they're now telling members of the. community overseas tonight the American. heroes in Normandy. We remember D day and we remember what. they told us on the beaches of Normandy. and our promise and hanging by a thread. He's been performing his own death. defying stunts for years. Tonight Tom Cruise just setting a new. world record you'll see it right here. >> From ABC news world headquarters in New York this is.

world news tonight with David New York. >> Good evening and it's great to have you with us here. Friday night will get to these storms the tornado threat and. that scene at LaGuardia Airport here in New York City and. images of the storm setting Boston all of it in a moment. here. Lee, of course, has the forecast. But we do begin tonight with President Trump talking to. ABC News about Elon Musk. Tonight, President Trump telling our Jonathan Karl that Musk, quote, "has lost his mind.". And what the president said just moments ago about whether. he has any plans to talk with Musk.

ABC's chief Washington course, but at Jonathan Karl leading. us off, after talking with the president about Musk. amid this explosive feud between the two men. A day after his explosive breakup with Elon. Musk, President Trump told me, "Musk is. quote the man who has lost his mind, adding that Musk. wants to talk to him, but he's quote not particularly. interested in talking to Musk right now.". In just a moment to go, ABC's Rachel Scott. asking Trump about Musk. "You have any plans to speak with Mr. Musk?

This was one of her closest advisors.". I don't have any plans. Sources close to the president tell me Trump is telling people. that Musk's outburst happened because he's using drugs. I asked Trump about that, but he wouldn't comment on the record. The president later told CNN about Musk, quote, "He's got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem.". This after yesterday's spectacle, which. began when Trump in the Oval Office reacted. to Musk's escalating attacks on his budget bill, which. Musk has called a, quote, disgusting abomination.

I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot. Musk was watching and while Trump was still speaking, he fired back. Posting, without me, Trump would have lost the election, such in gratitude. Trump responded on his own social media, suggesting Musk was just another disgruntled former employee, saying, quote, "Elon was wearing thin. I asked him to leave.". He also threatened to cut Musk's $20 billion. dollars in government contracts. Musk went nuclear, suggesting Trump should be impeached and.

then going even further, linking Trump and notorious sex. trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Time to drop the really big bomb Musk posted on X. Real Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. That explosive accusation caught everyone by surprise. FBI director Cash Patel, hearing what Musk had said. while he was in the middle of an interview. with podcaster Joe Rogan. - Jesus Christ, that's a crazy thing to say.

How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files? Or does he have access to the Epstein files? - I don't know how he would, but I'm just staying out. of the Trump Elon thing. That's way out, my God. - What the fuck are they doing? - What the fuck are they doing? I know my lane and that ain't it. But overnight, it seemed like both Mosque and the President. were trying to tone things down. When one of Trump's top supporters posted, they should make peace for the benefit of our. great country. We are much stronger together than apart. Mosque responded, "You're not wrong.".

In sources, teleBC News at the White House is considering. either selling or giving away that red Tesla Model. S that Trump brought bought with some. fanfare back in March as a show of support. for Elon Musk. Trump was just asked about this on Air Force One. and he said he hasn't really thought about it. - John Carl and the conversation, John, thank you. We turned out of the severe storms on the move tonight. from Texas really all the way up into the Northeast. In fact, look at the images from LaGuardia Airport. in New York City tonight. Ground stops at multiple airports across the Northeast.

at LaGuardia, the line of planes. As far as you can see, the delays mounting amid. multiple ground stops and the storms moving. in. Near Lubbock, Texas, a tornado. bearing down in a home but somehow that home was spared. This one also near Lubbock, more than two dozen reported. tornadoes in just the past 24 hours. In Vamburian, Arkansas, a tornado striking this. neighborhood, damaging more than 50 homes. And today, on Massachusetts storms reaching into. the northeast, giant trees coming down. to cars and homes in South Boston. Lee Goldberg standing by with the forecast.

and Maria V. Ariole in Texas tonight. Tonight more than 35 million on alert for severe storms. tornado siren sounding in Van Buren Arkansas just after dawn. Sheat metal flying off this warehouse. Authorities in Van Buren say at least 50 structures were hit. How's your place? It's gone. If thanks gone. families in shock. I just heard a big noise. My window cracked a tree fell in.

the in the window. Man, it was this close to my bed. overnight multiple tornadoes reported in New Mexico and. West Texas. This powerful twister churned near Lubbock. Storm chasers, Simon Brewer and Justin Drake getting up close. Oh my gosh, man! Storms also dumped a rental rain that swamped drivers. in shallow water texas. Lightning likely to blame for these massive oil storage tanks. erupting in flames southeast of Oklahoma City.

and an early round of storms in the Boston. area taking down trees. Plains stacked up at New York's LaGuardia airport, more than 100 flights canceled their alone, as the northeast is under threat again tonight. And David, you can see with the damage left behind. by those storm straight line winds, heading this building, knocking it all over. Families tell me right now they are very concerned. about the weather that is expected to hit. over the next few days. We're talking about hail more rain and now this entire area.

Lubbock they are under a tornado watch. David. Yeah, all over again, Maria. Thank you. Let's get right to chief meteorologist Lee Goldberg of. our New York station, W A B C back with us tonight. Highly. Hi, David. It's the very thundest room warning in the. Lubbock area right now. We can't get a break in this area. There's a tornado warning in the Oklahoma Panhandle. The watches extend to. Eastern Colorado. There's another tornado to watch western Kentucky, western Tennessee. We've had severe storms in New England, showers in the Hudson Valley have been tracking storms.

here in the New York area. Let's time this out. Showers and storms, ways of them. We'll go through the northeastern in. the day tomorrow. They'll be offshore in the evening. and then our focus turns to the south. And we have a severe threat all the way from Texas. and Oklahoma to the East Coast. Some of the strongest storms and enhanced threat for. damaging winds over Mississippi and Alabama. By Sunday, you're talking about a threat. that's on the East Coast from Virginia Beach to Savannah. and a renewed threat once again over the Texas Panhandle. They can't get away from the storms. David. Lee Gilbert back with us on a. Friday night, thank you Lee. Tonight, ABC News, the first report that deported migrant,

Kilmar, Obrego Garcia, is now back on US soil, returned from El Salvador months after the White. House acknowledged it was an administrative. error to deport him in the first place. But the return tonight comes with a major twist in this case, the charges he now faces here in the US. Here's Pierre Thomas. Tonight, ABC News first to report. Kilmar, Arbago Garcia, with a White House. initially said was mistakenly deported. to El Salvador, is now back on American soil. A dramatic turn in an ongoing political firestorm.

The government of El Salvador sending him back today. after an arrest warrant was issued here in the U.S. "The man has a horrible past, and I can see a. decision being made, bring him back show everybody. how horrible this guy is. Yeah, you drivers that Lauren connected to this 2022. traffic stop in Tennessee. Arbago Garcia driving an SUV with nine other people in sign. I mean, how many roles have you got in here? Four? Troopers at the.

scene suspicious. He's a hate-hawling these people for money. You got a. [bleep] dollar is what he's doing. And tonight, a DOJ indictment accusing. Arbregogarcia of being part of a human smuggling operation. that transported drugs, weapons, and thousands. of undocumented migrants, including. MS-13 gang members and children across the country. He made over 100 trips the grand jury found, smuggling people throughout our country.

Tonight, Arbago Garcia's lawyers blasting the. government's actions. They'll stop at nothing at all, even some of the most. preposterous charges imaginable, just to avoid admitting. that they made a mistake, which is what everyone. knows happened in this case. Abrego Garcia's return coming almost two months after the. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that his removal to Al. Salvador was, quote, "eligo.". In order to trump administration to facilitate his return. Tonight, DOJ filing notice in federal court saying it.

believes it has complied with a judges' order to return Abrego. Garcia here to the U.S. and that the case should be dismissed. "Here, Thomas, in Washington, here, thank you. We turn now to the war in Ukraine. Martha Raditz is there as Russia now attacks Ukraine, Russia. saying its retaliation for those Ukrainian drones. Tonight, Martha's exclusive interview with. President Zelensky, Zelensky revealing it was. actually Russian drivers who unknowingly drove. those Ukrainian drones deep inside Russia. Martha Raditz tonight and her exclusive interview from Kiev.

as those Russian missiles came down overnight. Tonight, Ukraine reeling from a deadly and terrifying barrage. Nearly 500 Russian missiles and drones raining down on Ukraine. Russia says this is retaliation for that. stunning Ukrainian attack. There's Ukrainian drones that flew deep inside Russia and set. Russian military planes on fire.

Now, Russian missiles slamming this neighborhood. in video circulating online. An outside cave where we are, explosions as. Russia's fury is felt here. (gunfire). Ukraine's national athletics team taking cover. as bombs fell around them. We took shelter during a relentless four. hour long assault here, our team in the bunker. as Russia targeted nearly every corner of Ukraine. More than 50 people have been killed or wounded.

in these attacks, and tonight, with his country under attack, my exclusive interview with President Zelinsky. - It's quite a night. Yeah, this is going on. We ask about that brazen drone attack on Russia. Drone's launching out of containers of top trucks, soaring toward their targets, setting multiple. Russian warplanes, including nuclear-capable. bombers on fire. Zelensky telling me it took a year and a half to plan,

then making this stunning revelation, saying the Russians themselves unknowingly delivered those. drones to their locations. "You had Russian drivers who had no idea.". "They didn't know.". "They didn't know.". "The drivers didn't know what they do.". "Yeah, they just did their job.". And three years into this bloody war, we ask the Ukrainian leader to respond to this comment. from President Trump comparing it to two children. fighting in the park.

Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy. They hate each other and they're fighting in a park. And you try and pull them apart. They don't want to be pulled. Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while. and then pulling them apart. Do you think the president is getting that message. when he says things like it's two children fighting? A president. "It's not about President Trump, Zelensky told me.

It's really about any person who. is thousands of miles away and cannot fully feel and. understand this pain, adding, we are not kids with Putin at the. playground. He is a murderer who came to this park to. kill the kids.". And, David, President Zelensky telling me he does not believe. that Putin wants peace and is urging President Trump and. world leaders to put much stronger sanctions on Russia. Meanwhile, here in Ukraine, those intense.

Russian bombings continue. David. Martha Raditz, Ukraine. for us tonight. Martha, thank you. She'll be in key. Even more of her interview with President Zelensky. and her reporting. Sunday morning, right here on ABCs this week, we'll be watching Martha. Thanks.

Prison officials say he wore a law enforcement style uniform.

Now to the American passenger describing the. horror after tourists were trapped in a crowded. ferry that tourboat flooding with water, passengers jumping. for their lives smashing windows to get out. Here's Britclinit. "Tonight, an American tourist speaking out after surviving. this horrific ferry sinking off the coast of Bali. 24-year-old Lauren Deg was on the trip of a. lifetime celebrating her birthday when the.
