[0:00] Good evening. I'm Dan Harris and this is
[0:03] World News. As President Bush gets ready
[0:05] for an urgent meeting with the Prime
[0:07] Minister of Iraq, the man hosting the
[0:09] summit, the King of Jordan says the
[0:11] entire region could soon catch fire.
[0:15] The Pope is not wanted here. Those are
[0:17] the words of one of thousands of
[0:19] protesters in Turkey today, days before
[0:21] the Pope arrives on a mission to repair
[0:23] the damage done by a speech that sparked
[0:26] outrage across the Muslim world.
[0:29] Anger and anguish after New York City
[0:31] police officers fire 50 shots and kill a
[0:34] young man on his wedding day. When is
[0:37] deadly force justified?
[0:40] And generation debt. The rising number
[0:43] of 20somes kneede in bills forced to
[0:46] move back in with their parents. Why go
[0:49] back out there and eat ramen noodles
[0:50] every day when I can stay here and have
[0:53] mom cook me steak every night?
[0:57] From ABC News headquarters in New York,
[1:00] this is World News.
[1:03] >> As of today, the US has been at war in
[1:06] Iraq for 3 years, 8 months, and 7 days.
[1:09] This is a military milestone, the exact
[1:11] length of the American involvement in
[1:13] World War II. President Bush leaves
[1:15] tomorrow for a round of global
[1:17] diplomacy, part of an unprecedented
[1:19] White House push to try to stop the
[1:21] savagery in Iraq. Last week was one of
[1:24] the bloodiest yet. One M East leader
[1:26] warned today the future of the entire
[1:28] region hangs in the balance. We begin
[1:30] our coverage tonight with ABC's Jeff
[1:32] Morurell who's at the White House.
[1:35] >> Desperate for help with Iraq, the Bush
[1:37] administration is fanning out across the
[1:40] Middle East. Vice President Cheney
[1:42] called on the Saudis Saturday. This
[1:44] week, Secretary of State Rice meets with
[1:46] the Egyptians and President Bush travels
[1:49] to Jordan.
[1:50] >> The patient is, you know, flatlining.
[1:53] situation is getting worse and
[1:55] everybody's scrambling to do whatever
[1:56] they can to stabilize the situation.
[1:58] >> For his part, President Bush is meeting
[2:00] with Iraqi Prime Minister Noriel Maliki
[2:03] and Jordan's King Abdullah. Today, the
[2:06] king told ABC's George Stephanopoulos,
[2:08] Iraq is part of a regional crisis
[2:11] requiring a regional solution.
[2:13] >> We're juggling with uh the strong
[2:15] potential of three civil wars uh in the
[2:18] region. King Abdullah believes Iraq
[2:20] needs to be addressed in conjunction
[2:22] with the Palestinian Israeli conflict
[2:25] and the turmoil in Lebanon.
[2:28] >> It is time that uh that we really take a
[2:31] strong step forward as part of the
[2:32] international community and make sure we
[2:34] avert the Middle East from a tremendous
[2:36] crisis uh that I fear and I see could
[2:38] possibly happen in 2007. The White House
[2:40] went into Iraq believing toppling Saddam
[2:43] Hussein would cure all the region's
[2:46] ills, but now seems willing to work on a
[2:48] more comprehensive solution. In
[2:50] exchange, it wants Jordan, Egypt, and
[2:53] Saudi Arabia, Iraq's Sunni dominated
[2:55] neighbors, to use their influence with
[2:58] Iraq's Sunni insurgents.
[3:00] >> What we need is a reduction in the
[3:02] violence in order to give politics a
[3:04] chance. And with that, Iran can help
[3:06] with the Shiites and the Sunni
[3:08] governments in the region can help with
[3:09] the insurgency.
[3:11] >> Far from helpful, Iran's Shiite
[3:13] government has been fermenting unrest in
[3:16] Iraq, Lebanon, and the Palestinian
[3:18] territories. The question now, Dan, will
[3:21] the Bush administration try to engage
[3:22] Iran as the Iraq study group is expected
[3:25] to recommend or try to contain them as
[3:28] the Bush administration would prefer?
[3:30] >> And as we know, the Iraqis are not
[3:31] waiting. The president of Iraq heads to
[3:33] Iran tomorrow for talks. Jeff Moral
[3:36] reporting for the White House. Jeff,
[3:37] thank you. In Iraq today, the nation's
[3:39] most powerful politicians led by the
[3:41] Prime Minister Nuriel Maliki went on
[3:43] national television to call for calm and
[3:46] it did not seem to have much effect.
[3:48] ABC's Hillary Brown is in Baghdad for us
[3:50] tonight.
[3:52] Dan, in an act of desperation, Iraq's
[3:55] Prime Minister Nuriel Maliki pleaded
[3:57] with the country's politicians today to
[4:00] stop the bloodshed since he himself
[4:02] seems unable to do so. This afternoon,
[4:05] he visited Satder City, the scene of
[4:08] Thursday's carbomb massacre by Sunni
[4:10] insurgents to express condolences to the
[4:13] relatives of some of the 230 victims. As
[4:16] he drove away, his motorcade was stoned.
[4:19] Sadder City, a Shia stronghold, is where
[4:22] he's supposed to draw his support.
[4:24] Earlier, Maliki went on national
[4:26] television along with Kurdish and Sunni
[4:28] leaders, promising to track down those
[4:30] responsible for the outrage. The three
[4:33] called for an end to the sectarian
[4:35] conflict, which some say has descended
[4:37] to a low-level civil war. Malakei has
[4:40] been under pressure from the US to crack
[4:42] down on the militias. They have
[4:44] infiltrated the police and to a lesser
[4:46] extent the army. More and more people
[4:49] now look to the militias for protection.
[4:52] This will doubtless come up in his
[4:54] meeting with President Bush in Jordan on
[4:56] Wednesday, where the stakes have become
[4:58] very high. And like an evil omen, black
[5:02] smoke billowed over eastern Baghdad
[5:04] today after a mortar strike on a US
[5:07] forward base in spite of a 24-hour 3-day
[5:10] curfew that was meant to stop such acts
[5:13] of violence. Dan
[5:15] >> Hillary Brown in Baghdad. Hillary, thank
[5:17] you. And turning now to the hostile
[5:19] reception awaiting Pope Benedict, who's
[5:21] about to make his first visit to a
[5:23] largely Muslim country. Protests in
[5:25] Turkey have been growing in size and
[5:27] ferocity by the day, and the Pope
[5:29] doesn't even get there until Tuesday.
[5:31] His mission is to try to mend fences
[5:33] after making a speech two months ago
[5:35] that linked Islam and violence. ABC's
[5:38] David Wright is in Istanbul tonight.
[5:40] David,
[5:42] >> good evening. Dan, this is not only the
[5:44] Pope's first trip to a Muslim country,
[5:46] but it's his first trip abroad since the
[5:48] furer erupted over his controversial
[5:50] remarks about Islam and violence. And
[5:53] today, an estimated 25,000 people took
[5:56] to the streets to say the Pope is not
[5:58] welcome here. Benedict has been on the
[6:00] defensive ever since a speech he gave
[6:02] September 12th at Reagansburg
[6:04] University, his alma mater in Germany.
[6:07] In it, he suggested that Islam is
[6:09] inherently violent. He quoted a medieval
[6:12] theologian who said that among other
[6:14] things, the prophet Muhammad spread his
[6:16] faith at the point of a sword. And
[6:18] Benedict has since distanced himself
[6:20] from the quote, but not from the
[6:22] sentiment. Today, Benedict was upbeat
[6:24] about his upcoming trip, telling the
[6:26] crowd at St. Peter's Square that he was
[6:29] expressing his esteem and sincere
[6:30] friendship for the Turkish people. But
[6:33] that context combined with the larger
[6:36] conflict taking place between the
[6:37] Islamic and the Christian worlds makes
[6:40] this a hugely important trip.
[6:44] >> If the great challenge for John Paul II
[6:47] was handling the world of communism, the
[6:50] world of godless communism, as a man of
[6:52] faith, as a great Christian preacher,
[6:55] then the great challenge for Pope
[6:57] Benedict is clearly dealing with the
[6:59] world of Islam.
[7:03] And that challenge begins really with
[7:05] this trip. A test of his skills not just
[7:07] as a moral authority but also as a
[7:09] diplomat. Security has been stepped up
[7:11] here in Istanbul and in Anchora where
[7:13] the Pope will be visiting. He begins his
[7:15] trip on Tuesday. Dan
[7:16] >> and he has added a visit to a mosque as
[7:18] part of that trip. David Wright
[7:20] reporting tonight from Istanbul. Thank
[7:21] you, David. And back in this country, a
[7:23] police shooting this weekend in New York
[7:25] City is provoking outrage and prompting
[7:28] real questions about when deadly force
[7:30] is justified. Officers fired 50 shots at
[7:33] three men who turned out to be unarmed.
[7:35] One of them died just hours before he
[7:38] was supposed to marry the mother of his
[7:39] two children. Here's ABC's Ron
[7:42] Claybornne. Several hundred people
[7:44] turned out to protest the police
[7:45] shootings outside the hospital where two
[7:47] of the wounded men are being treated.
[7:49] One of them is in critical condition
[7:51] with 11 bullet wounds.
[7:52] >> I'm a little confused about what
[7:54] happened. I don't understand it. I'm
[7:55] lost for words. I don't think it was
[7:57] right. I don't find it fair.
[8:00] >> The third man, 23-year-old Shawn Bell,
[8:03] who was to have been married Saturday
[8:04] afternoon, was killed in his car in the
[8:06] barrage of 50 shots fired by police.
[8:09] >> And then when you talk about 50 shots, I
[8:12] mean, at what point do police understand
[8:14] no one's shooting back at you? For some,
[8:16] this is reminiscent of the 1999 police
[8:19] shooting of Aadu Dio, a young black man
[8:21] shot 41 times by police officers who
[8:24] said they thought he had a weapon. He
[8:26] didn't. The police commissioner says
[8:28] it's too early to tell whether these
[8:29] shootings were justified. But officers
[8:32] on the scene who did not fire their
[8:33] weapon say one of their undercover
[8:35] colleagues overheard the men saying they
[8:37] had a gun in their car. As the
[8:40] undercover officer approached the front
[8:42] of the car, the car moved forward,
[8:45] striking the undercover. It then
[8:47] continued and plowed into the front of
[8:49] the police minivan that had just turned
[8:52] south onto Liverpool Street.
[8:55] >> Then the officers began firing.
[8:59] >> Former NYPD officer Eugene Odano says
[9:01] investigators will ask several key
[9:04] questions.
[9:05] >> Could the officers have gotten out of
[9:06] the way? Did they fire at that point
[9:08] because of the of the vehicle, the car
[9:10] being directed at them, or did they feel
[9:12] that somebody in the car was actually
[9:13] had a gun?
[9:14] >> What New York police cannot do is fire
[9:16] at a moving vehicle unless someone in
[9:18] the vehicle is firing at them because of
[9:20] the danger to bystanders. That's the
[9:22] policy of most big city police
[9:24] departments, including Los Angeles. The
[9:26] LA Police Commission imposed the ban
[9:28] last year after police shot to death a
[9:30] 13-year-old boy who was backing a car
[9:32] toward them following a chase. The five
[9:35] police officers who fired their weapons,
[9:37] have been placed on administrative
[9:38] leave, no weapon was ever found at the
[9:40] scene. Ron Claybourne, ABC News, New
[9:43] York.
[9:45] >> Actor Michael Richards, best known as
[9:46] Seinfeld's sidekick, Kramer, went on the
[9:49] Reverend Jesse Jackson's radio show
[9:51] today to defend himself. He's been
[9:53] apologizing almost non-stop since
[9:55] responding to hecklers at a Los Angeles
[9:57] comedy club last week with a rant laced
[9:59] with obscenities and racial epithets. On
[10:02] Jackson's radio show today, Richard said
[10:04] he's not a racist and he'd never used
[10:06] that sort of language before.
[10:10] >> That's why I'm shattered by it. The way
[10:11] this came through me was like a freight
[10:14] train. And uh after it was over, when I
[10:17] went to look for them, they had gone and
[10:21] I've
[10:24] tried to meet them to talk to them to
[10:27] get to some healing. His publicist says
[10:30] Richards has started going to counseling
[10:31] to learn how to manage his anger. And
[10:34] coming up here on World News this
[10:35] Sunday, passengers kicked off of planes
[10:37] for breastfeeding or cuddling. Post 911,
[10:40] flight attendants are more vigilant and
[10:43] more powerful than ever. But are they
[10:45] sometimes going too far? A growing
[10:48] number of 20somes moving back in with

[11:17] Putting breaking news into the hands of
[11:18] a million readers a day, Carl is a
[11:20] formidable man, but he was no match for
[11:23] something smaller than a drop of ink. It
[11:25] KOed Carl so fast he didn't know what
[11:27] hit him. It was a clot. Like Carl, if
[11:30] you've been hospitalized with heart
[11:31] related chest pain or a certain type of
[11:33] heart attack, what doctors call ACS,
[11:35] chances are you've had a clot. But now
[11:37] Carl's doctor is helping increase Carl's
[11:39] protection against heart attack or
[11:41] stroke by putting Carl on Plavix. Plavix
[11:43] in combination with aspirin and other
[11:45] heart medicines helps provide greater
[11:47] protection against heart attack or
[11:48] stroke than aspirin and other heart
[11:49] medicines alone by helping keep blood
[11:51] platelets from sticking together and
[11:52] forming clots. If you have a stomach
[11:54] ulcer or other condition that causes
[11:56] bleeding, you shouldn't use Plavix. When
[11:58] taking Plavix alone or with some
[11:59] medicines, including aspirin, the risk
[12:01] of bleeding may increase. To minimize
[12:03] this risk, talk to your doctor before
[12:05] taking aspirin or other medicines with
[12:07] Plavix. Additional rare but serious side
[12:08] effects could occur.
[12:10] >> Ask your doctor about Plavix today.
[12:12] Because no matter how formidable you
[12:13] are, you're no match for a dangerous
[12:15] clot.

[13:48] >> On this busiest travel weekend of the
[13:50] year, we're going to take a look at a
[13:52] tough new trend in the culture of air
[13:54] travel. As if flying wasn't already
[13:56] crowded and stressful enough, almost 5
[13:59] million Americans traveled by air this
[14:00] Thanksgiving. We're going to show you a
[14:02] snapshot here of air traffic across the
[14:04] country tonight. What this picture does
[14:06] not show you is the mood on board all of
[14:08] those planes. ABC's Bob Jameson reports
[14:10] now on new questions about how flight
[14:13] attendants are wielding their power.
[14:16] >> Emily Gillette was breastfeeding her
[14:18] young daughter before takeoff when a
[14:20] flight attendant ordered her off the
[14:22] plane for refusing to cooperate.
[14:24] >> She walks up with a blanket in her hand
[14:27] and
[14:28] said, "You need to cover up." And I
[14:30] said, "No, thank you. I'm fine." And she
[14:33] said, and I quote, "You are offending
[14:35] me." On a recent Southwest flight, a
[14:38] couple whose snuggling may have gone too
[14:39] far was arrested for violating the
[14:42] Patriot Act.
[14:43] >> This is the sort of thing that looks to
[14:45] me very much like a misuse of the
[14:47] authority.
[14:48] >> The holiday crowds are adding stress
[14:50] this weekend for both passengers and
[14:52] airline employees. Since 9/11, there is
[14:55] little tolerance for things once
[14:57] ignored. Flight attendants say they are
[14:59] the ones who must keep order on packed
[15:02] planes. you're in a confined space for a
[15:04] low amount of time and you want to, you
[15:06] know, you want to not only protect
[15:08] yourself, but you want to protect the
[15:09] other people that are around you as
[15:10] well. We can tell the captain that
[15:12] something makes us feel uncomfortable
[15:14] and that's pretty much all we need to
[15:16] kick somebody off the plane.
[15:18] >> Passengers may be getting the message.
[15:20] The number of unruly incidents peaked 2
[15:22] years ago at 304. There have been fewer
[15:25] than 100 this year.
[15:27] >> Please leave our tickets right now. But
[15:29] a recent incident in Minneapolis where
[15:31] six Muslim community leaders were kicked
[15:33] off a US Airways flight, apparently
[15:35] without provocation, means the problem
[15:38] hasn't gone away. Every single airline
[15:40] needs to be training all the cabin crew
[15:42] members in the nuances of the law and
[15:45] exactly how far they should go to the
[15:47] greatest extent that they can. And that
[15:48] kind of training is not being done
[15:50] today.

[17:44] ask your doctor about Lipur. Lipur is
[17:46] not for everyone, including people with
[17:48] liver problems and women who are

[17:51] pregnant. You need simple blood tests to
[17:53] check for liver problems. Tell your
[17:55] doctor if you're taking other
[17:56] medications or if you have any muscle
[17:58] pain or weakness. They may be a sign of
[18:00] a rare but serious side effect. Lipur is

[19:09] beautiful farmhouse in New York's
[19:10] Aderondac Mountains.
[19:12] >> It's a property line is basically the
[19:13] trees,
[19:14] >> but he's not living there because he
[19:16] wants to.
[19:17] >> I really pushed and tried to figure out
[19:19] what other situations I had at my
[19:21] fingertips. Where else could I go? What
[19:23] else could I do?
[19:24] >> Todd is $50,000 in debt, mostly from
[19:28] student loans. After struggling as an
[19:30] actor with credit card companies on his
[19:32] tail, he moved back in.
[19:34] >> Surprise everybody in
[19:35] >> with his mother.
[19:36] >> When we sneeze or snore in the middle of
[19:37] the night, we hear each other. She's
[19:39] right there. She's right next door.
[19:40] >> You share a bathroom with your mother?
[19:42] >> Yeah, there's only one bathroom in the
[19:43] house. We share a tub. We were talking
[19:45] about that earlier. Not at the same
[19:46] time, but we're both
[19:48] >> That's not this kind of story.
[19:51] >> Since 1970, the number of young adults
[19:53] moving back home has increased 50%. At
[19:56] some point, nearly one in five 20somes
[19:59] moves back in with his or her parents.
[20:01] >> Why spend a lot of money on rent as a
[20:05] young 20some when you're still trying to
[20:07] pay off educational debt? You may be
[20:09] trying to just start off on the right
[20:11] foot financially.
[20:12] >> Sometimes there is more to think about
[20:14] than just yourself. 25-year-old casino
[20:17] worker Joe Canabi is also deep in debt,
[20:20] and he has a wife and daughter.
[20:22] >> Give me smoochies. Joe, wife and
[20:24] daughter all moved in with his mother
[20:26] outside St. Louis.
[20:28] >> Maybe other people can view you as a
[20:29] failure because you couldn't, you know,
[20:32] hack it living on your own. But when the
[20:33] bills are so high and you have a family
[20:36] now, sometimes it's the only way to go.
[20:38] >> Moving back home can provide some
[20:40] financial relief. You get free food and
[20:42] laundry, but there are some pretty
[20:44] serious drawbacks. If I meet a girl
[20:47] while I'm out with my friends, the first
[20:50] thing I'm going to say to her isn't, you
[20:51] know, I live at home with my mom. And
[20:53] it's not sexy. And it's not sexy at all.
[20:56] For parents, this can be an unexpected
[20:58] cost just when they thought they were
[21:00] done paying their kids' expenses.
[21:02] >> Come here.
[21:02] >> Todd's mother is actually charging him
[21:04] minimal rent. But the biggest challenge
[21:07] is allowing space.
[21:09] >> I'm always jumping up and sitting down
[21:10] and moving around and doing things. So,
[21:13] um, you know, he had to he was yelling
[21:14] at me cuz I was doing his laundry.
[21:16] >> I think my exact words were, "Mom, I'm a
[21:17] grown man. Let me do my own damn
[21:19] laundry."
[21:20] >> Todd now has a job at a hotel and is
[21:23] starting to dig himself out of debt. He
[21:25] is grateful for the safe haven his
[21:27] mother provided, but wants out as soon
[21:30] as possible.
[21:31] >> If I'm here in a year, I'm I hope that
[21:33] somebody, a friend or brother or even my
[21:36] mom kicks me out. I hope somebody shows
[21:38] up and drags me out of this house.
[21:39] >> John Burman, ABC News. Keen, New York.
[21:42] And I would
[21:43] >> Mom, if you're watching, you can still
[21:44] do my laundry. Moving back home, by the
[21:46] way, can be tricky business for adult
[21:48] children and their parents. You can find
[21:50] ideas to help make it easier, including,
[21:52] get this, a contract that both
[21:54] generations can sign on our website,
[21:56] which is abcnews.com. And by the way,
[21:58] USA Today, our editorial partner in this
[22:01] project, continues the reporting in
[22:02] tomorrow's paper. Also on our website,
[22:05] an update on a story we told you about
[22:07] last Sunday, which has generated an
[22:09] extraordinary response. the Kansas City
[22:11] Secret Santa who has spent years giving
[22:14] away cash to total strangers and is now
[22:17] fighting cancer. So many of you sent
[22:19] emails asking about how you can help

[22:29] Up next, Tobacco Road turning into wine
[22:32] country and bringing in a bumper crop of
[22:35] tourists
[22:38] for everyday shower cleaning at the
[22:40] touch of a button.
[22:43] Scrubby Bubbles automatic shower
[22:45] cleaner. It covers your entire shower
[22:47] every day, which means it works like
[22:50] this. Cleaning mold and mildew stains,
[22:53] soap scum, even curtain scum. Cleans a
[22:56] dirty shower in days. Keeps a clean
[22:58] shower clean from day one, every day.
[23:04] Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower
[23:05] Cleaner made for your shower. SCE
[23:07] Johnson, a family company. I want to
[23:09] treat my osteoporosis. I want to keep my
[23:11] bones healthy. I want to protect myself
[23:13] against fractures, especially at the
[23:15] hip. I can help. Fossamax Plus D treats
[23:18] postmenopausal osteoporosis.
[23:20] >> My doctor prescribed Fossomex Plus D and
[23:22] she said not all treatments are the
[23:24] same. Poly Fossamax Plus D is approved
[23:27] to help prevent fractures of both the
[23:28] hip and spine in women with
[23:30] osteoporosis. Bonva is not. Protecting
[23:33] my hip is important to me. You should
[23:34] not use Fossamax Plus D if you have
[23:36] certain disorders of the esophagus, are
[23:38] not able to stand or sit upright for 30
[23:40] minutes, have severe kidney disease, or
[23:41] low blood calcium. Before use, talk to
[23:44] your doctor if you have stomach or
[23:45] digestive problems, and about any
[23:46] medications you're taking, including
[23:48] vitamins and supplements. It's not for
[23:50] vitamin D deficiency. Stop taking
[23:52] Fossmax Plast and call your doctor right
[23:54] away if you develop new or worsening
[23:55] heartburn, difficult or painful
[23:57] swallowing or chest pain because these
[23:58] may be signs of serious upper digestive
[24:00] problems. I listened. I heard Fossamax
[24:04] Plus D, the only one that protects both
[24:07] your hip and spine.
[24:09] >> I had a lady and her daughter come in
[24:11] kind of panicked. Um she was from out of
[24:13] town visiting her grandchildren. She
[24:14] left her blood pressure medication at
[24:16] home. I said, you know, don't worry, you
[24:18] know, we're going to take care of you.
[24:19] You know, just have a seat. So, we
[24:21] called her pharmacy back home to
[24:22] transfer her prescriptions for her and
[24:24] then we also called her insurance
[24:26] company to make sure that she wouldn't
[24:28] have to pay any extra, you know, and it
[24:29] made us feel good to see her leave the
[24:32] pharmacy and to know that she could
[24:33] enjoy her daughter and her
[24:35] grandchildren. My name is Melvin Smith
[24:37] and I'm a CVS pharmacist.
[24:39] >> I'm Stephanie Asino and this is my
[24:41] story. I come to people's homes and I
[24:43] wrap their Christmas and Hanukkah
[24:44] presents for them. People will call me
[24:46] up, can you come over and it'll be
[24:47] Christmas Eve? And I'm smiling and
[24:49] singing Christmas carols. I want to make
[24:52] their holiday look good. I have um
[24:54] arthritis in my back. I sit for long
[24:56] periods of times hunched over. It's a
[24:58] real strain. No one wants to see a
[25:00] holiday grimace. I take a leave later.
[25:02] I'm just not in pain. And then I go,
[25:03] "Oh, I got to leave. It worked again."
[25:05] The real reward is that at the end of
[25:06] it, I'm still smiling. That's the best
[25:08] part for me.
[25:09] >> Desperate Housewives kicks off the
[25:11] holiday season.
[25:11] >> They just arrested Mike for murder.
[25:13] >> My gosh. like only they can.
[25:15] >> Maybe we should just take a break, you
[25:17] know, date to date other people.
[25:18] >> An all new Desperate Housewives tonight
[25:20] at 98 central, followed by an allnew
[25:22] Boston Legal, only on ABC.
[25:25] >> And finally from us tonight, the new
[25:27] toast of the Tarheel State. For
[25:30] generations, tobacco has been the king
[25:32] of crops in North Carolina. But as fewer
[25:34] and fewer people smoke, more and more
[25:36] North Carolina farmers are growing wine
[25:39] grapes. They're hoping to make Yappa, as
[25:42] they like to call Carolina's Yadkin
[25:43] Valley, as successful as California's
[25:46] Napa Valley. ABC's Sonia Crawford has
[25:49] this report from the American landscape.
[25:53] They're
[25:53] >> nice and thick.
[25:55] >> Frank Hobson's family has farmed tobacco
[25:57] for as long as he can remember.
[26:00] >> Longing my arm right there. The leafy
[26:02] plants thrive in North Carolina's rich
[26:05] clay and used to provide a reliable
[26:08] payday at harvest. But the war on
[26:12] smoking, lawsuits, new laws, and higher
[26:15] taxes have left farmers like Frank
[26:17] searching for alternatives.
[26:20] 6 years ago, he decided on grapes.
[26:23] >> Tobacco uses is going away more and more
[26:25] and more. People smoking less
[26:27] >> and drinking more
[26:28] >> and drinking more wine.
[26:30] It turns out North Carolina farmland,
[26:33] especially in the Yadkin Valley outside
[26:36] Winston Salem, is ideal for growing
[26:38] French wine grapes.
[26:40] >> This is a double award-winning wine.
[26:42] >> Now, Upstart North Carolina wineries are
[26:45] winning awards domestically and even
[26:47] holding their own against some of the
[26:49] world's best wines, though they still
[26:51] have a ways to go.
[26:52] >> Even a wider variety than what we
[26:54] experienced in Napa. Um, and there's
[26:57] some good wines and some that are okay.
[27:00] The number of wineries in North Carolina
[27:02] has tripled in the last six years,
[27:04] bringing in tourists from all around the
[27:06] world. Entrepreneurs have jumped in to
[27:08] meet demand for fine dining and lodging.
[27:12] Hannah Holyfield saved a century old
[27:15] family home by turning it into a bed and
[27:17] breakfast.
[27:18] >> We've had just a great time having
[27:21] guests from all over.
[27:22] >> And inkeeper Twilight Sikmiller bought a
[27:25] limousine on eBay to take guests on wine
[27:28] tours. Probably about 90% of my business
[27:30] is now coming from the wine industry.
[27:32] >> Hosting wine tourists has prompted a bit
[27:35] of a culture change as well in this
[27:37] picturesque section of the Bible belt
[27:39] known for being the real Mayberry.
[27:42] Locals voted to kill dry laws when they
[27:45] realized the wine industry pumped $317
[27:48] million into North Carolina's economy
[27:51] last year.
[27:52] >> It's good for the state on a lot of
[27:54] different levels. you know, tax revenue,
[27:56] tourism revenue, but especially the
[27:58] impact it makes for those small rural
[28:00] communities that we have across our
[28:01] state.
[28:02] >> Looks like a pretty good crop coming on.
[28:04] >> As Frank Hobson and his wife Lena point
[28:06] out, no one ever traveled here to look
[28:09] at their tobacco fields.
[28:11] >> The wine maker should be very pleased.
[28:13] >> Sonia Crawford, ABC News, Booneville,
[28:16] North Carolina.
[28:19] >> Reporting from Yappa tonight. And that
[28:20] is world news for this Sunday. Tomorrow
[28:22] on Good Morning America, former
[28:24] President Jimmy Carter on the unrest in
[28:26] the Middle East. I'm Dan Harris. Thank
[28:28] you for watching tonight. For all of us
[28:29] here at ABC News, good night.
[28:41] >> He's at it again. So maybe you're cheap.
[28:44] Wednesday, John Staceel's taking on
[28:46] billionaires and all those trendy lavish
[28:48] charity balls. You should give more.
[28:50] >> Cheap in America. Who gives? Who
[28:52] doesn't? Just wait until you see a 2020
[28:54] special Wednesday at 10.
[28:58] >> Next on K2 News.
[29:00] >> Side streets are slick here in the
[29:02] gorge. Several vehicles have slipped off
[29:04] the highways here in Hood River County.
[29:06] Coming up, find out the different ways
[29:08] people are digging out on Mount Hood.
[29:11] It's lots of snow, spinning wheels, and
[29:13] tire chains. We'll tell you how people
[29:15] are dealing with all the snow and what
[29:17] they're doing to get ready for more. In
[29:19] the coast range, enough snow to scrape
[29:21] up and push to the side of the road. And
[29:23] now today's rain turning to snowflakes
[29:25] once again. And when the snow will hit
[29:27] your area.
[29:30] >> Live at 6:30, K2 News. The spirit of the
[29:33] Northwest.
