as world leaders push for an end to the

[0:08] attacks.

[0:09] >> [music]

[0:10] >> From ABC News world headquarters in New

[0:12] York, this is World News Now.

[0:15] >> [music]

[0:16] >> And those leaders jointly at the G8

[0:17] summit all have some strong differences

[0:19] but did agree on wording that expressed

[0:21] deep [music] concern for what's going

[0:22] on.

[0:23] >> And the deadliest attack yet by

[0:24] Hezbollah yesterday on Sunday and in the

[0:27] meantime an effort to evacuate American

[0:29] citizens who are there. So we'll have

[0:30] that as well.

[0:31] >> [music]

[0:31] >> Uh good morning everyone. I'm Ron

[0:32] Corning along with Ty Hernandez. Also

[0:34] coming up here this half hour on World

[0:36] News Now. Firefighters [music]

[0:38] look to gain the upper hand on a massive

[0:40] blaze out west but a heat wave crossing

[0:42] the country could cause more problems.

[0:45] And [music] remembering a tragic

[0:47] accident. It has been 10 years since TWA

[0:50] flight 800 went down.

[0:53] >> But we begin this morning in Russia. G8

[0:55] leaders are wrapping up their summit.

[0:57] The spreading violence in the Middle

[0:58] East dominated the agenda and leaders

[1:00] attending the meeting issued a joint

[1:02] statement on Sunday. ABC's Jessica

[1:04] Yellin is in St. Petersburg at the

[1:06] summit. Good morning, Jessica.

[1:10] >> Good morning, Ty. The leaders came into

[1:12] this summit with strong divisions over

[1:14] their positions on the Middle East but

[1:16] leave with a unified statement that

[1:18] first and foremost blames Hamas and

[1:20] Hezbollah for the attacks that initiated

[1:23] this violence and calls on them to

[1:25] immediately release those captured

[1:26] Israeli soldiers. This was a significant

[1:29] victory for President Bush and his view

[1:31] of the situation there and he

[1:33] underscored the importance of this part

[1:34] of the statement in his comments this

[1:36] morning.

[1:39] >> Terrorist activity by

[1:40] Hezbollah housed and housed in the

[1:45] encouraged by Syria

[1:47] financed by Iran are making the

[1:51] these moves to stop the progress of

[1:52] peace.

[1:54] We

[1:54] hope that

[1:55] by addressing the conditions of this

[1:57] violence we could get to a situation

[1:59] where there was calm.

[2:03] >> Now, this statement also calls on Israel

[2:06] to show restraint and it demands that

[2:08] all sides work together to support the

[2:10] Lebanese government. Uh there are

[2:12] though, as you've said, differences.

[2:14] Immediately after this agreement was

[2:16] announced, President Putin of uh uh

[2:19] China Sorry, of France came out and said

[2:22] that he still thinks Israel is showing

[2:24] uh disproportionate use of force. And

[2:26] then President Putin of Russia said that

[2:29] he thinks there's not enough evidence to

[2:31] prove that Syria and Iran are behind the

[2:34] attacks uh by Hezbollah, something you

[2:36] heard President Bush say just this

[2:37] morning he believes to be the case.

[2:39] Still, there is some unity and the

[2:42] leaders here have agreed to continue to

[2:43] work together, not just on uh now

[2:46] analyzing the situation and its causes,

[2:48] but finding productive ways to end it,

[2:51] perhaps even sending some sort of UN

[2:53] force into the region to maintain

[2:56] security and monitor the situation. The

[2:58] leaders leave Russia later today and

[3:00] President Bush will be home by this

[3:02] evening, Ty.

[3:04] >> All right, Jessica, thank you. ABC's

[3:05] Jessica Yellin in St. Petersburg,

[3:07] Russia.

[3:08] >> And of course, the center of all of this

[3:09] is the violence between Israel and

[3:11] Hezbollah continuing this morning. Bombs

[3:14] are falling on both sides of the border

[3:15] and ABC's Lama Hasan is joining us now

[3:18] live from Jerusalem with the latest on

[3:20] that. Lama, good morning to you.

[3:23] >> Good morning, Ron. The violence here in

[3:25] the Middle East is escalating with both

[3:26] sides, the Israelis and the Islamic

[3:28] militant group Hezbollah, stepping up

[3:30] their attacks and there is no sign of

[3:32] this crisis letting up.

[3:43] Overnight at Beirut International

[3:45] Airport, the sky lit up. Israeli air

[3:47] strikes hit fuel tanks, setting them on

[3:50] fire. Both sides have been threatening

[3:52] each other and both keeping to their

[3:54] word. Other Israeli attacks flattened

[3:56] Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut, also

[3:58] targeting roads, bridges, and petrol

[4:01] stations in northern and southern

[4:02] Lebanon trying to cut off the country

[4:04] from the outside world. All of this

[4:06] comes after the militant group mounted

[4:08] their deadliest attack yet. 9:00 a.m.

[4:11] Sunday, they launched a barrage of

[4:13] rockets deep into northern Israel

[4:15] hitting Haifa, its third largest city. A

[4:17] train depot was hit killing at least

[4:19] eight people. The Israeli Prime Minister

[4:21] said this attack changed everything and

[4:24] threatened, quote, far-reaching

[4:25] consequences. Both countries are killing

[4:27] civilians. This was the attack on Tyre

[4:30] in southern Lebanon. A convoy of

[4:32] families fleeing the fighting were hit.

[4:34] More than 20 people, mostly children,

[4:37] were killed. Hezbollah warns that this

[4:38] is just the beginning threatening to hit

[4:40] even deeper into Israel. The resident

[4:42] towns stretching from Haifa to Tel Aviv

[4:45] are now on high alert and the cycle of

[4:47] violence continues. Just this morning,

[4:49] Hezbollah launched more rocket attacks

[4:51] into northern Israel with both sides

[4:53] showing they mean business. The question

[4:55] is, what's next and how far will this

[4:58] crisis go, Ron?

[4:59] >> Lama, and on that note, as you talk

[5:01] about possible attacks deeper into

[5:03] Israel, what is the feeling in Jerusalem

[5:06] particularly?

[5:08] >> Well, it's very surprising because I

[5:10] expected to arrive here with people

[5:13] bracing themselves for war, people

[5:15] panicking, but there is nothing like

[5:17] this on the ground here in Jerusalem.

[5:19] There is an air of calm, but it's

[5:21] surprising because once when you move

[5:23] north

[5:24] of Israel, you see the situation

[5:26] changing and you see the threat level

[5:28] changing as well to deal with this

[5:30] current crisis here in the Middle East.

[5:33] >> Lama, thank you for monitoring the

[5:34] situation there for us. ABC's Lama Hasan

[5:37] in Jerusalem.

[5:38] >> And back in this country, a day of

[5:40] dangerously hot temperatures and high

[5:42] humidity for many major cities. Even for

[5:44] the middle of July, it is unusually hot

[5:47] and sticky and ABC's Sonya Crawford

[5:49] joins us from Washington with the

[5:50] latest.

[5:52] >> Good morning, Taina. The heat index is

[5:54] supposed to reach 105° in the nation's

[5:57] capital today. The hot air that's been

[5:59] sitting on top of most of the country

[6:01] reaches the East Coast today.

[6:03] Meteorologists predict record

[6:04] temperatures in nearly every major

[6:07] Northeastern city today.

[6:09] Chicago winds who took advantage of

[6:11] 24-hour cooling centers are waking up

[6:13] this morning in air-conditioned

[6:15] buildings. The city is trying to provide

[6:17] relief after an assault of 100° heat and

[6:21] stifling humidity. Emergency workers are

[6:24] checking on the elderly and fielding

[6:25] thousands of phone calls. A heat wave

[6:28] has descended across the West,

[6:30] Southwest, Plains, and Midwest. Today,

[6:33] it will engulf the East as well.

[6:35] Meteorologists blame an unusual jet

[6:38] stream, which is blocking colder

[6:40] Canadian air from reaching the US.

[6:42] >> The impressive thing about the heat is

[6:44] not only how hot it's going to get, but

[6:47] how much of the country we're going to

[6:49] see record heat.

[6:50] >> Heat advisories are in effect today from

[6:52] the Dakotas, where triple-digit

[6:53] temperatures yesterday broke a 66-year

[6:56] record, to Las Vegas, where this family

[6:59] sat sweltering in their apartment

[7:01] waiting for someone to repair their air

[7:03] conditioner, to Ohio, where summer

[7:06] school is canceled because classrooms

[7:08] are hotter than outside.

[7:10] >> It's been a couple summers I've seen

[7:11] it's been this hot.

[7:12] >> People are finding ways to keep cool,

[7:14] but if for firefighters, the heat is

[7:16] making their jobs more difficult.

[7:18] Already dry brush and grass is becoming

[7:21] drier and more flammable in Minnesota,

[7:24] Texas, and California. The Golden State

[7:27] is under a power watch. Officials are

[7:29] asking everyone to conserve as demand

[7:31] for electricity is expected to reach an

[7:33] all-time high today. They're hoping to

[7:36] avoid rolling blackouts. In the San

[7:39] Francisco Bay Area, commuters are

[7:40] getting free rides on buses, ferries,

[7:43] and trains. The hot, windless forecast

[7:46] has got authorities concerned about air

[7:47] quality. So, as part of Spare the Air

[7:50] Day, they're hoping to get people out of

[7:52] their cars and into public

[7:53] transportation. Taina?

[7:55] >> Thank you, Sonya. Sonya Crawford in

[7:57] Washington.

[7:58] >> Now, we turn this morning to our news

[7:59] notes. The crisis in the Middle East

[8:01] will be among the topics the UN Security

[8:03] Council will take up during its

[8:05] closed-door meetings. Also up for

[8:07] discussion, Iran and its nuclear

[8:09] threats.

[8:11] Also this morning, the Senate is likely

[8:13] to pass a bill reversing administration

[8:15] policy on stem cell research, but there

[8:17] are not enough votes to override a

[8:19] promised presidential veto.

[8:21] A big send-off at Fort Hood, Texas for

[8:23] the 149th Aviation Regiment heading to

[8:26] Iraq. Personnel include members of an

[8:29] attack helicopter battalion.

[8:31] A somber anniversary. It is 10 years

[8:34] since TWA Flight 800 exploded in the sky

[8:37] off Long Island. All 230 people on board

[8:40] were killed. NASA is hoping the rain

[8:42] will hold off long enough for the space

[8:44] shuttle Discovery to land in Florida

[8:46] today. If not, they will try again

[8:48] tomorrow.

[8:50] >> And still head on World News Now, it's

[8:52] been 10 years since flight TWA 800

[8:54] crashed. We'll open up the ABC News

[8:56] video [music] vault for a look back at

[8:58] the tragic event.

[12:29] >> Welcome back. I'm Sonia [music] Crawford

[12:30] in Washington. We're going to take a

[12:31] closer look this morning at the intense

[12:34] rivalry between Boeing and Airbus. And

[12:37] for that, Declan Curry of the BBC joins

[12:39] us from the Farnborough International

[12:41] Airshow. Good morning, Declan. It sounds

[12:43] like there's some new competition in

[12:45] store for Boeing.

[12:48] >> Uh there is. There's always intense

[12:50] rivalry, of course, between your

[12:52] American plane company and our European

[12:55] plane company over here. We're at a

[12:57] plane show, so you get what you expect

[12:59] here at Farnborough. There's a plane, a

[13:00] regular-sized jumbo.

[13:02] And then just take a look over here.

[13:03] Here is the beast. I think Airbus

[13:06] probably have a much grander name for

[13:07] it, but this is the plane that Airbus,

[13:10] the European plane maker, is showing off

[13:12] here at Farnborough this year. It is its

[13:14] super jumbo. It carries anywhere between

[13:16] 500 and around 700 passengers. You'll

[13:19] see if we go back towards it that it's

[13:22] double-decker all the way along the

[13:24] plane. This really is a great big

[13:26] monster of a plane. And airports around

[13:29] the world are having to change their

[13:31] terminals and their runways to

[13:32] accommodate the size of this one. Now

[13:34] that is the plane on which Airbus has

[13:37] bet the ranch. Boeing has bet its ranch

[13:40] on a completely different type of plane.

[13:43] It's instead of going a size up from a

[13:45] regular jumbo, Boeing is going a size

[13:47] down from the regular jumbo. I suppose

[13:50] you could call it a mini jumbo if you

[13:51] wanted to. And Sonia, this is all about

[13:53] two different models of uh where they

[13:56] think the economics of airline travel is

[13:57] going to go. Airbus is saying, "If you

[13:59] look at the major airports around the

[14:01] world like JFK, San Francisco, Tokyo,

[14:04] London Heathrow, the problem there is

[14:06] congestion. There just aren't enough

[14:08] slots for planes to take off and land to

[14:11] accommodate all the flights and all the

[14:12] passengers." So they say you need great

[14:14] big planes like this one to mop up more

[14:16] passengers to ease that congestion.

[14:18] Boeing has looked at what the low-cost

[14:20] airline Southwest, where you are,

[14:22] EasyJet and Ryanair over here in Europe

[14:24] have

[14:25] And they say that the message is

[14:27] different. That people are willing to go

[14:29] to smaller, less congested, cheaper

[14:32] airports so that they can get cheap

[14:33] flights to either of the way airports.

[14:35] To do that, you don't need a great big

[14:37] plane like that one. You don't need a

[14:38] great big plane like that one. You need

[14:40] one that is a size down. And that is

[14:42] where Boeing has bet its future. So two

[14:44] completely contrasting views on the

[14:47] types of planes that we're going to be

[14:49] using in 10 or 15 years time. But Sonia,

[14:51] one other thing that's worth saying is

[14:53] that both of them are also hedging their

[14:55] bets. While Airbus has got the super

[14:57] jumbo, Boeing has turned around and

[14:58] tried to stretch its regular jumbos to

[15:00] make them bigger. And while Boeing has

[15:03] got the mini jumbo, Airbus has turned

[15:05] around and said, "Ah, we can make one of

[15:06] those as well." The problem is they've

[15:08] gone back to the drawing board. It's

[15:09] still not quite what the airlines want,

[15:11] and it's costing them a fortune.

[15:13] >> All right. Thank you so much for the

[15:15] update. Declan Curry at the Farnborough

[15:17] International Airshow there giving us an

[15:19] update on the intense rivalry between

[15:21] Boeing and Airbus. Thanks for joining

[15:23] us. Well, when we come back, we'll take

[15:24] a look at the tragic anniversary of TWA

[15:27] Flight 800. You're watching World News

[15:36] this from our ABC stations.

[16:43] >> Coming up on Good Morning America, heat

[16:45] wave. Could the hottest day of the year

[16:47] in many major cities in the worst It is,

[16:50] I should say, it could be the hottest

[16:52] day and the worst may be yet to come.

[16:53] And a horse with a mighty big heart.

[16:55] Despite the dire predictions, Barbaro is

[16:58] doing a bit better. We'll get the very

[16:59] latest from the man who's been at his

[17:01] side all along.

[17:03] Tonight will mark the 10-year

[17:04] anniversary of the crash of TWA Flight

[17:07] 800. It exploded in midair over the

[17:09] waters off Long Island, and early on,

[17:11] investigators were focused on sabotage,

[17:13] a bomb or maybe a missile. But as ABC's

[17:16] Nancy Weiner reports, the answer turned

[17:18] out to be something completely

[17:19] different.

[17:23] >> At about 8:40 this evening, Eastern

[17:25] time, TWA Flight 800 exploded in midair

[17:30] over the waters off Long Island.

[17:32] >> It had been a routine takeoff from JFK.

[17:36] But, just 12 minutes into the flight,

[17:38] the Paris-bound plane disappeared from

[17:40] the radar screen.

[17:42] >> These flames are still shooting about 50

[17:44] to 100 ft into the air.

[17:46] >> We're looking at this as a criminal

[17:47] investigation. That's correct.

[17:49] >> If it is a terrorist event, we then have

[17:51] the challenge to find out who the

[17:52] perpetrators were.

[17:54] >> James Kallstrom led the investigation,

[17:56] one of the largest in aviation history.

[17:59] 10 years later, he says terrorism was

[18:01] everyone's first guess.

[18:03] >> 747s, to my knowledge at that time,

[18:06] basically don't blow up climbing out of

[18:08] a major airport with no mayday from the

[18:10] crew.

[18:11] >> The entire plane, more than a million

[18:13] pieces, would have to be reconstructed

[18:16] on land for clues. The Ramada Inn near

[18:19] JFK became ground zero for grief.

[18:22] >> He was only 21 years old. Come on, she

[18:24] was a baby.

[18:28] >> Was his body ever recovered?

[18:31] >> Not much of it.

[18:32] >> Jim Hurd lost his son, Jamie. Together,

[18:35] they ran the family auto body business.

[18:37] Jim lives in Maryland, but drives up to

[18:40] this memorial often.

[18:42] >> So, when you think of your son's final

[18:44] resting place, you think of this spot.

[18:46] >> That's really it, yes.

[18:48] It's as close as I can get.

[18:50] >> 16 teenagers and five adults from one

[18:53] high school in Montoursville,

[18:54] Pennsylvania, were on that flight, the

[18:57] French club. They were so excited. And

[19:00] Michelle Becker, a 19-year-old from

[19:02] Florida who was traveling to Paris for a

[19:04] wedding.

[19:06] >> Such a sad time, sometimes.

[19:09] >> Michelle's aunt and uncle were the

[19:11] driving force behind getting this

[19:13] memorial built.

[19:14] >> Michelle was like one of these roses

[19:16] just in bud.

[19:18] A beautiful blossom

[19:21] and never had a chance to open.

[19:23] >> In 2000, four years after the crash, the

[19:25] NTSB concluded that the probable cause

[19:28] was an explosion in the center fuel tank

[19:31] sparked by a wiring short circuit.

[19:33] >> The lessons learned from this

[19:35] investigation also made

[19:37] a flying much safer. And they grounded

[19:39] all the 747 aircraft that many of which

[19:42] had flown long beyond their

[19:45] their cycle life

[19:46] and pulled all the wiring harnesses out

[19:48] and replaced them. That's good.

[19:50] >> Now, a decade after the crash, the

[19:52] families will tell you the pain doesn't

[19:55] get any easier. It just gets [music]

[19:57] different.

[19:58] >> It marks

[19:59] 10 years since the crash

[20:01] and 10 years that a lot of people

[20:03] weren't sure they would live through.

[20:05] And so in some sense it's a feeling of

[20:08] relief or accomplishment and it marks

[20:11] some healing.

[20:15] >> These flags here at the memorial

[20:17] represent the different nationalities of

[20:19] the Flight 800 victims. They were from

[20:21] 14 different countries and on Monday

[20:24] their family members will be coming from

[20:26] all of those countries for a special

[20:28] service in honor of the 10-year

[20:30] anniversary. Nancy Weiner, ABC News,

[20:32] East Moriches, New York.

[20:35] >> And it is one of those moments you and I

[20:36] were talking as Nancy

[20:38] was presenting her piece here. That it's

[20:40] one of those moments you remember where

[20:41] you were. I was in St. Louis and I

[20:43] wasn't working and I heard it on the

[20:44] radio and I immediately went to work. I

[20:46] think we were on the air for 36 hours.

[20:48] TWA was St. Louis based and much of the

[20:51] crew there was St. Louis based so I

[20:52] spent a lot of time with the families of

[20:54] the crew members.

[20:54] >> Yeah, I had a very different experience.

[20:57] I wasn't working in news at the time and

[20:58] I was one of my friend's brothers was on

[21:00] that flight so that was a really

[21:02] difficult time but you know, not knowing

[21:04] in the immediate hours after it had

[21:06] happened what the cause was was very

[21:07] scary. People immediately thought a

[21:09] bomb, missile, or terrorism. Turned out

[21:12] to be a mechanical failure that they say

[21:14] has not been fixed to this day. Could

[21:16] happen again.

[21:16] >> And there are those companies, Boeing

[21:19] among them, developing equipment that

[21:20] will change the oxygen sources inside

[21:24] those tanks so this sort of combustion

[21:25] doesn't happen, but there is resistance

[21:27] from some airliners to not retrofit

[21:31] those older fleets. And so, still the

[21:33] problem may exist there to some degree.

[21:35] >> Sure, and as all of many victims'

[21:36] families say, every time they see a

[21:38] plane, it's a constant reminder, and 10

[21:40] years is just a number.

[21:41] >> And just one tribute here this morning

[21:43] in the New York Post, and we'll likely

[21:45] have more on this coming up in this

[21:47] morning's papers. And we'll have more

[21:48] news coming up here in just a moment.

[21:50] You're watching World News Now.

[22:28] >> My lymphoma [music]

[22:29] had not only come back, but it was

[22:32] life-threatening. After I discovered I

[22:34] was [music] pregnant

[22:35] >> I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

[22:37] >> When I first found out that Frank had

[22:39] cancer, I felt like my whole world had

[22:41] fallen apart.

[22:42] >> I went to one more hospital

[22:44] >> [music]

[22:45] >> because I wasn't willing to give up.

[22:48] >> Being treated [music]

[22:49] like a real person for the first time in

[22:52] 10 years

[22:53] was such a relief.

[22:55] >> I feel like it it's just like

[22:58] going back home.
