02:17From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir.
02:25Good evening. Thanks for joining us on a very busy Wednesday night.
02:28I'm Whit Johnson, in for David.
02:30We begin tonight with breaking news in the Sean Diddy Combs trial here in New York.
02:34Just a short time ago, the judge denied Combs bail.
02:37About six hours after the jury delivered that split verdict, finding the music mogul not guilty on the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
02:48The jury acquitting him on three of five counts, finding him guilty on lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.
02:56He now faces up to 20 years in federal prison on those two counts.
03:00The judge saying he denied bail based on Combs' propensity for violence, making him a danger to the community.
03:06Let's get right to ABC's chief investigative correspondent, Aaron Katursky, leading us off from the courthouse.
03:12Aaron.
03:14Hundreds of people are gathered here outside court with, and Sean Combs went from elated to deflated today,
03:22celebrating the outcome of the trial, then hanging his head after he learned he would not be released before sentencing.
03:28Tonight, a judge denying Sean Combs bail, just hours after a split verdict.
03:34The jury convicting him of two counts of transporting people for prostitution,
03:38but finding him not guilty of the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
03:44As the verdict was read earlier in the day, Combs was elated, dropping to his knees in prayer.
03:49He put his hands together and mouthed, thanking you to the eight men and four women on the jury.
03:53He then turned to his family and said, I'm coming home, baby, I'm coming home.
03:57The family broke into applause, his son Christian celebrating on the street.
04:01You got everybody watching, Christian, so happy, and the pop is coming home.
04:05But not tonight.
04:06The judge said Combs poses a danger to the community, pointing to the defense's own admission
04:11that this was a case that did have violence.
04:13It's an incredible odyssey for one of hip-hop's biggest celebrities,
04:17who was arrested in New York last September after federal agents raided his opulent homes in Miami and Los Angeles.
04:23They seized weapons, drugs, boxes of baby oil, and cartons of lubricant that prosecutors used
04:29in an attempt to show Combs ran a criminal enterprise that trafficked women,
04:33transported prostitutes, and committed other crimes with the help of his staff,
04:37who they said served the defendant's every desire through a methodical pattern of violence, coercion, and manipulation.
04:42But the jury sided with the defense, which prosecutors argued badly, badly exaggerated the case
04:48so they could charge threesomes as racketeering.
04:51The 11-year relationship between Combs and Cassie Ventura became a centerpiece of the case.
04:56In public, the couple seemed glamorous.
04:58In private, she testified there was physical violence, psychological trauma,
05:02and degrading sex with male escorts while Combs watched, directed, and filmed.
05:07Cassie is satisfied that she did her part.
05:10Everything that she was asked to do, I hope other survivors, people who are suffering in silence
05:18and who might be listening to this interview, are not deterred from coming forward
05:22because I don't think, and I know actually, that Cassie doesn't regret anything that she did.
05:272016 hotel security camera footage captured Combs kicking and dragging Ventura.
05:31The defense arguing it depicts domestic violence.
05:34We own it. It happened, the defense said.
05:37It's not sex trafficking.
05:38Late today, the defense reacting outside the court.
05:41He has not sexually assaulted anyone, certainly hasn't sexually trafficked anyone.
05:46Aaron Katursky back with us now from the courthouse.
05:49And Aaron, late today, Combs' defense attorneys were still pleading with the judge
05:53to reduce the amount of time he has to spend behind bars.
05:56His attorneys sure did plead with the judge to release Combs on bail.
06:01And Combs looked pretty frustrated when the judge refused.
06:05At one point, he raised his hand as if he wanted to argue himself.
06:10The judge did say he would consider moving up sentencing, which is tentatively set for October 3rd.
06:16That's when Combs faces up to 20 years in prison.
06:19And, Whit, he is also facing more than five dozen civil lawsuits.
06:23Whit.
06:24Eric Katursky, on this case from the very beginning, we do appreciate it.
06:27Thank you.
06:28And a programming note here.
06:30The ABC News special, Verdict, the Diddy trial, airs tonight at 10 Eastern.
06:34We're following another developing story right now.
06:37The massive fireworks explosion in Northern California.
06:40Authorities say seven people are now missing an urgent search underway.
06:44The blast leveling a fireworks warehouse and igniting other fires in the area.
06:49Here's ABC's Trevor Ault.
06:51Tonight, authorities say seven people are unaccounted for after this stunning explosion at a California fireworks warehouse.
07:01There was just a huge fireworks explosion in the field.
07:06These massive flames erupting over and over Tuesday night in Yolo County, outside Sacramento.
07:12You can see some of those dangerous fireworks igniting.
07:16I thought it was an earthquake.
07:179-1-1 operators overwhelmed with calls from residents saying the blast shook their homes.
07:25Windows, everything rattled.
07:28I'm surprised the windows didn't break out.
07:29The warehouse was used for firewall storage.
07:32California fire officials say the explosion burned about 80 acres.
07:36It's a very complex and ongoing incident that is not completely terminated or mitigated.
07:40Tonight, the fire is still burning, and this remains an active threat with the area under evacuation.
07:47Investigators are using unmanned aircraft to find those seven missing people, saying it's still not yet safe to go in.
07:54He was excited to be a dad.
07:58I'm only two months, so we were just waiting for this.
08:02There's a new opportunity, a new chapter.
08:04He saw it as a new chapter in our life.
08:07Now, family members of those missing are voicing their frustration.
08:11We were here since yesterday and have yet to receive any information, have yet to receive any efforts.
08:16Witt, the cause of this fire is not yet known.
08:19We have learned two people were injured in the initial explosions.
08:22Both of them are expected to be ok.
08:24Witt.
08:25Trevor Ault for us.
08:26Thank you.
08:26Now to the sudden and stunning turn in the Idaho College murders case.
08:30After insisting his innocence for nearly three years, Brian Koberger today pleads guilty to fatally stabbing four students in an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022.
08:43Tonight, mixed reactions from the victim's families, some calling it justice, but another blasting it as a deal with the devil.
08:50Here's ABC's Kena Whitworth in Idaho.
08:52For nearly three years, Brian Koberger's lawyers insisted he was innocent in the brutal stabbings of four Idaho college students.
09:01And tonight, that changed as he accepted a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.
09:06Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?
09:09Yes.
09:10The former criminology PhD student pleading guilty to all four counts of first-degree murder,
09:15confessing that he willfully took the lives of Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Zanna Karnodal, and Ethan Chapin.
09:23During the hearing, Koberger abruptly standing from his seat to emphatically answer the judge's questions.
09:29Yes.
09:30All right.
09:30The judge asking him to sit.
09:32And Mr. Koberger, just to make it easier, you don't need to stand when you speak to me.
09:35I appreciate it.
09:36Then going through the victims one by one, sending chills through the courtroom.
09:40Did you, on November 13, 2022, in Latah County, state of Idaho, kill and murder Madison Mogan, a human being?
09:51Yes.
09:52Kaylee Gonsalves, a human being?
09:55Yes.
09:56Zanna Karnodal, pardon me, a human being?
09:59Yes.
10:00Ethan Chapin, a human being?
10:02Yes.
10:02Loved ones tearing up as each student's name was read aloud, and Koberger's father shaking his head in disbelief while consoling his mother.
10:11Outside of court, Kaylee Gonsalves' parents slamming the deal.
10:15They say they wanted a full confession and the location of the murder weapon, telling our Alex Stone.
10:20When you heard your daughter's name being read in court with those details, what was that like?
10:26I let my daughter down.
10:27The family of Ethan Chapin in support of the plea deal, and tonight, a lawyer for Maddie Mogan's family saying they are 100% behind it.
10:37We turn from darkness and uncertainty of the legal process to the light of the future.
10:43We have closure.
10:45And Witt, next is sentencing.
10:47It's scheduled for July 23rd.
10:48It could carry over into the 24th.
10:50At that hearing, the victims' families will have an opportunity to make a statement, and then Brian Koberger will begin serving four consecutive life sentences with no ability to appeal.
11:02Witt.
11:02An emotional day in court.
11:04Kena Whitworth, thank you.
11:05Now to the severe storms and the growing tropical threat off the coast of Florida and record holiday travel heading into the long July 4th weekend.
11:13More than 61 million people are expected to hit the roads, with today being one of the busiest travel days of the year.
11:20The TSA is screening nearly 2.5 million people at the airports yesterday, that number likely higher today.
11:26Lee Goldberg with the forecast in just a moment.
11:29But first, here's ABC's Stephanie Ramos.
11:33Tonight, highways jammed coast to coast, one of the busiest days to travel by car.
11:38It's either putting yourself in the right mindset or leaving very, very early.
11:42Storms finally moving out of the northeast after swamping roads in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
11:48Lightning rocking New England.
11:51The deafening strike outside Boston in Walpole, Massachusetts, setting fire to a home.
11:57The storms forced more than 1,600 flight cancellations Tuesday and more than 8,000 delays.
12:04Sisters Tammy and Melanie were on their way to Iceland, coming from Dallas-Fort Worth.
12:08They missed their connection at Newark and spent the night on the floor.
12:12Then we couldn't find a hotel room anywhere.
12:14And so we then we thought, well, let's just pull up some cement.
12:18So that's what we did last night.
12:19Effects from delays and cancellations extending to the halls of Congress.
12:23With so many flights canceled in and out of Washington, D.C., members are scrambling to get back to the Capitol to vote on the tax bill.
12:30In St. Louis, frantic passengers climbing down the wing of a United Express flight bound for Chicago that returned to St. Louis after pilots reported smoke in the cabin.
12:41In the West, more dust storms in the forecast after a massive cloud engulfed Harry Reid International Airport.
12:49Multiple planes were grounded as a result.
12:52And, Witt, as you can see, traffic is busy behind me on the George Washington Bridge.
12:57Today and Sunday are the busiest days to travel on the road.
13:00Severe storms return to the northeast tomorrow.
13:04Witt.
13:04Stephanie Ramos, thank you.
13:05Let's get right to meteorologist Lee Goldberg from our New York station WABC.
13:09And, Lee, those severe storms could have a big impact.
13:11No doubt, Witt, a day off from storms today, the right back tomorrow with some gusty winds and heavy downboards.
13:19There are problem spots this evening.
13:20For instance, the desert southwest because of the monsoonal flow.
13:23We've got flooding parts of Arizona, reports of blowing dust in parts of Tucson.
13:27Other storms from the northern Rockies into the Great Lakes, and it's still raining in the mid-Atlantic down to the southeast.
13:32As for tomorrow, after a sunny start in the northeast, we've got storms between about 3 in the afternoon and 9 in the evening,
13:37maybe close to 6 o'clock along the I-95 corridor, Philly, New York, Hartford, damaging winds of possibility,
13:43and then we get much nicer for the 4th.
13:45The southeast is an issue as well.
13:47There's a front stalled over Florida.
13:48It means waves of rain.
13:50There is a small chance, but a climbing chance for tropical development early next week.
13:54They'll have heavy rains regardless.
13:56Rest of the country, it's heat and storms in the middle of the country.
13:59Sunshine on both coasts couldn't be nicer, Witt, for the Macy's fireworks here in New York.
14:03Witt.
14:03We will take that.
14:04Lee Goldberg, we appreciate it, as always.
14:06Thank you.
14:07Now to President Trump's massive spending and tax cut bill.
14:10Facing new challenges in the House after narrowly passing the Senate,
14:14the president and Speaker Mike Johnson trying to convince holdout members of their own party
14:18to support the bill despite concerns about Medicaid cuts and adding trillions to the national debt.
14:24ABC's Mary Bruce reporting from the White House tonight.
14:28Tonight, an all-out scramble.
14:30The president and the House Speaker working the phones and twisting arms,
14:33trying to get Republicans on board with Trump's signature bill.
14:37We can't make everyone 100 percent happy.
14:39It's impossible.
14:40At this hour, the vote's still not there for the bill that includes roughly $4 trillion in tax cuts,
14:46mostly for the wealthy, and new spending on immigration enforcement.
14:50Hardline conservative Republicans angry that the bill could add $3.4 trillion to the debt over the next decade.
14:57Moderates concerned cuts to Medicaid could force an estimated 11.8 million people to lose their insurance.
15:03After the bill narrowly passed to the Senate, the president told me he thought it would be easier in the House.
15:09What is your message to those holdouts?
15:11It's a great bill.
15:12There is something for everyone.
15:14And I think it's going to go very nicely in the House.
15:17Actually, I think it will be easier in the House than it was in the Senate.
15:21Today, he's summoned the holdouts to the White House.
15:24Are Jay O'Brien catching up with them later?
15:26Congressman, did the president move any votes to the White House?
15:29Keeping all today close to the vest.
15:31Did the president move your vote?
15:33The president was very kind and gifted in his speech.
15:38Republicans on the fence well aware the president has promised there will be consequences for those who stand in the way of his bill.
15:46And the speaker says he remains optimistic and hopeful, says they're making progress.
15:51He wants to get this done later tonight.
15:53And reminder, Whit, they can only lose three Republican votes and still pass this.
15:57Whit?
15:57Mary Bruce, thank you.
15:59When we come back tonight, Princess Kate opens up about her cancer battle and how it's changing her life.
16:04A shark attacking a teenage surfer then appears to chase him as other surfers race to get him to safety.
16:11And part of a jet's wing flap turns up on a suburban driveway in North Carolina.
16:15What we know about how it got there.
16:17Next tonight, a terrifying scene on a beach in Australia.
16:22A teenage boy lucky to be alive.
16:25These images appearing to show a shark chasing the boy as other surfers bring him to safety.
16:30He was badly mauled, bitten multiple times.
16:33People on the beach applied a tourniquet using a surfboard as a makeshift stretcher.
16:37A teen rushed to a nearby hospital.
16:39Tonight, the FAA is investigating after part of a wing flap from a Delta plane was found in a driveway in North Carolina.
16:46Police called to the scene this morning.
16:48Delta Flight 3247 from Atlanta to Raleigh-Durham landing safely just after midnight.
16:54An inspection later finding the plane missing a piece of a wing flap.
16:58Delta says it's cooperating with the investigation.
17:01Still ahead, Princess Kate meets with cancer patients and opens up about her own journey.
17:06To the index now, Britain's Princess of Wales opening up about her cancer battle, meeting with cancer patients and their families at a well-being garden in Essex, England.
17:17Kate calling a cancer diagnosis life-changing, talking about what it's like after the treatment ends.
17:22The phase afterwards is a really, you know, it's a really difficult journey.
17:26You know, you're not necessarily a mechanical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at a home as you perhaps once were used to.
17:36Princess Kate announced in January that she was in remission after completing chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed cancer.
17:44Up next, keeping cool as the temperatures soar, how zookeepers are bringing relief.
17:48Finally tonight, the animals feeling the heat and the creative ways to cool off.
17:56Tonight, in zoos across America, just like the rest of us, they're trying to beat the heat as temperatures rise.
18:03At the Houston Zoo, meet Ravioli, their North American river otter, racing from corner to corner in their habitat's pool, knowing it's dinner time.
18:13And these elephants taking a dip in their pool, too.
18:17Theirs is 10 feet deep.
18:18Rojo, the South American Pantanal jaguar cub, is enjoying his first summer at the zoo with a bite out of an icy treat.
18:28And Olive, the giant anteater, carefully sprayed with a chilly waterfall by our zookeepers.
18:33They say the water soothes Olive's long snout and dense fur.
18:37From the Milwaukee Zoo and the cool water for the bears, to the Memphis Zoo and the mud bath for the giant tortoises.
18:44Oh, this is perfect shot.
18:46Zoo's tonight saying they're keeping their beloved animals cool and comfortable with activities that also keep their minds and bodies engaged.
18:54These two otters carrying blocks of ice up steps and diving into the water.
18:59The families visiting, loving the show.
19:02And at the Phoenix Zoo, they're making snowmen.
19:05From the lions to the giraffes, all treated to man-made snow.
19:09As this weather is making so many desperate for ways to cool off.
19:13I think we're all feeling it, too.
19:16Thank you so much for watching tonight.
19:17And a reminder, the ABC News special, Verdict, the Diddy Trial, airs tonight at 10 Eastern.
