York, this is World News Tonight with.

David Mure. Good evening. As we come on. the air in the West tonight, we do begin. with breaking news. We'll get to those. stories in a moment. But first, the. developing headline at this hour. Israel. has launched an attack on Iran. President Trump had told reporters it. could very well happen. the warnings for. Americans across the region. And ABC's. Marcus Moore reporting from Israel. tonight. Tonight, Israel announcing it. has launched a military strike against. Iran. Smoke seen rising in Thran in. video posted online. A US official tells. us the US had no involvement in the.

attack and didn't provide any. assistance. Israel's defense minister. declaring a state of emergency, warning. he expects Iran to quickly retaliate. The move comes after the State. Department ordered non-essential. diplomats out of neighboring Iraq. The. Pentagon authorized the departure of. military families throughout the Middle. East. We have a lot of American people. in this area and I said, "We got to tell. them to get out because something could. happen soon and I don't want to be the. one that didn't give any warning and. missiles are flying into their.

buildings." Earlier today, the president. insisting the US could still strike a. diplomatic deal with Iran over its. nuclear program, cautioning an Israeli. attack could derail those talks. As long. as I think there is an agreement, I. don't want them going in because I think. I would blow it. Might help it actually, but it also could blow it. And just. hours before Israel attacked, Trump. posting, quote, "We remain committed to. a diplomatic resolution to the Iran. nuclear issue." And David, again, those. strikes are underway tonight. An Israeli.

military official said that they. targeted nuclear facilities and military. targets, including commanders. And this. just in from the US Secretary of State. Marco Rubio saying, quote, "We are not. involved in strikes against Iran and our. top priority is protecting American. forces in the region." And David, he. went on to urge Iran not to target US. interests or personnel. David, Marcus. Moore from Israel. Marcus, thank you. In. the meantime, we turn to the other major. news this evening. The new video of that. horrific crash. An Air India passenger. jet just moments after taking off from.

the airport in Western India bound for. London. The first ever crash of a Boeing. 787 Dreamliner in the air for only 30. seconds. At least 246 people killed. And. tonight, the incredible story here of. that lone survivor, the miracle in seat. 11A. Surveillance video showing the last. moments of the flight about 30 seconds. after liftoff, seeming to lose power. You can see the plane dropping in the. sky, disappearing behind buildings, and. then exploding into a massive fireball. 242 passengers and crew on board. The.

plane crashing into a medical college, destroying a dorm and killing several. people on the ground as well. Firefighters and rescuers battling those. flames, working to untangle the. wreckage, trying to recover the bodies. inside. The plane breaking up, the tail. lodged right into a building. The black. boxes are in that part of the plane. They're hoping they unlock some of this. mystery. And tonight, what we're. learning about that miracle survivor, the man sitting in seat 11A, you can see. walking away from the crash, saying he. has no idea how he survived this. ABC's.

chief foreign correspondent Ian Panel. leading us off tonight from London's. Gatwick airport where that plane was. supposed to land. Tonight, the chilling. final moments of flight AI 171. The. Londonbound Air India jet roaring down. the runway. But immediately after. takeoff, the plane struggling to climb, appearing to lose engine power, plunging. into a residential neighborhood in. Armadabad, India, exploding in a massive. fireball about 30 seconds after takeoff.

Video filmed from a nearby building. showing the horror unfolding. The plane. loaded with jet fuel and 242 passengers. and crew on board headed to Gatwick. Airport in London. Plumes of thick black smoke billowing. from the crash site. Firefighters. spraying water on the burning wreckage. The plane slamming into a medical. college during lunchtime. You can see. the abandoned meals on the tables. Shocking images showing the tail. sticking out of a building next to a.

mangle landing gear. Debris scattered. for blocks. At least 246 people killed including. several medical students on the ground, authorities say. And tonight, after police initially said. there were no survivors on the plane, Air India making a stunning. announcement. One person on board. survived. Extraordinary video appears to. show the sole survivor, Vishwash Ramsh, limping away minutes after the crash.

Smoke billowing in the background. He. reportedly told local media he doesn't. know how he made it out alive. His. family here in Britain speaking out. tonight. Grateful Vishwash survived, but. tragically his brother AJ still missing. when he was on the runway. Well, my dad. called him and Vishwash said, "Oh, we're. going to take off soon." And then. literally like 2 minutes later, he video. called my dad as he crashed. He said, "Our plane's crashed." All of that. I. don't know where my brother is. I don't.

see any other passengers. I don't know. how I how I'm alive, how I exited the. plane. Vishwash reportedly seated in 11A. in the emergency exit row. This is the. first ever crash of a Boeing 787. Dreamliner, which has had a perfect. flying record since entering service in. 2011. Tonight, investigators, including. the NTSB, pouring over those videos, searching for clues. The 787 is an. extraordinarily safe airplane and so to. watch it unable to get airborne raises.

all sorts of questions. Were both. engines operating? Did they lose an. engine on takeoff? Or was there. something more that caused them to. impact the ground just after taking off? David, that flight was supposed to land. here at London's Gapwick Airport just a. few hours ago. Instead, tonight, families of the victims have been given. help and support as they mourn their. loved ones. David Ian panel leading us. off tonight from London. Ian, thank you. Back here in the US tonight and to the. dramatic confrontation over President. Trump's immigration crackdown.

California Senator Alex Padilla. interrupting Homeland Security Secretary. Christy Gnome during a press conference. trying to ask questions about the raids. FBI agents then grabbing the senator, pulling him out of the room, handcuffing. him behind his back, pushing him down. face down on the floor after Secretary. Gnome said she didn't know who the man. was. and the senator who has served. since 2021 and what he said afterward, growing emotional with his words, asking. if this can happen to him, a sitting. senator, what's happening to others.

Matt Rivers was in that room as this. played out. Tonight, serious questions. in Los Angeles and beyond as this scene. played out at a press conference on. immigration raids with Homeland Security. Secretary Christy Gnome as California. Senator Alex Padilla tries to interrupt. and ask questions of Gnome. Hands up. Hands up. I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have. question for the secretary. You can hear. him saying his name as he tried to. confront the secretary over ICE arrests. of people without criminal records.

Hands off, but federal agents quickly. moving in, blocking the senator as he. approached Gnome, then grabbing and. forcibly removing him from the room. Hands behind your back. Officers taking. Padilla to the ground, then handcuffing the senator, hands. behind his back, face down on the floor. He was later released. I think everybody. in America would would agree that that. wasn't appropriate, that if you wanted. to have a civil discussion, especially. as a a leader, a public official, that. you would reach out and try to have a. conversation. Secretary Gnome later said.

she didn't know who the senator was. Padilla has been a US senator since. 2021, and she is conducting raids in the. state where he serves. Late today, the. senator appearing shaken before the. cameras. If this is how this. administration responds to a senator. with a question, if this is how the. Department of Homeland Security responds. to a senator with a question, you can. only imagine. what they're doing to farm workers, to.

cooks, to day laborers out in the Los. Angeles community and throughout. California and throughout the country. It all comes after images like these ICE. agents chasing farm workers through. strawberry fields. President Trump now. saying some of these workers are good. workers. We're not targeting. In fact, if you look today, I put out a statement. today about farmers. Our farmers are. being hurt badly by, you know, they have.

very good workers. They've worked for. them for 20 years. They they're not. citizens, but they've turned out to be, you know, great. And we're going to have. to do something about that. We can't. take farmers and take all their people. and send them back. And late tonight, a. US District judge ordering President. Trump to return control of California's. National Guard to Governor Nuomo. The. Trump administration already appealing. Are we just kidnapping him? It's like, oh, you look Mexican. I'm Mexican, too. What's residents in one LA neighborhood. say they stopped the arrest of this.

undocumented man by masked agents after. they say he was spotted working at a car. wash. It looked like a full on. kidnapping scene out of a movie. It was. scary. Around the country, protesters clashing. with police. In Tucson, some throwing. objects at police as masked officers. fired back with rubber bullets. In Las. Vegas, officers dispersing crowds of. demonstrators, later claiming they were. throwing rocks and water bottles. In. Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott.

deploying 5,000 members of the National. Guard to help manage protests. But on. Capitol Hill today, the Democratic. governors of Illinois, Minnesota, and. New York condemning the deployment of. troops in Los Angeles. As we speak, an. American city has been militarized. over the objections of their governor. This is a flagrant abuse of power and. nothing short of an assault on our. American values. So, let's bring in Matt. Rivers. He's live in Los Angeles. Matt, of course, was in that room during this.

press conference today. and Matt moving. this story forward tonight. We now. expect to see hundreds of US Marines. sent by President Trump to now join the. National Guard across Los Angeles. Yeah, that's right, David. And that. press conference was extraordinary. And. tonight, we are expecting some 700. Marines to begin deploying onto the. streets of Los Angeles. We are expecting. more protests, David, uh even as that. overnight curfew downtown remains in. place. David, Matt Rivers live in Los. Angeles tonight. Matt, thank you. We're. going to turn now to the deadly flooding.

and the urgent rescues playing out after. flash floods swept away drivers in their. cars. The death toll is growing tonight. Torrential rain in Texas. We've just. learned a fifth person has died in San. Antonio after more than 6 ines of rain. there overnight. Firefighters making at. least 60 high water rescues. One of. them, a man found clinging to a tree. right there. More than a dozen vehicles. washed away. You can see multiple. vehicles right there. Rescuers going. through each one of them. At least four. bodies found at that scene right there. Now tonight, flash flood threats. stretching from Texas to Tennessee all.

over again. ABC's Maria Valol in San. Antonio for us. Tonight, the death toll rising from. devastating floods that inundated parts. of Texas overnight. Cars floating. downstream in San Antonio. This man. clinging to a tree, water raging below. Watch as first responders carefully pull. him to safety. The rain stopped and the. water receding revealed absolute. devastation. You can see right here the. vehicles left behind, heavy vehicles and.

the drivers inside no match for these. flood waters. Crews checking this. vehicle, finding at least one victim. inside. San Antonio's fire chief telling. me they rescued more than 60 people. As. soon as they got off their vehicles, they started hearing screams across the. way. So they knew that they had to to. work quick, especially with the. fastmoving current. The floods fueled by. torrential thunderstorms that dumped. more than six inches in spots. And.

outside Houston, at least two tornadoes. confirmed, one of them packing 100 mph. winds. Multiple homes in Wharton County. damaged. And David, the power of these. flood waters evident by the damage you. see right behind me. The cement from. these creek walls literally ripped off. and landing in a heap. Tonight, the. threat lingers right now for flooding. and thunderstorms from Texas all the way. to Tennessee. David, millions fearing. this all over again tonight. Maria, thank you for being there on the scene. We move on to other news now and the.

dramatic end to Harvey Weinstein sex. crimes retrial here in New York City. The judge today declaring a mistrial on. the third and final count of rape after. the jury foreman refused to return to. deliberate out of concern for his own. safety in the jury room. That foreman. telling the judge, among other things, another juror was yelling at him, trying. to change his mind. The jury had managed. two unanimous verdicts on sexual. assault, convicting him on one count, acquitting him on the other. Tonight, prosecutors pledged to retry Weinstein. on the rape charge. When we come back,

in New York City, multiple NYPD vehicles. set on fire. Also remembering a. well-known actor from Scarface to. Ghostbusters. And then the scare at. Boston's Logan Airport, a JetBlue plane. right off the runway. And what the. pilots had happened in just a moment. here. Tonight, a JetBlue flight from Chicago. veering off the runway after landing at. Boston's Logan Airport. Rolling right. into the grass. The pilot telling air. traffic control the plane had no. steering. Passengers evacuating down the. stairway. No one was injured. In New. York City tonight, police are searching. for a suspect accused of setting nearly.

a dozen police vehicles on fire in. Bushwick, Brooklyn. They were in a lot. about two blocks from the 83rd precinct. Officers say they found several. unexloded devices on three other cars. When we come back, from Scarface to. Ghostbusters 2, remembering an actor. from Broadway, the movies, and TV. To the index tonight, actor Harris Ulan. has died of cardiac arrest. He starred. on Broadway and in more than 100 TV. shows and movies, including Scarface, Ghostbusters 2, and Clear and Present.

Danger. He was 87. When we come back. tonight, the wife taken up in a plane. and what she saw when she looked down. You have to see this. Finally tonight here, America strong. The farmer and the field and one. surprise for his wife. Tonight in Pratt, Kansas, outside Witchah, one farmer and. his active love for his wife. Look at. this. At Blazy Farms, they grow wheat. And second generation farmer Jesse Blazy. had an idea. How to surprise his wife.

Sarah for their 20th wedding. anniversary. Back in October, he started. carefully planting red and white wheat. seeds. This one is a variety called. Paradise by Palansky Seed. And then the. white wheat's actually two varieties. Prolific by Agroplur and Winterhawk by. Westbread. More than 65 million red. seeds, more than 255 million white. seeds. You might see where this is. going. 320 acres covered. And tonight, with that wheat now grown, this is what. their farm now looks like from above.

The message that farmer grew for his. wife, Jesse and Sarah, 20 years. And. this is the moment Sarah was taken up in. a small plane by a neighbor, a fellow. farmer to show her. And right here. tonight, good evening, David. Sarah on. that message. To say I was surprised is. is very much an understatement. Um, pretty funny to think that that was. growing there, you know, since last. fall. And tonight, Sarah with her own. message on her 20th wedding anniversary.

The farm life is uh is tough sometimes. And so, uh, I think Jesse and I try to, uh, when he needs help, I help him. When. I need help, he helps me. And, uh, we're. a team. And we loved what her husband. Jesse told our friends at Cake News when. asked, "What will you do next year?". The, the problem is, I've raised the bar. for myself. So, this may be the pinnacle. of anniversary gifts, you know, so don't. want to raise the expectations that I. can pull this off again. Definitely. raised the bar. Well, we salute our.

farmers and happy anniversary, Jesse and. Sarah. I'll see you tomorrow. Good. night.
