[0:00] hardest hit crime areas. We'll see you

[0:01] at 6. Good night.

[0:06] >> On World News Tonight this Wednesday,

[0:09] Monica Lewinsky is now prepared to

[0:11] contradict the president's claim about

[0:13] what happened between them. New arrests

[0:15] and a confession in the US embassy

[0:17] bombings and new information pointing to

[0:20] the FBI's number one suspect. And

[0:24] America's growing shortage of teachers.

[0:26] Desperate times require desperate

[0:29] measures. We'll take a closer look.

[0:39] From ABC News World Headquarters in New

[0:42] York, this is World News Tonight with

[0:45] Peter Jennings. Sitting in tonight,

[0:47] Forest Sawyer.

[0:49] >> Good evening. It appears the crisis

[0:50] surrounding President Clinton is growing

[0:52] worse, possibly much worse. Both Monica

[0:56] Lewinsky and Linda Trip are scheduled to

[0:57] appear again tomorrow before the grand

[0:59] jury. And Lewinsk's testimony is

[1:02] critical. Sources say she is prepared to

[1:04] say the president did not tell the truth

[1:07] either under oath or to the American

[1:10] people. At issue, the nature of the

[1:12] sexual contact between them and whether

[1:14] the president may have committed

[1:16] perjury. ABC's Sam Donaldson is at the

[1:19] White House. Sam

[1:20] >> Forest. When Monica Lewinsky appears

[1:22] before the grand jury tomorrow, she's

[1:24] expected to repeat testimony that will

[1:26] directly conflict with what the

[1:28] president told the American people

[1:29] Monday night in that it will tend to

[1:31] contradict his assertion that he did not

[1:33] commit perjury last January. In his

[1:36] January deposition to Paulo Jones

[1:38] lawyers, when Mr. Clinton was asked

[1:40] whether he had had sexual relations with

[1:41] Lewinsky using a definition of sex

[1:44] approved by the court, he replied that

[1:46] he had not. Was that a lie that

[1:48] constituted perjury? On Monday night,

[1:50] the president said it wasn't.

[1:52] >> While my answers were legally accurate,

[1:54] I did not volunteer information.

[1:57] >> Legally correct, the president maintains

[1:59] because he interpreted the definition

[2:00] given him as describing a one-way

[2:02] street. If it was Lewinsky who had

[2:05] touched Mr. Clinton, he could say he had

[2:07] not had sexual relations with her.

[2:10] Lewinsk's testimony is that the

[2:12] president also initiated contact with

[2:14] her to arouse and gratify her. And if

[2:17] Lewinsky's testimony is to be believed,

[2:19] the president then has lied in the

[2:21] deposition and in his address to the

[2:23] nation. Another point the grand jury may

[2:25] want to go over again is how gifts Mr.

[2:28] Clinton gave Lewinsky came into the

[2:30] possession of presidential secretary

[2:31] Betty Curry. ABC News has been told that

[2:34] when the president was asked by the

[2:36] prosecutors on Monday whether he in any

[2:38] way instructed Curry to ask Lewinsky for

[2:40] the gifts back, which might constitute

[2:43] obstruction of justice, he did not give

[2:45] a definitive answer. Then there's the

[2:48] matter of the presidential necktie. On

[2:50] August 6th, the day Lewinsky began her

[2:52] testimony, the president was in the Rose

[2:54] Garden at a gun control ceremony wearing

[2:56] a necktie that Lewinsky says she gave

[2:58] him on his birthday in 1996. She is said

[3:02] to have told the president, "When I see

[3:04] you wearing this tie, I will know that I

[3:06] am close to your heart." Prosecutors

[3:09] want to know if he wore it on the day

[3:11] she was to testify as a signal to her,

[3:14] hoping she would not say anything

[3:15] damaging, and would that be an attempt

[3:17] to obstruct justice? In any case,

[3:20] Lewinsky didn't know he was wearing her

[3:22] tie until she came out of the jury room

[3:24] and saw him on the news. Twice before

[3:26] this summer, the president wore the same

[3:28] tie. on June 24th as he was preparing to

[3:31] leave for China. And on July 9th in

[3:34] Atlanta, there is another issue about

[3:36] the tie. In January, the White House

[3:38] received a subpoena demanding Mr.

[3:40] Clinton turn over any and all gifts

[3:42] Lewinsky may have given him. He turned

[3:44] over some gifts. Why didn't he turn over

[3:47] the tie? On Martha's Vineyard, where

[3:49] he's vacationing, the president today

[3:51] celebrated his 52nd birthday out of

[3:54] sight and according to his spokesman,

[3:56] very quietly. It's going to be kind of a

[3:58] quiet, relaxing time to deal with what

[4:02] the family's obviously dealing with at

[4:03] this point,

[4:04] >> just physical ones.

[4:07] >> Lewinsky is also dealing with her life

[4:09] today. According to friends, she's

[4:10] having an extremely difficult time in

[4:12] the aftermath of the president's speech

[4:14] Monday night, which contained no apology

[4:16] to her or her family. They say the

[4:18] president's words and deeds convinced

[4:20] her that there were emotional ties

[4:22] between them and not just physical ones.

[4:24] One friend told ABC News he lied to

[4:27] protect her. Now this. And incidentally,

[4:29] Forest, it may be moot now because the

[4:31] president has confirmed he had sexual

[4:33] contact with Lewinsky. But ABC News has

[4:35] now confirmed that the president has

[4:37] given a DNA sample, a DNA sample to the

[4:40] prosecutors, presumably to check that

[4:43] infamous dress.

[4:44] >> All right, Sam at the White House. Sam

[4:45] Donaldson. Thanks very much, Sam. Well,

[4:47] while public opinion polls do show the

[4:49] majority of Americans accepted what the

[4:51] president said in his address on Monday

[4:53] night among some members of Mr.

[4:55] Clinton's own party, the reaction is not

[4:58] good. Here's ABC's Linda Douglas.

[5:02] >> At times of crisis, the White House

[5:04] waits anxiously for the reaction of

[5:06] Democrat Daniel Patrick Moahan, one of

[5:08] the Senate's most respected members.

[5:10] >> We're talking to New York Senator Daniel

[5:12] Patrick Moan. Today on a call-in radio

[5:14] show, Moahan ripped into the president's

[5:17] speech.

[5:17] >> The speech, if you want to call 4

[5:19] minutes of speech, uh uh was not

[5:23] adequate to its purpose. I mean, the

[5:25] president had uh um put an awful lot of

[5:28] people through terrible times for the

[5:31] last 7 months. And it was a time to just

[5:33] stand up and say, "I apologize." He he

[5:36] didn't say that.

[5:37] >> Privately, many Democrats have been much

[5:39] harsher than Moahan was today. One

[5:41] Democratic House member told ABC News he

[5:44] was nauseated by the president's speech.

[5:46] Another said the president blew it. One

[5:49] senator said, "Mr. Clinton's actions

[5:51] wreak of humiliation and decadence."

[5:53] Democrats face a major dilemma as they

[5:55] head into the fall elections. How do

[5:57] they separate themselves from the

[5:59] president's behavior without hurting

[6:00] their party?

[6:01] >> I do not think um that people who are in

[6:06] the House and Senate should be held

[6:08] accountable for this. This This is

[6:09] absolutely shocking and I'm sure every

[6:12] one of them feels just sickened by it.

[6:16] >> Even the most critical Democrats say

[6:17] they will reserve final judgment until

[6:19] the independent council sends his report

[6:21] to Congress. Today, Senator Moahan urged

[6:24] Kenna Star to hurry, saying the country

[6:26] cannot have a disabled president. It

[6:28] needs a commanderin-chief.

[6:30] Linda Douglas, ABC News, Capitol Hill.

[6:33] >> In just a moment, some of the day other

[6:35] news, breakthroughs in the embassy

[6:37] bombing case. A load of new evidence and

[6:41] dueling dollars squeezing American

[6:44] business.

[6:47] >> This is World News Tonight with Peter

[6:49] Jennings, brought to you by Quaker

[6:51] Toasted Oatmeal.

[6:54] >> I got a letter back from Quaker. You

[6:56] wrote to Quaker, told him Quaker Toasted

[6:58] Oatmeal ought to be called Quaker Tasty

[7:00] Oatmeal. It's oatmeal. It's toasted. To

[7:02] me, that says tasty.

[7:04] >> Well, then they should call it that.

[7:06] >> Quaker toasted oatmeal. Crisp oatmeal

[7:08] flakes with honey sweetened oat

[7:09] clusters.

[7:10] >> Well, they thank me for my interest, but

[7:11] said product will remain Quaker toasted

[7:14] oatmeal.

[7:14] >> What a shock.

[7:15] >> Quaker tasty uh toasted oatmeal, your

[7:18] other oatmeal.

[7:19] >> And now Quaker Honey Nut toasted oatmeal

[7:21] has 20% more almonds.

[7:23] >> Ooh, yum.

[7:40] >> You can get your dentures fresh

[7:42] >> or extra fresh.

[7:45] >> Only Effort Plus has Listerine

[7:47] ingredients to get them extra fresh.

[7:52] Ephrodent Plus, the plus is extra

[7:54] freshness.

[7:55] >> It hurts so bad. That burning sensation.

[7:59] So I saw my doctor. He said where

[8:01] heartburn hurts most is where myanta

[8:04] works fast. All down through here where

[8:06] you want help fast. My doctor said

[8:09] myanta.

[8:11] >> International news tonight. Two major

[8:13] developments related to the embassy

[8:15] bombings in Africa. First, a new threat

[8:17] against Americans and it comes from a

[8:19] group affiliated with Osama bin Laden.

[8:22] That Saudi millionaire US officials

[8:24] believe may have ordered the bombings.

[8:27] The group apologizes for the loss of

[8:29] African lives, but says, quote, "The

[8:31] coming days will see that America meets

[8:34] a black fate. And in Kenya itself today,

[8:37] a suspect in custody is providing

[8:39] crucial information about the bombing."

[8:41] His information led US investigators to

[8:44] a Nairobi hotel. Here's ABC's Morton

[8:46] Dean.

[8:48] >> The Hilltop Hotel was raided by a force

[8:50] of more than 20 US and Kenyan federal

[8:53] agents. They were heavily armed

[8:55] >> with what? Pistols? No,

[8:57] >> big guns.

[8:58] >> No. Yeah, big guns.

[8:59] >> Big guns. Yeah.

[9:00] >> The agents knew exactly where they

[9:02] wanted to go. To rooms A107 and B 102.

[9:07] >> This has been dusted for fingerprints by

[9:10] the FBI.

[9:12] >> The agents believe that part of the

[9:14] bomb's detonator was made in one of the

[9:16] hotel rooms by three men who checked out

[9:18] the day before the bombing.

[9:20] >> Did they find anything in those two

[9:22] rooms?

[9:22] >> No,

[9:23] >> they were empty.

[9:24] >> They're empty. After they checked out,

[9:26] the trio fled together on a flight to

[9:29] Pakistan. One of them is believed to

[9:31] have been Muhammad Sadi Oda, who was

[9:34] arrested in Pakistan and turned over to

[9:36] authorities in Kenya last Friday. ABC

[9:40] News has learned that Oda is providing

[9:42] an extraordinary amount of detailed

[9:44] information to US and Kenyan

[9:46] investigators. It led investigators to

[9:49] the hotel and to the arrests of two

[9:52] other men, a Saudi and a Sudin, who were

[9:55] trying to pass through this checkpoint

[9:57] from Pakistan into Afghanistan. And ABC

[10:00] News has also learned that Oda has given

[10:02] the Americans a confession and that his

[10:05] information may be good enough to

[10:07] produce indictments. Indictments which

[10:09] may contain the name of Osama bin Laden,

[10:12] the self-proclaimed godfather of

[10:14] international terrorism. Orundine, ABC

[10:18] News, Nairobi.

[10:20] >> US officials have said repeatedly they

[10:22] will spare no effort to track down the

[10:24] bombers. But if Osama bin Laden was the

[10:27] mastermind, arresting him requires

[10:29] either massive firepower or some very

[10:32] delicate diplomacy. Here's ABC's John

[10:34] McQuey.

[10:37] >> For now, the US must pin its hopes for

[10:39] apprehending Osama bin Laden on these

[10:42] people. They are the Taliban, Muslim

[10:45] fundamentalists who rule Afghanistan and

[10:48] who US intelligence sources believe get

[10:50] millions in bribes from Bin Laden

[10:52] himself to allow him to stay. In a

[10:55] statement today, the Taliban said

[10:57] Washington should present its evidence

[11:00] against Bin Laden and then quote, "We

[11:02] will punish him here. It is not right to

[11:05] give a Muslim to an infidel country."

[11:08] The US still hopes it can offer

[11:10] Afghanistan something bin Laden cannot.

[11:13] Something the Taliban say they badly

[11:16] want. Diplomatic recognition and a seat

[11:18] at the United Nations, legitimacy. But

[11:22] even if the Taliban agreed to hand over

[11:24] Bin Laden, intelligence sources say it

[11:26] is not at all clear they could do it.

[11:28] The US would then be left with the

[11:30] option of going after the terrorist

[11:32] leader with or without the permission of

[11:35] the Afghan rulers. Though Pentagon

[11:37] sources say very preliminary planning

[11:39] has begun for such a mission, if it is

[11:42] ever actually executed, they fear

[11:44] American casualties could be very high.

[11:47] John McQuey, ABC News, the Pentagon.

[11:50] When we come back, closer to home, why

[11:52] an American city is searching for

[11:54] teachers half a world away. We'll take a

[11:56] closer look.

[12:03] >> We're number 15 for takeoff. I should

[12:05] have used Preparation H.

[12:07] >> If you had, you wouldn't be suffering

[12:09] now. Preparation H helps stop itch and

[12:11] further irritation with a soothing layer

[12:13] of protection.

[12:14] >> I should have used Preparation H.

[12:16] >> Stops it stops irritation.

[12:19] >> Sun is rising.

[12:21] >> Shine.

[12:23] >> Looks like a great day.

[12:26] >> It's a great day for the comfort and

[12:28] convenience of changing tint transitions

[12:30] lenses. Indoors they lighten. Outdoors

[12:33] they darken. So lightweight plastic

[12:36] Transitions lenses are right in any

[12:38] light. Make the change to Transitions

[12:40] lenses and see for yourself.

[12:43] >> It's a great day.

[12:44] >> Transitions lenses. Right in any light

[12:46] and right for you.

[12:59] history of pain relief comes

[14:01] Seize the day with Kellogg Smart Start.

[14:07] >> Tonight, we're going to take a closer

[14:08] look at America's teacher shortage.

[14:11] Summer vacations ending for many

[14:12] children soon, but this year, while

[14:14] they've been away, schools all across

[14:16] the country have been trying to find

[14:18] enough teachers to fill the classrooms

[14:20] when they get back. The Department of

[14:22] Education says 2.4 million new teachers

[14:25] will be needed over the next decade.

[14:27] That's more than 200,000 new teachers

[14:30] each year. School systems, particularly

[14:32] in cities, will do almost anything to

[14:34] find new teachers for to the for the

[14:35] fall. And one of the most interesting

[14:37] recruiting efforts is by the school

[14:39] district of New York. Here's ABC's

[14:42] Michelle Norris.

[14:44] >> In the heart of this grand European

[14:46] capital, an interesting experiment is

[14:48] taking place.

[14:50] >> Would you describe for us why you

[14:52] decided to become a teacher?

[14:55] >> It's a It's a nice job. It's always

[14:59] always a challenge, always different.

[15:02] >> It's a transcontinental job interview.

[15:05] The candidates are in Vienna. The

[15:07] prospective employers half a world away.

[15:10] >> Know anything about Brooklyn?

[15:12] >> I know that Brooklyn is a part of New

[15:14] York, but that's all I know about it.

[15:16] >> It is one of the most ambitious attempts

[15:18] by any school system to find new

[15:21] teachers. But desperate times call for

[15:24] desperate measures. Why would New York

[15:26] City travel so far to find qualified

[15:29] teachers? It's a matter of simple

[15:30] arithmetic. The city needs to replace

[15:33] 40% of its teaching force. That's 25,000

[15:36] teachers over the next 5 years.

[15:39] >> Okay, so now remember the rule with

[15:41] equations.

[15:42] >> The greatest need, math and science

[15:44] teachers. But across America,

[15:46] highpaying, high-tech jobs are luring

[15:49] these potential teachers away.

[15:51] Meanwhile, in Austria, too many teachers

[15:54] are vying for too few jobs. Since we

[15:57] have too many teachers,

[16:00] it's quite natural to try to go where

[16:02] they have no teachers.

[16:04] >> New York's proposal allow 30 adventurous

[16:07] English-speaking Austrians to teach in

[16:10] New York City schools for one year.

[16:12] >> Here it meets our needs and over there

[16:14] it removes people from the unemployment

[16:17] roles.

[16:17] >> You will know of Brooklyn and Queens.

[16:20] >> The Austrians are better trained than

[16:22] many beginning American teachers. They

[16:24] will earn $30,000 a year, which won't go

[16:26] far in New York, but it's more than

[16:28] starting teachers earn back home.

[16:30] >> You will find the experience teaching

[16:33] New York City a very, yes, challenging

[16:35] experience.

[16:36] >> Dozens are eager to trade the quaintness

[16:38] of Austria

[16:42] for the cacophony of New York.

[16:46] But there will undoubtedly be

[16:47] challenges. how to handle New York, how

[16:51] to handle the diverse population, how to

[16:54] handle the multicultural issues that we

[16:56] face on a day-to-day basis. You have to

[16:58] be tough to live in New York and to

[17:00] teach in New York.

[17:01] >> To toughen up, the Austrians will take a

[17:04] crash course known as New York 101.

[17:07] They'll learn everything from school

[17:08] security to coping with New York's

[17:10] in-your-face bravado.

[17:12] >> So, what sh what problem

[17:14] >> that sometimes extends into the

[17:16] classroom? The students are much more uh

[17:19] quote unquote courageous. They ask

[17:21] questions. They challenge what the

[17:23] teacher is saying and they have their

[17:25] own opinions which they defend.

[17:27] >> The biggest challenge, culture shock.

[17:29] Vienna is a long way from New York. The

[17:32] city hopes these teachers can go the

[17:34] distance when they arrive in classrooms

[17:37] this fall. Michelle Norris, ABC News,

[17:40] New York.

[17:42] >> So, what is behind the teacher shortage?

[17:44] Well, schools say a push for smaller

[17:46] class sizes has increased demand for

[17:48] them. More and more children are

[17:50] entering school just as many experienced

[17:52] teachers are retiring. Experts also say

[17:55] an increasing number of teachers and

[17:57] prospective teachers are taking jobs in

[17:59] higher paying professions. And that's a

[18:01] trend that has been accelerated by the

[18:03] booming economy and by the tight job

[18:06] market. Still ahead, why are so many

[18:08] Americans going shopping north of the

[18:11] border?

[18:19] mustache and get a natural look? It's

[18:48] >> Heartburn at this hour is a nightmare.

[18:50] But the minute I take Mox, I know help

[18:53] >> One minute. Mox goes to work on stomach

[18:56] acid in 1 minute. Pepsidac could take

[18:58] over 45 minutes to affect acid. So count

[19:01] on 1 minute.

[19:03] >> Honey,

[19:05] is there anywhere that you can catch a

[19:07] Torilla?

[19:08] >> Look in the freezer.

[19:23] The amazing Hefty OneZip Food Bag. It

[19:26] clicks closed to lock in freshness. Ice

[19:29] cream.

[19:30] >> OneZip. The hefty duty food bag.

[20:03] Come on, kids. Kids, going back to

[20:05] school isn't that bad. I've got all new

[20:07] surprise for you. I wish I was going

[20:10] back to school. It can be fun. You get

[20:12] to learn about all sorts of things like

[20:14] HISTORY AND SCIENCE AND GEOGRAPHY and

[20:17] social studies and math.

[20:22] >> Now that's the attitude I want to hear.

[20:24] We love to learn.

[20:27] >> Staples has everything your kids need to

[20:29] go back to school at guaranteed low

[20:31] prices. Staples. Yeah, we've got that.

[20:35] In Boston today, popular columnist Mike

[20:37] Barnacle has abruptly resigned from the

[20:39] Boston Globe. A week ago, Barnacle was

[20:42] suspended from the paper for apparent

[20:43] plagiarism in one of his columns.

[20:46] Questions raised today about another

[20:48] column prompted his resignation.

[20:50] Economic news. The Asian economic crisis

[20:52] has begun to have an impact close to

[20:54] home and close to US pocketbooks. The

[20:57] problems in Asia have lowered the value

[20:59] of the Canadian dollar, which means a

[21:01] lot of Americans have been heading north

[21:03] looking for bargains. It also means

[21:05] Canadian dollars are not flowing south,

[21:07] and that has put a lot of American

[21:09] businesses in a bind. ABC's James Walker

[21:12] is in Ogdensburg, New York.

[21:17] Ogdensburg is right on the border with

[21:19] Canada, and business has gone sour. A

[21:22] shopping mall built to attract Canadian

[21:24] shoppers only attracts pigeons. 2 years

[21:27] ago at stores here, it took $1.37

[21:31] Canadian to buy one US worth of goods.

[21:34] Today, it takes $1.50 Canadian to buy

[21:36] the same thing. At Hackit Hardware,

[21:39] manager Norman Geralts has seen his

[21:41] Canadian customers disappear. Whereas we

[21:44] used to probably deposit somewhere

[21:46] between two and $3,000 a week in

[21:48] Canadian currency, uh, today it's

[21:50] virtually non-existent. Back in '92,

[21:53] some 800,000 Canadian cars filled with

[21:56] shoppers looking for deals crossed here

[21:58] into the US. But last year, as the value

[22:01] of the Canadian dollar continued to

[22:03] drop, 300,000 fewer cars made the trip.

[22:07] Lou Williams, who owns the Quality in

[22:09] Motel in Ogdensburg, says he's lost

[22:11] about 40% of his business. The Canadians

[22:14] basically are not coming across the

[22:16] border anymore. This summer has been

[22:18] hard on states from Maine to Washington

[22:20] that depend on tourist dollars. Even

[22:22] states like Florida and California,

[22:24] which thrive on winter tourism from

[22:25] Canada, are bracing for losses. American

[22:28] businesses are not just being hurt

[22:30] because Canadians are not coming here,

[22:32] but because Americans are going over

[22:34] there. I brought my kids over for school

[22:36] clothes shopping. Saved a bundle this

[22:38] year.

[22:39] >> A New Hampshire family bought this

[22:41] Canadianbuilt home for $4,200 less than

[22:44] what they would have paid in the United

[22:46] States. Which brings us back to Lou

[22:48] Williams in Ogdensburg. As worried as he

[22:51] is about the town's depressed economy,

[22:53] he too shops in Canada where he bought

[22:55] these door frames and saved $1,000.

[22:58] Still, he feels guilty.

[23:00] >> You're the president of the Chamber of

[23:01] Commerce.

[23:02] >> Okay.

[23:03] How does how does that Well, I I tell

[23:06] you, I don't want to do that.

[23:08] >> But he will along with thousands of

[23:10] other bargain hunters, even though

[23:11] that's hurting American business.

[23:14] >> James Walker, ABC News, Ogdensburg, New

[23:16] York.

[23:18] >> One other bit of economic news, Wall

[23:19] Street today. The Dow Jones Industrials

[23:21] dropped 21 points, closing at 8693. On

[23:24] the NASDAQ index, stocks were down 12

[23:27] points. When we come back, a story of

[23:29] terror and innocence.

[23:37] Shout it out.

[23:55] The all new Mitsubishi Golan. Totally

[23:57] new styling. Nicely equipped at 17990.

[24:07] When it comes to your health, never

[24:09] compromise. Even when choosing a

[24:10] laxative, you need one that's strong

[24:12] enough to work overnight, but also

[24:13] gentle. Try doctor recommended Dulax.

[24:16] Its comfort coating even protects your

[24:18] stomach. Get strong, get gentle. Get

[24:20] doctor recommended Dulkax.

[24:22] >> Pain keeping you awake. Now the

[24:24] effervescent power of new Alka-Seltzer

[24:51] Minwax.

[25:08] >> Tonight, he was a healthy young man

[25:10] arrested on a simple marijuana

[25:12] violation. So, how did he end up dead in

[25:14] police custody?

[25:15] >> Goes into the law enforcement center,

[25:17] comes out dead.

[25:19] >> A prime time investigation tonight.

[25:23] Finally tonight, the lasting impact of

[25:25] terror. Many of those wounded when the

[25:27] bomb went off at the US embassy in

[25:29] Nairobi were children. The investigation

[25:31] into the bombings is progressing. There

[25:33] are already plans to rebuild the

[25:35] embassy. But for some of these innocent

[25:37] victims, life will never be the same.

[25:39] ABC's Klay Scott has one boy's story.

[25:43] >> His name is Simon Kingup. He's 10 years

[25:46] old, and he's now able to open his eyes

[25:48] for the first time since the blast.

[25:53] I remember a big noise, he said, but I

[25:55] don't understand why somebody sent the

[25:57] bomb.

[25:58] >> Simon was a passenger on this bus that

[26:00] stopped for a red light right in front

[26:02] of the US embassy. The force of the bomb

[26:05] ripped the bus apart. Simon was blinded

[26:08] by glass that lacerated his face and

[26:10] eyes.

[26:12] >> People were screaming, he said. I felt

[26:14] the glass break and fall all over me.

[26:16] The chances of regaining full vision

[26:19] will not be good because of the corial

[26:24] scarring that he is eventually going to

[26:26] get in his eyes.

[26:30] >> This week, Simon will probably be well

[26:32] enough to leave the hospital, but his

[26:34] chances for a full recovery are worse

[26:36] because of where he lives. Nairobi's

[26:39] central bus station. Simon is a street

[26:41] kid. One of thousands who roam the city,

[26:44] begging for money, eating from the

[26:46] garbage, huddling together for

[26:48] protection at night. Doctors fear if

[26:50] Simon returns to the street, his eyes

[26:52] will become infected. Simon has more

[26:55] immediate fears.

[26:58] >> When I was on the street, some of the

[26:59] bigger boys would attack me. He said I

[27:01] was afraid.

[27:03] Simon used to live with his grandmother

[27:05] 10 miles outside Nairobi. He says he

[27:08] left because there wasn't enough food.

[27:10] His grandmother says she can't even

[27:12] afford the 80 bus fair to visit Simon in

[27:15] the hospital.

[27:17] >> I don't want to go back to the street.

[27:18] He says, "I want to go to school. I want

[27:21] somebody to buy me books."

[27:23] Hospital administrators say if they

[27:25] can't find a home for Simon, he'll

[27:27] probably have to return to his

[27:29] grandmother's house. And that means he

[27:31] could end up back on the streets. Clay

[27:34] Scott, ABC News, Nairobi.

[27:38] And that is our report on World News

[27:40] Tonight. Later on Prime Time Live, the

[27:42] controversial claim that food

[27:43] supplements can relieve the pain of

[27:45] arthritis. And on Night Line, a look at

[27:49] president last January and how things
