[1:32] From ABC News, this is World News
[1:35] Tonight.
[1:37] Reporting from ABC News headquarters,
[1:40] Bob Woodruff.
[1:41] >> Good evening. We start tonight with
[1:43] breaking news here in New York tonight.
[1:45] Officials say they are increasing
[1:46] security on the city's massive subway
[1:48] system because of what they call a
[1:50] significant and credible threat. Law
[1:53] enforcement sources tell us this is
[1:54] based on information that originally
[1:56] surfaced in Iraq. Information about
[1:58] people sent to the country's largest
[2:00] city to put bombs on its subways. ABC's
[2:03] Dan Harris has been reporting on this
[2:05] threat and how the city is dealing with
[2:07] it. Dan.
[2:08] >> Bob. New Yorkers started to learn about
[2:09] this threat very late in the day. The
[2:11] information started coming out right in
[2:13] the middle of rush hour and just a short
[2:15] while ago, the city city officials
[2:17] started taking very public action.
[2:20] The beefed up security was visible
[2:22] tonight in the New York City subway
[2:23] system. Police sources tell ABC News
[2:26] that many officers from the dayshift
[2:28] were held over through the evening rush
[2:29] hour. We're also told heavy weapons
[2:32] teams are moving through the subway
[2:33] system.
[2:34] >> We have never had before a specific
[2:37] threat to our subway system. ABC News
[2:41] has learned that information about the
[2:42] threat came after several known
[2:44] insurgents were arrested several days
[2:46] ago in northeastern Iraq near the
[2:48] Iranian border. According to these
[2:50] sources, one of the Iraqis arrested
[2:53] spoke about a plot to plant bombs in
[2:55] briefcases in the New York City subway
[2:57] system and that some of the terrorists
[2:59] were either here or on their way.
[3:02] Officials have not been able to
[3:04] corroborate this information, however,
[3:06] but they felt it was credible enough to
[3:08] warrant alerting the public and
[3:10] increasing security. I wanted to assure
[3:12] New Yorkers that we have done and will
[3:16] continue to do everything we can to
[3:19] protect this city. We will spare no
[3:22] resource. We will spare no expense. They
[3:26] have to take this seriously because it's
[3:28] a very specific threat and it's from
[3:30] someone who we know to be a terrorist
[3:32] and who was captured in Iraq.
[3:35] >> Obviously it would be in my mind but
[3:36] it's not it wouldn't stop me from taking
[3:38] the trains.
[3:39] >> I'm going to take the subway going up
[3:41] town and tomorrow morning I'm going to
[3:43] do what I always do. Get on the train
[3:46] and go to work. And I know a lot of
[3:48] other New Yorkers will do exactly the
[3:50] same thing. It's worth noting the
[3:52] Department of Homeland Security in
[3:54] Washington is telling ABC News that the
[3:56] US intelligence community has determined
[3:58] this threat to be of quote doubtful
[4:00] credibility. Clearly, however, officials
[4:02] here in New York City are taking the
[4:04] threat very seriously. In particular,
[4:05] they say they'll be keeping an
[4:07] especially close eye on briefcases and
[4:09] baby strollers, either of which could be
[4:11] used, Bob, to carry bombs.
[4:12] >> People should stay vigilant. Dan Harris,
[4:14] thanks.
[4:15] >> President Bush delivered a major speech
[4:17] on terrorism today. Mr. Bush said that
[4:19] the US and its allies have disrupted
[4:21] what he called at least 10 serious
[4:23] al-Qaeda terrorist plots since September
[4:25] 11th, including three inside this
[4:28] country, which is something we have not
[4:30] heard before. He also talked about
[4:31] resilience in the face of terror.
[4:34] the image. There's always a temptation
[4:38] in the middle of a long struggle
[4:40] to seek the quiet life,
[4:44] to escape the duties and problems of the
[4:46] world,
[4:48] and to hope the enemy grows weary of
[4:50] fanaticism and tired of murder.
[4:54] This would be a pleasant world,
[4:57] but it's not the world we live in. The
[4:59] Bush administration is trying to deal
[5:01] today with a significant setback to its
[5:03] policy on terror suspects. Late last
[5:06] night, the Senate voted 90-9 in favor of
[5:09] an amendment that would prohibit the use
[5:11] of cruel, inhuman, or degrading
[5:13] treatment of anyone in US custody,
[5:15] regardless of where they are being held.
[5:17] The vote and the debate over
[5:19] interrogations demonstrate that many in
[5:21] the president's own party are
[5:22] increasingly reluctant to give him free
[5:24] reign in the war on terror. ABC's Martha
[5:27] Ratits is at the Pentagon tonight.
[5:28] Martha
[5:29] >> Bob, the debate over this amendment has
[5:31] been very passionate with Senator John
[5:33] McCain leading the fight against the
[5:36] White House.
[5:38] >> Senator McCain made the debate personal.
[5:40] He suffered more than 5 years as a
[5:43] prisoner of war in Vietnam and feels
[5:45] that the US should never mistreat its
[5:48] prisoners.
[5:49] >> Many of my comrades were subjected to
[5:51] very cruel, very inhumane and degrading
[5:54] treatment. But every one of us, every
[5:56] single one of us knew and took great
[5:58] strength from the belief that we were
[6:00] different from our enemies.
[6:01] >> The amendment would mean that the US
[6:03] military could not isolate prisoners for
[6:06] long periods of time, strip prisoners
[6:08] for extended periods, use dogs, or
[6:11] humiliate prisoners in any way. The
[6:14] administration insisted again today that
[6:17] restricting interrogation techniques
[6:19] will limit the ability to get valuable
[6:21] information from detainees. The
[6:23] president's advisers would recommend a
[6:25] veto if there are uh any of these kinds
[6:28] of amendments that would restrict the
[6:29] president's flexibility in defending the
[6:30] United States against terrorism.
[6:32] >> But the White House had only nine
[6:34] senators on its side and some very
[6:37] powerful senior military officials
[6:39] supporting the amendment including
[6:41] former Secretary of State Coen Powell
[6:44] who says the stricter guidelines would
[6:46] help the US. It sends a message to the
[6:48] rest of the world that there now, you
[6:50] know, are no questions left about what
[6:52] standards our troops to follow. It's
[6:54] good for our image overseas.
[6:55] >> An image which was seriously tarnished
[6:58] by the scandal at Abu Grae prison and
[7:00] allegations of mistreatment at
[7:02] Guantanamo where as many as 200
[7:04] prisoners have joined in a hunger
[7:06] strike.
[7:08] >> The president might be thinking twice
[7:10] about a veto now, Bob, since this is
[7:12] attached to a military spending bill.
[7:16] ABC's Martha Ratits at the Pentagon.
[7:17] Thank you, Martha. The urgent
[7:19] investigation into the spy who managed
[7:21] to infiltrate the White House continues
[7:23] tonight. ABC's Brian Ross broke the
[7:25] story last night on this program. And
[7:27] since then, there have been an enormous
[7:29] number of questions about how much
[7:31] damage was done by the former Marine
[7:33] accused of giving top secret information
[7:35] to the government of the Philippines.
[7:37] And tonight, Brian has more exclusive
[7:38] information about how such a secure
[7:41] place, Brian, could have been
[7:42] compromised.
[7:42] >> Right, Bob. The investigation now is
[7:44] quickly expanding as federal officials
[7:46] learn more about what the alleged White
[7:48] House spy was stealing, how he operated,
[7:50] and how he was recruited.
[7:54] A team of FBI agents continued working
[7:56] today inside the vice president's
[7:58] office. Some 35 employees are being
[8:01] questioned about their dealings with
[8:02] Leandro Arangio during his three years
[8:05] at the White House. We take all
[8:07] investigations uh of course very very
[8:09] seriously particularly investigations
[8:11] that might involve uh jeopardizing uh
[8:13] very sensitive information relating to
[8:15] the actions of our government. Federal
[8:17] officials tell ABC News the recruitment
[8:19] of the alleged White House spy began in
[8:21] July 2000 when the then president of the
[8:24] Philippines Joseph Estrada came to the
[8:26] White House for a state visit with
[8:27] President Clinton and met Aron Gansio.
[8:30] Officials say Estrada and his aids used
[8:32] offers of money and appeals to ethnic
[8:34] loyalties to recruit Aron Gansio, who
[8:37] was a half million dollars in debt.
[8:39] >> Filipinos would want to know from their
[8:41] perspective, what is the US going to do?
[8:44] What are they going to give us in terms
[8:45] of military support? What decisions are
[8:47] they going to make?
[8:48] >> At the time of the recruitment, Arin
[8:49] Godzio was working as an intelligence
[8:51] analyst for Vice President Gore. He
[8:53] later told Philippine Television he was
[8:56] eager to stay on and work for Vice
[8:57] President Cheney. And everybody was
[8:59] asked if they want to stay and they
[9:01] asked me and I said well you know
[9:04] I wouldn't have to think twice.
[9:06] >> Officials say even after the Philippines
[9:08] president Estrada was forced out of
[9:09] office for corruption Arin Godzio
[9:11] continued to feed him secret information
[9:13] in an apparent attempt to start a coup.
[9:16] the notion that classified documents
[9:18] would be transferred from the vice
[9:20] president's office into the hands of
[9:22] some uh uh political party uh
[9:26] challenging the regime of a foreign
[9:28] country is is is is staggering.
[9:30] >> Officials say Aron Gonzale passed
[9:32] several lie detector tests and when he
[9:34] sought work last year as an FBI analyst
[9:36] at Fort Mammoth, New Jersey, officials
[9:38] say he was put on a fasttrack hiring
[9:41] plan because of his known connections to
[9:43] the White House. Officials tell ABC News
[9:46] they have discovered that Aaron Gansio,
[9:48] who was assigned to M East Affairs, was
[9:50] downloading classified files involving a
[9:52] second country other than the
[9:54] Philippines, but they would not disclose
[9:56] the name of the country. Bob Aron Gonio
[9:58] is now being held in a jail in New
[10:00] Jersey under a suicide watch.
[10:02] >> Once again, Brian, thank you. There was
[10:04] news out of Washington today that the
[10:06] president's chief political adviser,
[10:08] Carl Rove, would testify for a fourth
[10:11] time before a grand jury, which is
[10:13] investigating who illegally leaked the
[10:15] identity of a CIA officer's name. ABC's
[10:18] George Stephanopoulos joins us now.
[10:20] George, three times in front of a grand
[10:22] jury is fairly unusual. Why is Mr. Rove
[10:24] doing this now for a fourth time? Well,
[10:26] I was just speaking with Carl Ro's
[10:28] attorney just as we were going on air,
[10:29] and he said that the prosecutor has
[10:31] written to Carl Ro, asked him to come
[10:33] back for a fourth time. He insists that
[10:36] Carl Rove has not received a formal
[10:38] target letter from the grand jury, but
[10:40] also says that the prosecutor has not uh
[10:44] guaranteed that Carl Rove will not be
[10:45] indicted. and other sources very close
[10:48] to this investigation all say that this
[10:50] unusual appearance this late in the game
[10:52] spells trouble for Rove. That the
[10:54] prosecutor would want him back either to
[10:56] recant earlier testimony, to clarify
[10:59] earlier testimony, or to give him one
[11:01] last chance to talk his way out of a
[11:04] possible indictment.
[11:05] >> George Stephanopoulos, thank you from
[11:07] Washington tonight. President Bush's
[11:09] nominee for the Supreme Court, Harriet
[11:11] Meyers, was on Capitol Hill again today
[11:13] meeting with senators. After spending
[11:15] some time with Miss Meyers, one
[11:17] Republican, Sam Brownback of Kansas, who
[11:19] sits on the judiciary committee, said he
[11:21] still has quote concerns. Senator
[11:24] Brownback also says he is prepared to
[11:25] vote against Miss Meyers even if
[11:27] President Bush makes a personal plea.
[11:31] When we return, scam artists preying on
[11:34] hurricane victims so brazen even field
[11:37] hardened prosecutors are shocked. We'll
[11:39] take a closer look. Medicine on the
[11:41] cutting edge. The vaccine that's 100%
[11:44] effective against the virus that causes
[11:46] cervical cancer. Millions of girls could
[11:49] be vaccinated next year. And one woman's
[11:52] remarkable battle sending in the dogs to
[11:56] save the cheetahs.

[12:22] >> We're proud to be Verizon. Our people,
[12:25] our network.
[12:30] You jelling?
[12:31] >> No telling how much I'm jelling. You
[12:33] jelling.
[12:33] >> I'm like mud jelling. I'm so jelling.
[12:36] >> Quit yelling. We're jelling.
[12:38] >> Dr. Scholes massaging gel insoles are so
[12:40] soft they make any shoe feel
[12:42] outrageously comfortable. Are you
[12:43] jelling? Dr. Scholes.
[12:46] >> That's everything.
[12:51] >> Oh, sweet Bachelor P. That's what I'm
[12:53] talking about. Let's get it on.
[12:58] From digital music players and LCD TVs
[13:01] to laptops and digital cameras, when it
[13:04] comes to living the digital lifestyle,
[13:06] bring it home at the Walmart price.
[13:11] Dinner is squeezed.
[13:15] Nice.
[13:31] Scoop away. Cat litter. Clumps so tight.
[13:34] It only takes one scoop. Scoop away. One
[13:38] scoop. Done.
[13:46] If you're over 50 and take calcium, you
[13:49] may be cheating your bones if you don't
[13:50] get enough vitamin D. Yet Tums has none.

[13:55] optimize calcium absorption. Get more
[13:58] with great tasting fruit flavored

[14:03] >> My mom has arthritis. Taking Bear keeps
[14:06] her music playing. My brother has a bad
[14:09] knee. Taking Bear keeps his game going.
[14:12] And what really amazed me was when Bear
[14:14] helped my father keep living. He took it
[14:17] during a heart attack.
[14:19] Bear helped save his life. Nothing else
[14:22] I know does so much.
[14:25] >> So when I'm in pain, what do you think
[14:27] I'm going to choose?
[14:28] >> Genuine Bear like no other pain reliever
[14:30] in the world.
[14:36] >> We're going to take a closer look
[14:38] tonight at the economic fallout in the
[14:40] scam artist spawned by Hurricane
[14:42] Katrina. We learned today that the
[14:44] financial picture is about to get worse
[14:46] for a lot of people in the hurricane
[14:47] zone. Many banks will again demand
[14:50] mortgage payments starting December 1st.
[14:51] Unemployment filings in Louisiana have
[14:54] gone up six-fold to 183,000 people a
[14:57] week. And the New Orleans Chamber of
[14:59] Commerce says 30,000 businesses, nearly
[15:02] half of those operating before Katrina,
[15:04] face a significant risk of failure. All
[15:07] that bad news has done little to soften
[15:09] the hearts of con artists. Even longtime
[15:11] law enforcement officials are surprised
[15:13] at the boldness of their schemes. ABC's
[15:16] Pierre Thomas has more.
[15:19] The FBI made a series of arrests this
[15:21] week in a scam to steal money intended
[15:24] for Hurricane Katrina victims.
[15:26] >> Every now and again, you encounter a
[15:27] case that sort of shocks you in terms of
[15:31] the the moral vacuum that exists among
[15:34] those that are perpetrating these
[15:35] crimes, and this is clearly one of
[15:36] those.
[15:37] >> In this case, it was an inside job
[15:39] involving a company hired by the Red
[15:41] Cross. employees were to help hurricane
[15:44] victims get relief money from Western
[15:46] Union accounts. Instead, the FBI says
[15:49] employees stole the victim's PIN numbers
[15:51] and withdrew wads of cash as much as
[15:53] $1,600 at a time. In just 4 days, they
[15:57] stole $25,000.
[15:59] >> We anticipate that the loss will grow
[16:01] substantially in the days ahead.
[16:03] >> In other cases, criminals are posing as
[16:05] evacuees to steal $2,000 relief checks
[16:08] from FEMA. And take a look at this
[16:11] website called Air Katrina. It appealed
[16:13] for donations, claiming to represent a
[16:16] charity which was airlifting emergency
[16:18] supplies and flying sick children to
[16:20] hospitals. In one posting, it said, "If
[16:23] we didn't have the plane, I don't think
[16:25] the little baby would have survived."
[16:27] The website, which raised $40,000 in two
[16:30] days, boasts, "No money will be wasted."
[16:32] None.
[16:33] >> None of it was true. There were no
[16:35] flights. There were no medical supplies.
[16:37] he wasn't rescuing children
[16:39] >> to cope with the expected wave of scams.
[16:41] The government has set up a special
[16:43] Katrina task force.
[16:44] >> Okay. Uh we have about 70 uh cases that
[16:47] have been developed and referred out
[16:48] >> and is running public service
[16:50] announcements encouraging hurricane
[16:52] victims to report any fraud.
[16:53] >> If you know of anyone abusing the
[16:55] disaster assistance programs,
[16:57] >> investigators believe these scams are
[16:59] just the tip of the iceberg. This is
[17:01] hosted in Germany right now
[17:02] >> as criminals tried to take advantage of
[17:04] billions of dollars in disaster relief
[17:06] money. Pierre Thomas, ABC News,
[17:09] Washington. Our closer look tonight,
[17:11] another hurricane note in Central
[17:12] America. The death toll from the
[17:14] remnants of Hurricane Stan has soared to
[17:17] at least 211 people. There are
[17:19] unconfirmed reports that as many as 800
[17:22] people may be missing in Guatemala
[17:24] alone.
[17:25] When we come back, the first vaccine

[17:32] It's medicine on the cutting edge.
[17:38] >> World News Tonight and Medicine on the
[17:40] cutting edge brought to you by Nexium.
[17:47] >> Me? I'm a problem solver. One problem I
[17:49] thought I'd solved, my acid reflux
[17:52] disease. I thought it was just bad
[17:54] heartburn. But when I went back to my
[17:56] doctor, he told me over time stomach
[17:58] acid had damaged the lining of my
[17:59] esophagus. He prescribed Nexium. Said I
[18:02] needed more than heartburn relief. My
[18:04] esophagus needed repair. Nexium healed
[18:07] the erosions in my esophagus. And one
[18:09] prescription Nexium pill a day keeps me
[18:10] healed and relieves my heartburn. My
[18:12] doctor did say other serious stomach
[18:14] conditions may still exist. And
[18:16] headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain
[18:18] could be side effects of Nexium. Even
[18:20] the best problem solvers need a little
[18:22] help sometimes. Ask your doctor about
[18:24] Nexium, the healing purple pill.

[20:24] dirty little secret. Pornography. From
[20:26] the pews to the pulpit. The surprising
[20:29] campaign of hope and healing. On World
[20:31] News Tonight,
[20:34] >> we have news tonight of a major medical
[20:36] breakthrough. Researchers have found
[20:38] what could be the first vaccine designed
[20:40] to prevent cancer. An important new
[20:43] study found the vaccine 100% effective
[20:45] against a virus that can cause cervical
[20:48] cancer. In the US, 10,000 women are
[20:50] diagnosed with the disease every year.
[20:52] 4,000 die. ABC's John McKenzie with
[20:55] today's exciting announcement. It's
[20:57] medicine on the cutting edge.
[21:00] >> Rarely has an experimental vaccine
[21:03] generated so much excitement. They're
[21:05] talking about a vaccine that would have
[21:07] a major impact on the welfare of women
[21:09] in this country. the first vaccine
[21:12] designed to actually prevent cancer.
[21:14] >> It's actually a very unique uh
[21:16] situation. There's nothing like this in
[21:18] any other type of cancer out there.
[21:21] >> A vaccine many doctors have been eagerly
[21:23] awaiting.
[21:24] >> It will save thousands of women's lives
[21:26] in the United States.
[21:27] >> The study reported today involved more
[21:29] than 10,000 women 16 to 26 years old.
[21:32] Half were given injections of the
[21:34] vaccine. Half were given dummy or
[21:36] placebo shots. Two years later, among
[21:39] those who got the placebo shots, 21
[21:41] developed precancerous growth. Among
[21:44] those getting the actual vaccine, not
[21:47] one.
[21:47] >> So, this vaccine targets the types of
[21:50] virus that are most commonly triggering
[21:53] the cervical cancer.
[21:54] >> Cervical cancer is caused by strains of
[21:56] the common sexually transmitted human
[21:59] papilloma virus. What the vaccine is
[22:01] doing is getting a person's immune
[22:04] system, just like you get vaccinated
[22:06] against tetanus or polio, to recognize
[22:09] this virus as a foreign invader. The
[22:11] immune system will react and shut it
[22:13] down.
[22:14] >> The study results announced today will
[22:15] now be submitted to the Food and Drug
[22:17] Administration. If the vaccine is
[22:19] approved, it could be available as early
[22:20] as next year to inoculate girls as young
[22:23] as 10 to 12 years old.
[22:24] >> I would absolutely consider it. I think
[22:26] any concerned mother would absolutely
[22:28] would be wonderful. This is one less
[22:30] potential
[22:32] crisis that my daughter can avert.
[22:35] >> One cancer future generations of women
[22:37] may not have to face. John McKenzie, ABC
[22:40] News, New York.
[22:42] >> You can find more on cervical cancer and
[22:45] the new vaccine at abcnews.com.
[22:48] One more item from the frontiers of
[22:50] science. Researchers have documented an
[22:52] epic trip by a great white shark called
[22:55] Nicole 12,000 m from Australia to Africa
[22:58] and back. The first known roundtrip
[23:01] ocean crossing by a great white.
[23:03] Researchers said the big swim challenges
[23:05] the idea that sharks are ocean nomads
[23:08] that roam aimlessly.
[23:10] When we come back, why have these
[23:12] puppies been sent to Africa? It's their
[23:15] job to save the majestic cheetah from
[23:17] extinction.

[26:26] >> Finally, tonight, no creature on Earth
[26:28] can outrun the cheetah. But now, these
[26:30] remarkable animals are in a desperate
[26:32] race for survival. There are just 13,000
[26:35] left, down from a 100,000 a century ago.
[26:38] An American scientist has come up with
[26:40] an innovative approach to save them. The
[26:43] African nation of Namibia is one of the
[26:44] world's richest cheetah habitats. And
[26:46] ABC's Mike Lee is there.
[26:50] >> They move with grace and style up to 66
[26:54] m an hour.
[26:55] >> Those eyes that look kind of through you
[26:57] and beyond you into a distant place,
[27:00] they have won my heart.
[27:01] >> Dr. Lorie Marker, a zoologologist from
[27:03] Oregon, moved here 15 years ago to
[27:06] devote her life to cheetahs.
[27:08] >> A purr which just radiates through you.
[27:10] >> What little territory cheetahs have left
[27:12] here is disappearing. Much of it turned
[27:15] into livestock farms.
[27:17] >> This would be a great meal for the
[27:18] cheetahs.
[27:19] >> Sheep, goats, and cattle are an
[27:20] irresistible slowmoving buffet for
[27:22] cheetahs. So farmers kill them or trap
[27:25] them in order to protect their herds and
[27:27] flocks. And the farm worker had chased
[27:29] down the family of cubs and grabbed this
[27:32] one and then hit it in the head and
[27:33] kicked it. We're not.
[27:34] >> She calls him little Peeps. Peeps is one
[27:38] of dozens of cheetah orphans staying at
[27:40] this thousand acre sanctuary Dr. Marker
[27:42] has built here. They receive medical
[27:44] care and food.
[27:46] >> As I arrived here, you people wondered
[27:48] you what is this American woman doing?
[27:50] What she is doing is giving farmers an
[27:53] alternative to killing cheetahs
[27:57] by providing them with these
[28:00] Anatolian shepherd dogs from Turkey.
[28:03] They may be cute now, but they become
[28:05] very large, very attached to their herds
[28:08] and flocks, and very aggressive when
[28:10] cheetahs approach.
[28:13] >> A cheetah does not want to be hurt, and
[28:16] so their instinct is to run away. far
[28:19] greater majority of farmers have had
[28:22] good success with the dogs and are very
[28:24] satisfied with their dogs and uh it has
[28:27] a project that has really been a great
[28:29] success.
[28:30] >> We found that it's reduced the number of
[28:32] cheetahs being killed and farmers don't
[28:34] lose their livestock.
[28:36] >> Now Lori Marker is trying to convince
[28:38] farmers in other countries to use guard
[28:40] dogs rather than guns and traps to save
[28:43] their livestock and save her beloved
[28:46] cheetahs. Mike Lee, ABC News, Otawango,
[28:49] Namibia.

[28:53] the cats. That's World News Tonight.
