[0:06] Tonight, state of war. Israel tries to
[0:09] kill Hezbollah's leader. Hezbollah
[0:11] unleashes new attacks. Tonight, the
[0:13] civilians on both sides.
[0:17] And is there a way out? We'll talk to a
[0:19] veteran negotiator who ought to know.
[0:23] Fire emergency. Two California wildfires
[0:25] merging into one giant firestorm. And
[0:28] now a heatwave is on the way.
[0:32] The $14 billion fiasco, the costliest
[0:36] highway project in US history. It's five
[0:38] times over budget and now it's downright
[0:41] dangerous and it's your money.
[0:45] And goaloriented. She's using soccer to
[0:48] empower girls and transform a society
[0:51] devastated by war. Our person of the
[0:54] week
[0:58] >> from ABC News. This is World News
[1:02] Tonight with Charles Gibson. Reporting
[1:06] tonight, Terry Moran.
[1:08] >> Good evening. Tonight, the entire Middle
[1:10] East seems perched on the razor's edge.
[1:13] Israel tried to kill the leader of the
[1:14] Islamic militant group Hezbollah today.
[1:17] He survived and promised open war in
[1:20] return. Israeli air strikes extended
[1:22] deep into populated areas of Lebanon,
[1:25] targeting Hezbollah's radio station and
[1:27] demolishing vital Lebanese air and road
[1:30] links. Hezbollah responded, raining more
[1:32] than a 100 rockets on northern Israel,
[1:35] and it struck an Israeli warship with an
[1:37] unmanned drone believed to have been
[1:40] made in Iran. The United Nations
[1:42] Security Council met in emergency
[1:44] session, but it is difficult tonight to
[1:46] see a way out of this. We begin with
[1:49] ABC's David Wright in Beirut
[1:54] >> tonight. Israeli gunships scored a
[1:56] direct hit, flattening the headquarters
[1:58] of the Hezbollah leader. But moments
[2:01] later, Hassan Nasalla was heard on the
[2:04] air, defiant.
[2:06] >> You want war? He asked. I'll give you an
[2:09] open war. He told his followers to look
[2:11] to the sea where he said the Israeli
[2:14] vessel that struck his house would be
[2:16] sunk. Sure enough, an unmanned drone
[2:19] packed with explosives slammed into an
[2:21] Israeli warship, causing severe damage.
[2:24] There are reports tonight that four
[2:25] sailors are missing.
[2:28] >> Dramatic developments on a day when
[2:30] Lebanon took heavy fire on a number of
[2:32] fronts. Among the targets, fuel pumps at
[2:35] a power station that burned all day long
[2:38] and caused blackouts in much of the
[2:40] capital. The airport hit yet again
[2:44] as well as major bridges and roads. The
[2:47] Israeli prime minister issued a curt
[2:49] list of demands for Hezbollah.
[2:53] Stop the rocket attack as BA lobed more
[2:55] than 200 today. Return Israel's two
[2:58] captured soldiers and disarm once and
[3:01] for all. Until then, no ceasefire.
[3:07] >> It's unlikely Hezbollah will accept
[3:09] those demands. Today, after prayers,
[3:11] these men destroyed two Israeli soldiers
[3:13] in Effigy.
[3:16] This part of town has faced the heaviest
[3:18] bombardment. A predominantly Shia
[3:20] neighborhood considered a Hezbollah
[3:22] stronghold, but it's densely populated.
[3:24] 800,000 people live here. A lot of
[3:27] civilians in harm's way.
[3:29] >> Nadia Dia showed us the ruins of her
[3:31] family bakery just across the street
[3:33] from a Bayroot bridge.
[3:35] >> This is not good to to to today to do
[3:37] all this destruction. who's gonna like
[3:40] compensate compensate us for for what we
[3:42] lost.
[3:43] >> And people here also want to know who
[3:45] will compensate the hotel owners whose
[3:47] rooms and deck chairs full early this
[3:50] week now sit empty.
[3:53] Thousands of tourists fled across the
[3:55] border to Syria while they still could.
[3:57] And just in time, Israel knocked out
[4:00] that road today. That's David Wright in
[4:03] Beirut. And David mentioned there the
[4:04] tourists trying to leave Beirut. The US
[4:06] government estimates that 25,000
[4:09] American citizens are in Lebanon. We're
[4:11] told the Pentagon has a plan, if
[4:13] necessary, to evacuate those Americans.
[4:16] The most likely scenario involves using
[4:18] 2200 US Marines to take them by
[4:21] helicopter to the island of Cyprus. Now,
[4:24] let's turn to the other side of the
[4:26] border, the Israeli side. Asba's rocket
[4:29] attacks have forced some 220,000
[4:32] residents of northern Israel into bomb
[4:34] shelters. How long they'll have to
[4:35] remain there is unclear. A lot will
[4:38] depend on how the Israeli government
[4:40] responds to this crisis. ABC's Dan
[4:42] Harris is in one of the border towns now
[4:44] under attack.
[4:49] Today, in cities and towns all along
[4:51] Israel's northern border,
[4:55] there were menacing skies courtesy of
[4:58] Hezbollah. Here comes one.
[5:03] Police were ordering people into
[5:04] neighborhood shelters and many,
[5:06] especially those with children, obeyed.
[5:09] Raeli Asiag brought her 2-year-old
[5:11] daughter.
[5:12] >> Did she tell you that she's scared?
[5:14] >> Yeah, she tell mommy is scared. Yeah.
[5:17] And I hug her.
[5:18] >> We found another shelter designed
[5:20] especially for children whose parents
[5:22] have to work during this crisis.
[5:25] Up there we have war
[5:28] and down here we can be with each other
[5:31] and have fun.
[5:34] >> Nearby the Israeli response.
[5:38] >> The Israelis do not let the attacks go
[5:40] unanswered. They have tanks all along
[5:42] the Lebanese border pounding Hezbollah
[5:45] positions. The stated goals of Israel's
[5:48] ground, sea, and air campaign are to get
[5:50] back the two soldiers Hezbollah
[5:52] kidnapped on Wednesday and to quote
[5:55] knock out Hezbollah.
[5:56] >> They've been building very seriously a
[5:59] very a strong terrorist infrastructure,
[6:02] a state within a state. And of course,
[6:05] everyone can see the consequences of
[6:06] that at the moment.
[6:09] >> But the two-day bombardment of Lebanon
[6:11] has yet to get back the soldiers or
[6:13] dismantle Hezbollah.
[6:16] So, what's next? One option is a ground
[6:18] campaign against Hezbollah, which
[6:20] Israeli military officials today
[6:22] acknowledged would be long and hard.
[6:24] >> There's an old saying about Lebanon, you
[6:26] know how you go in, you don't know how
[6:28] you're going to leave.
[6:29] >> Tonight, as Raeli Aiag sat down with her
[6:32] family for dinner with the power out and
[6:34] the explosions continuing, she said she
[6:37] had faith in the military. It's not nice
[6:40] and it's not convenient to be in this
[6:43] situation, but uh we live with this.
[6:46] >> They live with it and they hope it ends
[6:49] soon.
[6:52] However, with Hezbollah now using an
[6:55] unmanned drone to attack an Israeli
[6:58] warship and using powerful missiles to
[7:00] strike deeper into Israel than ever
[7:01] before, it appears they are upping the
[7:03] ante. And it appears this situation is
[7:06] heading toward escalation rather than
[7:08] winding down. Terry,
[7:09] >> it certainly does. Dan Dan Harris on the
[7:12] Israeli side of the border. And as you
[7:13] saw in Dan's piece, caught in the
[7:15] crossfire in both Israel and Lebanon.
[7:18] civilians as they are in every war.
[7:20] Think for a moment now of the Lebanese
[7:23] capital, Beirut, which for many years
[7:24] was a symbol of war and devastation.
[7:27] Now, this was a typical view of the city
[7:30] in the late 1970s and 1980s. But over
[7:32] the last decade, Beirut has enjoyed a
[7:34] remarkable renaissance, allowing it to
[7:37] approach its former glory as an urban
[7:39] oasis. It used to be called the Paris of
[7:42] the Middle East. Today, we spoke to some
[7:44] people who have so much to lose.
[7:49] I can tell you what's going on now is
[7:51] very bad for me and for all the people
[7:54] in Lebanon. We don't deserve it again.
[7:56] We were so proud of our air and now it's
[8:00] all destroyed. All the bridges,
[8:02] everything is destroyed. This is what
[8:04] I'm angry about. They are hitting
[8:07] everything everywhere. I really don't
[8:09] think we have a future now. I I don't
[8:12] know. We We had a chance. just got a
[8:16] daughter three weeks ago and it's really
[8:19] not an easy thing um trying to sort out
[8:23] the future.
[8:25] There's so much going on in our lives in
[8:27] this city. We've got our home here, our
[8:30] business, our life is all here. Uh we've
[8:34] lived this we've lived this so intensely
[8:37] to a limit that we thought this would
[8:39] never going to ever happen to us again.
[8:41] And here it is happening.
[8:44] I'm living in a total confusion. We
[8:46] don't know whether it's stay to go. It's
[8:49] different this time because I'm not
[8:50] alone. I've got a family. It's serious
[8:54] and it's devastating and it's uh really
[8:58] depressive.
[9:00] >> Voices from Beirut. Now, let's turn to
[9:03] President Bush and the search for a way
[9:05] out of this crisis. Today, the president
[9:06] arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia for
[9:09] the G8 summit. On route, Mr. Bush called
[9:11] Lebanon's prime minister and said he's
[9:14] urging Israel to spare civilians and
[9:16] Lebanon's infrastructure. But the White
[9:18] House is also clearly supporting
[9:19] Israel's right to defend itself. And
[9:21] that has put Mr. Bush at odds with some
[9:24] of his allies. Criticism of Israel came
[9:26] from France and from Russian President
[9:28] Vladimir Putin who said, quote, "No
[9:30] hostage takings are acceptable, but
[9:32] neither is the use of fullscale force."
[9:35] So let's turn to the diplomacy. We
[9:38] wanted to talk to somebody today who is
[9:40] intimately familiar with the Middle East
[9:42] and who knows something about resolving
[9:44] conflicts that seem beyond diplomacy.
[9:46] George Mitchell served as majority
[9:48] leader of the US Senate. He knows many
[9:50] of the players in the Middle East from
[9:51] his time as a US negotiator there. And
[9:54] of course, he brokered the peace deal in
[9:56] Northern Ireland.
[9:57] >> There being no further business.
[9:59] >> Senator Mitchell, a lot of people
[10:00] looking at this situation sense that
[10:03] there may be no way out here. You've
[10:05] been in a lot of intractable situations
[10:07] in this region as well. What approach
[10:10] would you take here?
[10:11] >> There is no such thing as a conflict
[10:13] that can't be resolved. They're created
[10:15] by human beings. They can be ended by
[10:17] human beings. Israel, the United
[10:20] Kingdom, the United States, and many
[10:21] other governments have always said in
[10:23] these situations that they will not
[10:25] negotiate and then ultimately of course
[10:27] they have negotiated resulting
[10:29] ordinarily in prisoner swaps. That is
[10:32] the most likely outcome here. How do you
[10:34] answer people who say that's rewarding
[10:36] terrorists and encouraging them to act
[10:38] with impunity to strike Israel again and
[10:40] again and again?
[10:42] >> Of course, that's true and that has been
[10:44] said every time there's been a previous
[10:46] prisoner swap, but there isn't any other
[10:48] resolution in my judgment that's
[10:50] possible to bring this to a conclusion.
[10:53] The key is to then move to the core
[10:56] issue. Until the Israeli Palestinian
[10:58] conflict is resolved, there will not be
[11:01] stability in the region.
[11:02] administration's getting a lot of
[11:03] recommendations. One of them is that
[11:04] they should send an envoy. They should
[11:06] send a George Mitchell to the region to
[11:09] start talking to people trying to talk
[11:11] this crisis down. Is that a good idea?
[11:13] >> Yes, I do think it is a good idea. One
[11:16] of the problems so far has been that the
[11:18] administration's involvement has been
[11:20] periodic
[11:22] from time to time. One person goes,
[11:24] stays a couple of weeks, a bomb goes
[11:26] off, he or she comes back. Few months
[11:28] later, someone else goes, a bomb goes
[11:30] off, he or she comes back. I think what
[11:32] has to happen is the president has to
[11:34] appoint someone with his complete trust,
[11:37] with a high level of authority, and both
[11:39] the president and his envoy must say
[11:41] clearly and meaningfully, "We're here to
[11:45] stay. We're going to get this job done.
[11:47] We're going to act with patience and
[11:49] perseverance, but most importantly,
[11:51] we're not leaving until this is
[11:53] resolved."
[11:54] >> Former Senator George Mitchell urging
[11:56] deeper US engagement there. Well, the
[11:58] deepening crisis in the Middle East is
[12:00] having a significant economic impact in
[12:02] this country. The price of oil set
[12:05] another high, closing above $77 a barrel
[12:08] for the first time. And stocks sold off
[12:10] sharply again. The Dow Jones Industrials
[12:12] dropped 107 points, the third straight
[12:15] day of tripledigit losses there. The
[12:18] Nasdaq fell 17 points. Well, for the
[12:21] latest developments in the Middle East,
[12:22] it's a fast-pacing story. You can go to
[12:24] our website. We've got reports and
[12:26] analyses from our correspondents across
[12:28] the region. That's at abcnews.com. And
[12:31] ABC's Charles Gibson will be in the
[12:33] region beginning on Monday. We'll take a
[12:36] break now. And still ahead, double
[12:38] danger. Two raging California wildfires
[12:42] merge to form one huge blaze. A large
[12:45] section of a national forest is now at
[12:47] risk. The most expensive highway project
[12:50] in American history. Way over budget.
[12:53] And now it's a dangerous mess to
[12:55] billions of dollars of your money. And
[12:58] more than just a game, the woman using
[13:01] soccer to change young girls lives. Our
[13:04] person of the week.
[13:22] Okay, let's eat.
[13:23] >> When you've got the taste of the
[13:24] original ranch, things seem a little
[13:27] more like the way they're supposed to
[13:28] be. Hidden Valley Ranch, the way ranch
[13:32] is supposed to taste. And new Italian
[13:35] Ranch. Ranch with an Italian accent. To
[13:39] increase skin's radiance, dermatologists
[13:41] recognize Aino positively radiant
[13:42] moisturizers. The soy complex is
[13:44] clinically proven to improve the key
[13:46] elements of radiance, including fine
[13:48] lines, sunspots, and blotchiness.
[13:50] >> Can your moisturizer do that?
[13:51] >> A veno positively radiant.
[13:56] If you've had a heart attack that
[13:58] reduced how well your heart pumps, hear
[14:00] this. Your heart medications may not be
[14:04] enough protection.
[14:05] Core Egg is FDA approved to increase
[14:08] your chance of survival when taken over
[14:10] time. Adding Core Egg to your current
[14:13] treatment can help prevent another heart
[14:15] attack. Core Egg reduces your heart's
[14:17] workload to help it pump better. That
[14:21] should be music to your ears. Core Egg
[14:24] is not for everyone, including people
[14:26] prone to asthma, certain heart rhythm
[14:28] problems, slow heart rate, or liver
[14:29] problems. Once you start Core Egg, you
[14:31] should continue as directed by your
[14:33] doctor. Patients who abruptly stop may
[14:35] experience chest pain or an increased
[14:37] risk of heart attack. In some cases,
[14:39] patients may experience dizziness or
[14:40] faintness when starting Core Egg. You
[14:42] should avoid driving or hazardous tasks
[14:44] if this occurs.
[14:45] >> Ask your doctor if Core Egg is right for
[14:48] you. Adding Core Egg adds cardio
[14:51] protection.
[14:53] >> Some things men don't want to talk
[14:55] about,
[14:55] >> like prostate problems, but I learned
[14:57] one in three men will have them. So, I
[14:59] switched to one a day men's. A complete
[15:00] multivitamin plus lycopine which Harvard
[15:03] studies suggest may help prostate
[15:04] health.
[15:05] >> Some things are healthy to talk about.
[15:06] >> One a day men's.
[15:10] >> Hot dry conditions across the country
[15:12] have spawned a fury of wildfires. The
[15:14] most dramatic is consuming a swath of
[15:16] the southern California desert where
[15:18] today two huge stubborn blazes became
[15:21] one. ABC's Miguel Marquez is in Morango
[15:24] Valley.
[15:26] It is now a massive fire over 60,000
[15:29] acres and it keeps growing toward the
[15:31] tender dry San Bernardino National
[15:33] Forest.
[15:34] >> It's a very steady progression to the
[15:36] west. It just keeps on taking bites and
[15:39] bites and bite after bite.
[15:41] >> Throughout the day, firefighters took
[15:43] advantage of the first favorable wind
[15:45] conditions since the fire started on
[15:47] Sunday. An allout aerosol was launched
[15:49] in an effort to contain the blaze.
[15:52] Firefighters are using any water source
[15:54] available like this river. The
[15:55] helicopters are filling up one after the
[15:58] other after the other. They're trying to
[16:00] stop the fire where it is in the hills.
[16:04] While helicopters then drop the water,
[16:06] planes painted the hillsides with fire
[16:09] retardant. In this canyon, they are
[16:11] hoping to save homes like that of the
[16:13] Wilsons.
[16:14] >> We're trying to remain as relaxed as we
[16:16] can, just knowing that if we have to go,
[16:18] we have to go. The Wilsons, their cars
[16:21] packed, have already decided what stays
[16:24] and what goes.
[16:25] >> In this car, we've got our artwork and
[16:26] our um you know, we've got some original
[16:29] paintings.
[16:30] >> While officials believe they have the
[16:32] upper hand on the fire, today it is
[16:34] burning near the area where over the
[16:36] last 6 years drought and these little
[16:38] bugs, the bark beetle, have infested
[16:40] millions of trees, slowly killed them,
[16:42] and turned most of the forest into
[16:44] kindling.
[16:47] And there is more trouble on the
[16:49] horizon. Temperatures this weekend are
[16:51] expected in the triple digits, making a
[16:53] bone dry forest even drier. Miguel
[16:56] Marquez, ABC News, Morango Valley,
[16:58] California.
[17:00] >> It's going to be a very tough fire
[17:01] season. When we come back, the most
[17:04] expensive highway project in American
[17:06] history. Now it's a danger to drivers
[17:09] and it's your money.
[17:13] >> Dr. Robert Jarvik, inventor of the
[17:16] artificial heart.
[17:17] >> The average heart beats two billion
[17:19] times.
[17:21] The heart is amazing, but high
[17:22] cholesterol can lead to heart disease.
[17:25] Lipur can help. When diet and exercise
[17:27] aren't enough, adding Lipur
[17:29] significantly lowers bad cholesterol, 39
[17:32] to 60%. If you have several common risk
[17:34] factors for heart disease, Lipur is
[17:37] clinically proven to reduce your risk of
[17:39] heart attack. And more cardiologists
[17:41] surveyed said they'd prescribed Lipur
[17:43] for their own families than any other
[17:44] cholesterol-lowering brand. Livore is
[17:47] not for everyone, including people with
[17:49] liver problems and women who are
[17:50] nursing, pregnant, or may become
[17:52] pregnant. You need simple blood tests to
[17:54] check for liver problems. Tell your
[17:56] doctor if you are taking other
[17:57] medications or if you have any muscle
[17:59] pain or weakness. They may be a sign of
[18:00] a rare but serious side effect. Lipur is
[18:03] one of many treatment options to
[18:05] consider with your doctor. It's your
[18:06] heart. Ask if Lipur is right for you.

[18:13] >> Excuse me, Dr. Z. A quick question. What
[18:15] have been the benefits of the merger
[18:17] between Daimler Benz and Chrysler?
[18:19] >> Okay, get in.
[18:22] >> Clearly, we've successfully combined the
[18:24] best in American and German engineering
[18:26] and design.
[18:26] >> Uh, you might want to slow down just a
[18:28] tad.
[18:30] >> For example, the Dodge Charger
[18:31] suspension originated in Germany. Since
[18:34] inventing the 4x4 SUV, we've improved
[18:36] Jeep fuel economy and we are building a
[18:38] flex fuel commander and Grand Cherokee.
[18:40] Plus the world's cleanest diesel, not to
[18:42] mention 32 highway miles per gallon with
[18:45] state-of-the-art four-cylinder
[18:46] technology. The result, better quality,
[18:50] performance, capability, and vehicles
[18:52] like this Chrysler Pacifica with the
[18:54] most safety and security features in its
[18:56] class.
[18:56] >> Are you really a doctor?
[19:01] >> Any more questions?
[19:02] >> No.
[19:03] I'm good.

[19:22] chewable because nothing's faster.

[19:45] In Boston today, serious new problems
[19:47] piled up for the big dig. That's the
[19:49] most expensive highway project this
[19:50] country's ever seen. After a woman was
[19:52] killed by falling panels in a vital
[19:55] downtown tunnel, the angry demands for
[19:57] answers are growing louder. ABC's John
[19:59] Cochran reports. This whole mess is
[20:01] being paid for with your money.
[20:04] Closing down key parts of the Big Dig
[20:07] tunnels has caused huge traffic jams.
[20:09] The Big Dig has long been the butt of
[20:11] jokes about incompetence and cost
[20:13] overruns. They're not funny anymore. Not
[20:16] after the death on Monday of a woman who
[20:18] was crushed when 15 tons of concrete
[20:21] fell from a tunnel ceiling onto her car.
[20:24] Since then, at what is now a crime
[20:25] scene, investigators have found 362
[20:29] more potential defects.
[20:31] >> You know, the history of this project is
[20:33] one that just makes makes you shake your
[20:34] head.
[20:35] >> After years of frustration, the people
[20:37] of Boston thought nothing could surprise
[20:39] them anymore about the big dig. 1991,
[20:43] work begins. 1998, cost estimates jump
[20:47] from $2.6 billion to 10.8 billion. 2004
[20:52] leaks flood one of the tunnels causing
[20:55] massive traffic jams. 2005 investigators
[20:59] find 169 defective areas. May 2006, six
[21:05] men are charged with trying to hide the
[21:07] inferior quality of some concrete.
[21:09] Despite all that, the death of
[21:11] 38-year-old Melena Delvier shocked even
[21:14] those who were fed up long ago.
[21:16] >> It's scary. You know, you know, you
[21:18] never know what you're going to get
[21:19] into. things falling on your head.
[21:21] There's no excuse for it.
[21:22] >> People who belong in jail because of
[21:24] this.
[21:24] >> Who is to blame? Federal and state
[21:26] investigators are now trying to figure
[21:28] that out. Tonight, after 15 years and
[21:31] 14.6 billion, much of the Big Dig is
[21:34] closed, and no one knows when it will be
[21:37] safe to open again. John Cochran, ABC
[21:39] News, Boston.
[21:41] One more note, the Big Dig is on track
[21:43] to cost $2 billion a mile. When we come
[21:47] back, Fields of Dreams, one woman using
[21:50] soccer to empower girls in a troubled
[21:53] land. Our person of the week,

[22:36] their eyes from sun damage like they
[22:38] protect their skin.
[22:42] Transitions lenses. They automatically
[22:44] adjust to changing light and block
[22:46] harmful UV rays and glare.
[22:52] So don't wait until tomorrow. The danger
[22:54] is here today and so is the protection.
[22:57] Ask your eye care professional about
[22:58] transitions.
[23:00] Transitions lenses are approved by the
[23:02] American Optometric Association.
[23:05] >> Cholesterol. It can come from fetuccini
[23:07] alfredo, but also from your grandpa
[23:10] Alfredo, from barbecue ribs and from
[23:14] your aunt Barbie. A healthy diet is
[23:16] important. When that's not enough,
[23:18] adding Vtorin can help. Cholesterol
[23:20] comes from two sources: food and family.
[23:23] Vtorin treats two sources. Only Vtorin
[23:26] helps block the absorption of
[23:27] cholesterol from food and reduces the
[23:30] cholesterol your body makes naturally
[23:31] based on family history. Btorin was also
[23:34] proven in clinical studies to lower bad
[23:36] cholesterol more than Lipiore alone.
[23:38] Btorine is not for everyone, including
[23:40] people with liver problems, women who
[23:42] are nursing, pregnant, or may become
[23:43] pregnant. Unexplained muscle pain or
[23:45] weakness could be a sign of a rare but
[23:46] serious side effect. Btorin may interact
[23:48] with other medicines or certain foods,
[23:50] increasing your risk of getting this
[23:52] serious side effect. Simple blood tests
[23:53] are needed to check for liver problems.
[23:55] So, eat right, stay active, but if
[23:57] that's not enough, ask your doctor about
[23:59] adding Vtorin, two sources of
[24:01] cholesterol. Treat them both with
[24:03] Vtorin.

[24:47] this weekend on ABC.
[24:54] And finally tonight, our person of the
[24:56] week. This week, a woman was honored for
[24:58] an extraordinary gift she's given some
[25:00] very deserving young girls. It's fitting
[25:02] the honor was given after a month during
[25:04] which the world was transfixed by the
[25:06] World Cup of soccer because this woman's
[25:08] inspiration in many ways was the game of
[25:12] soccer and a belief that it can change
[25:14] lives. Athletics was um a very positive
[25:18] experience throughout my entire life
[25:19] that really helped me to become the
[25:22] adult that I am today and um to have the
[25:24] confidence and perseverance and high
[25:26] self-esteem that has allowed me to
[25:29] overcome a lot of obstacles throughout
[25:30] my entire life. I knew that children in
[25:32] Afghanistan needed um a same vehicle to
[25:35] be able to overcome their own obstacles
[25:37] after 30 years of war.
[25:38] >> Aista Aub has made it her life's work to
[25:41] provide that vehicle through soccer. She
[25:44] has brought the universal sport to
[25:46] Afghan girls who just 5 years ago
[25:49] couldn't even go to school.
[25:50] >> To be able to equip girls with just the
[25:52] ball and to have them go back as
[25:54] ambassadors for athletics is uh is the
[25:57] key to being able to create positive
[25:59] social change.
[26:00] >> The 9/11 attacks and the fall of the
[26:02] brutal Taliban regime changed her life
[26:05] here in America. She wanted to do
[26:06] something for the homeland she left 20
[26:09] years earlier. So she founded the Afghan
[26:11] Youth Sports Exchange. her first event.
[26:14] She brought eight Afghan girls to the US
[26:16] to learn to play soccer.
[26:18] >> Two years ago, when I was recruiting for
[26:20] the girls, there were absolutely no
[26:22] girls soccer teams to recruit from. And
[26:23] so, we were recruiting girls based on
[26:25] their leadership potential.
[26:26] >> Aista was born in Kabell but escaped
[26:28] with her family after Afghanistan was
[26:30] invaded by the Soviet Union in 1979. In
[26:33] April of this year, she combined two
[26:36] dreams to return to her homeland
[26:39] >> and to teach Afghan girls soccer in
[26:41] their own backyards. The 250 girls who
[26:44] came to the clinic not only learned how
[26:46] to pass and dribble, they learned to be
[26:48] leaders.
[26:49] >> The seos wearing just a baseball cap or
[26:52] nothing at all is just really reassuring
[26:54] and how the situation in Afghanistan is
[26:56] changing on a daily basis. The small
[26:58] revolution started with a soccer ball
[27:00] was recognized this week at ESPN's
[27:03] awards show the SPS.
[27:06] >> Two of the girls who went to Aista's
[27:08] first clinic are now on the Afghan
[27:10] national team. They received the Arthur
[27:12] Ash Courage Award.
[27:14] >> I don't think there was a dry eye in the
[27:17] auditorium when the girls received the
[27:18] award.
[27:19] >> I'm very happy that I can encourage um
[27:22] the woman of Afghanistan that they start
[27:24] to play football. She's the one to
[27:26] think.
[27:27] >> But Aista Aub knows that it will take
[27:29] more than girls soccer to make her
[27:31] homeland whole again.
[27:32] >> Afghanistan is um at a breaking point
[27:35] where we're on a seessaw that can take
[27:37] the country in either direction. We have
[27:39] to be able to grab the country and move
[27:42] forward um in a way that really helps
[27:44] improve the lives for the children. And
[27:46] if things are to really improve, I feel
[27:49] that it's going to it's going to sit in
[27:51] their hands.
[27:53] And so we choose Aista Aub. She's hoping
[27:55] to return to Afghanistan this fall. And
[27:57] you know, she'll be busy. There are now
[27:59] 15 girls soccer teams in Kabell. So not
[28:02] all the news is grim. And that's World
[28:04] News Tonight for this Friday. I'm Terry

[29:28] >> Power lines are highways for electricity
[29:30] we must maintain to keep a steady flow.
[29:33] And as California's power needs grow,
[29:35] more lines are needed to keep
[29:36] electricity flowing reliably. That's why
[29:39] Edison International has committed $9
[29:41] billion to upgrade the system of wires
[29:43] that serves Southern Californians. It's
[29:45] an investment in reliability that
[29:46] benefits everyone in our state and an
