The FAA is taking extreme measures, ordering flights be. cut by up to 10 percent at 40 major airports across this.

Passengers scrambling to make last-minute changes, of. course, concerned whether their flight will be canceled, too, concerned about being stranded. also breaking at this hour of federal judge tonight, ordering the Trump administration to fully fund. November food benefits snap for 42 million Americans. by tomorrow. ABC's Rachel Scott leading us off tonight.

Tonight, a mad scramble for passengers. at airports across the country before airline. start canceling thousands of daily flights. The Trump administration says to ease the strain. on air traffic controllers from the government shutdown. I was able to get on the flat early. before some of the latest started, so I'm just. getting home before it happens. I'm so glad I'm flying out today. How stressful is it for you as. a traveler? Stressful? Check the, um, I guess. the wait time at the lines today beforehand. and just worried about it.

So keep your fingers crossed. Forty airports will be impacted, including the. country's busiest from Atlanta to Los Angeles to. Chicago. New York's JFK, Miami Detroit, and DCA in. Washington. Tonight, Delta Airlines says they'll cancel. a total of 170 flights tomorrow. American Airlines, 220, and United Airlines says. they'll slash just under 200. Passengers getting notifications like this one. Caitlin Ladner and Wisconsin had plans to. fly to Raleigh tomorrow to surprise her parents. It was definitely, you know, disappointing.

we've been planning it for a while and it was, it was pretty, it's pretty upsetting. In a since-deleted social media post, the CEO. of Frontier Airlines with this stark message, writing, "If your flight is canceled, your chances of being. stranded are high, so I would simply have a backup. ticket on another airline.". Today the president asked if Americans should feel safe. flying, with busy holiday travel just weeks away. That's why they're cutting, yeah, fair question. Sean Duffy and As they're cutting in certain areas, 10%,

and they want to make sure it's 100% safe. That's why they're doing it. Officials say the shortage of air traffic. controllers who missed their second full paycheck. today has reached a tipping point, pushing them to take. unprecedented action, reducing clients by 4% tomorrow. and ramping up to 10% over the next several days. safety first, you know, whatever they have to do. Day 37 of the government shutdown and demand is surging. Long lines at food banks and drive through food. distribution centers from California to Ohio.

OK, here you go. Judge John McConnell rebuking the Trump administration, accusing the White House of trying. to withhold benefits for, quote, political reasons. Pointing to the president's own words on social media, saying payments will be given only when Democrats. open up government. Tonight the Trump administration says they plan to appeal. that ruling, but it does leave millions of Americans who rely. on those SNAP benefits hanging in limbo. Meanwhile, at airports across the country, including right here at DCA, officials are bracing.

for even more cancellations tomorrow. So far, at least 700 flights have been canceled, but that number only expected to grow, David. We told us this was coming last night here and we've already. seen the effects tonight, Rachel Scott, live. in Washington. Thank you. We turned out to the stunning death of an NFL star, the. Dallas Cowboys, Marcian Nealand, was just 24. And just three nights ago, celebrating on. the field, scoring a touchdown on Monday night. football. Tonight here, his alarming. final hours before authorities say he took his own life.

Here's Will Reve. It was just three days ago on Monday Night. Football, 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive. end, Marcian Nealand, scoring a touchdown. Recovering a blocked punt in the end zone, celebrating. with his teammate. Tonight his story ending in tragedy. Authorities say he led police on a chase in Texas and was later. found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officials say Neal and fled from. a traffic stop shortly after 1030 last night, sparking a pursuit through the city of Frisco. Troopers losing sight of his vehicle, finding it minutes later crashed and abandoned on. Dallas Parkway. Officers launching a search for. Neal and using drones and a police canine, as. loved ones reportedly warned authorities of a. potential crisis unfolding. There's lots of other girlfriends. She's trying to call his agent, so we're trying to. get him to call, her to call him first, but she's saying he is armed and has a history. of mental illness.

And her quote was, "You will end it all.". About three hours later, authorities. finding Neelan's body. Neelan was a second-round pick out of Western Michigan in 2024. [CHEERING]. He had been open about his struggles over. the loss of his mother, who had dreamed her son would. make it to the NFL, but died suddenly just two months. before he was drafted. "It was tough. It still is. I still like, you know, go through it from time to time.". Nieland kept his mother's memory close every day, wearing. a necklace holding her ashes.

"This right here, man. Got her ashes. You can zoom in on that, her birthday. It's so nice, man.". David, no word yet from authorities as to why. Nieland was allegedly fleeing that traffic. stop. And tonight if you or someone you love is suffering. from thoughts of suicide, you can call or text the. National Lifeline at 988. David really just an awful story. Will Reef tonight. Thank you. Will there are horrific new images tonight. of the deadly plane crash in Louisville. And we have now learned that they are still. searching for nine people at this hour.

Matt Rivers in Louisville. Tonight 48 hours after UPS flight 2976 lost its left. of the engine crashed and exploded. Investigators from multiple federal agencies. are combing the half mile long debris field for clues, and searching for nine people still missing. - We found multiple pieces of engine fan blades, along with the main component of the engine. of the number one engine, which is on the left side. of the aircraft. - The NTSB says they successfully extracted the data.

from the charred flight data and cockpit voice recorders. And preliminary flight data shows the plane was 450 feet off. the ground and going 210 miles an hour when it crashed. And they're pouring over the multiple videos that show. the plane and the explosion. Watch this dashcam video closely as the plane screams. past. You can clearly see the plane's right engine intact.

But the other two engines are gone. Experts say it's possible that when the left engine. fell off it took out the plane's center engine. leaving the plane without enough power to get airborne. At least 13 dead and at least 9 still missing. Did everybody make it out? No. What do you mean? No! Sean Garber says at least three. workers were trapped inside his scrap metal recycling facility. Two of the ladies were in their mid-30s. One of them unfortunately, fortunately at the time,

but now it was pregnant. One of them was pregnant? Yes. And late today, UPS identifying. the three crew members who died on that flight. Captain Richard Wartonberg, first officer Lee Truitt, an. international relief officer Captain Dana Diamond. David UPS saying it extends its deepest sympathies. to family members and to the Louisville community, members of the community gathering tonight at a vigil to. remember those lost in the crash that investigators are.

still trying to understand. >> I'm sorry, Matt Rivers live in Louisville. Thank you, Matt. Tonight, to the case of the first grade teacher. shot by a six-year-old, she argued the school. ignored warnings. And tonight here, the jury's decision. Here's Pierre Thomas. >> Tonight, a Virginia jury finding. that an assistant principal failed. to protect a first grade teacher was shot by a. six-year-old in her class. >> We the jury, on the issues joined, find a favor of the plaintiff Abigail's Werner and assess. her damages at $10 million.

It's a case that shocked the nation. The civil trial revealing for the first time those searing. images of Abby's or Werner being raised to a hospital with a. bullet inches from her heart. A bullet that remains inside her today too dangerous to remove. So Werner in a dramatic moment taking the stand. I thought I had died. I thought I was either on my way to heaven or in heaven. A jury of three men and four women agreeing with. the teacher's attorneys to the assistant.

principal, Ebony Parker, ignored repeated warnings. that the child who had a history of disruptive behavior. had brought a gun to school. Dr. Parker's job is safety. A gun changes everything you stop and you investigate. David, the legal fight over what took place. that day is not over. The assistant principal also faces a criminal trial set. to begin in just a few weeks. David. Here, Thomas, on this again. tonight, thank you, Pierre. There is major news tonight involving those popular and.

expensive weight loss drugs. President Trump striking a deal to lower the cost. Here's Mary Bruce. President Trump tonight announcing a deal. with pharmaceutical companies to drastically. lower the prices of wildly popular weight-loss drugs. would go via Zepound, making them available. to millions of Americans who right now can't. afford them, including many seniors on Medicare. "It's a triumph for American patients that. will save lives and improve the health of millions.

and millions of Americans. These drugs, known as GLP-1s, now cost more than $500 a month. for people without insurance. Under Trump's new plan, starting in early next year, that price. would fall to $350 a month and down to $250 within. the next two years. The drugs will also soon be covered for Medicare. patients with severe obesity, though not for. everyone who is simply overweight. "Compays for Medicare patients will be as low as $50.

This is tremendous savings.". In qualifying patients on Medicaid could end up. paying virtually nothing. "And you can guarantee the American people that once these. costs go down, they're going to stay down.". "They need the other manufacturing issues that. can drive prices up and down. But I feel very confident that now we've set the standard. I don't think future administrations. were very on that. And David Dr. Oz was also involved in a scary moment. here in the Oval Office. Just as this announcement was going on, an. attendee collapsing. Dr. Oz and others then rushing in to help.

Tonight we are told the man a guest of one of. the drug companies is doing great and that. there's nothing to be concerned about. David. That's reassuring, Mary. Thanks. Tonight we're tracking. bitter cold moving in. Let's get right to leak over from WABC back with us tonight. I'm going to be back in the. I'm going to be back in the. I'm going to be back in the I'm going to be back in the. I'm going to be back in the I'm going to be back in the.

I'm going to be back in the I'm going to be back in the. 25 quarter, 28 in Atlanta could be record chill. The good news is this is a quick. winter shock to the system and we bounce back with. the temperatures midweek. David. The Goldberg Lee. Thank you. Now to the end of a political era after nearly 40. years in Congress, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the first woman speaker, revealing her plans to retire. The former speaker made history. She says she will not run for reelection next. year. She first took the speaker's gavel in 2007. She once said the power of the speaker is, quote, "awesome.". And it messaged to supporters today, Pelosi, saying, "We have made history.

We have made progress.". Former president Biden, Obama, and Secretary Hillary Clinton. all celebrating Pelosi's long career in public service. Former Republican speaker Paul Ryan also saying Pelosi, quote, "blazed a trail for female lawmakers.". When we come back tonight, the horrific shooting police say. the victim a cleaning woman was shot through the front door when. she went to the wrong address.

To the index, the dramatic showdown of the Miss. Universe pageant outraged contestants walking. out after a pageant director scolded Miss Mexico. humiliating her, accusing her of not participating. in promotional activities on social media, then calling. security to remove her from the room. That official later apologizing. When we come back here tonight, America's strong,

our Deborah Roberts is here. What she reveals about her own family, her sisters are all here. in a moment. ABC World News Tonight with David. Mjorn, sponsored by Inspire, no mask, no. hose, just sleep. Funny tonight here, America's Strong, Debra. Roberts on the bond between sisters. Amazing great how sweet the sound. It's been a personal journey for.

Deborah Roberts exploring the bond between sisters. for four surviving sisters right there with her. Deborah I gathered growing up. you couldn't even put your finger on the power. of the sisterhood. I never could, but it has been so powerful. And having my sisters get a chance to share in this. celebration of sisterhood. I saw them in the room with you here in New York City. I could see them beaming in your celebration of the sisterhood. Because it was their celebration too.

I mean, this book was really inspired by my connection. with them over the years. And I felt like it was fraying a little bit. I think all of us felt that. We've lost some siblings, one sister to mental. illness and alcohol abuse. And we hadn't really talked about that. And now we finally did. Her husband, Elle Roker, is capturing the moment. And it's not just Deborah and her sisters. She interviewed so many others about their sisters too, our friend Robin Roberts. And she has a powerful sister, but too. And Sally Ann, who literally saved her life.

We all know Robin and we know she's got. sisters who got her back. I don't want to hear from those two. So they agreed to sit down and talk to me. And when they popped up in the Zoom room, who turns up with them, but baby sister Robin, right in the background, she wanted to share in that moment. with them, but also to be careful to see. what they would say. - What do you gonna say about me? - What are you gonna say? - And it was during their conversation with Deborah. that Robin shared the moment. She told her sister, Sally Ann, that she was a bone. marrow match for Robin. - I called her and I said, sister, you're a match.

Do you want to do this? Without hesitation, she said, "Not only do I want to do this, sister, I believe I was born.". Mm-hmm. "To do this through the roof.". And she came through it. And after you see your sister. going through something of that nature, it causes you to realize the value. and the preciousness of life and that we don't. take time for granted. and Dorothy, who is a rock.

- For me, I feel that my sisters always have my back. And that's what I look like. - And Deborah talked with Michael Strahan's. twin daughters too about their bond after Isabella. survived a brain tumor. - Isabella and her brave reapered her courage. She couldn't do it without her sister. - Isabella and Sophia just really touched my heart. in a way that I didn't expect. Sophia on the left on being there for her twin sister. I think it really changed the dynamic of our relationship.

because it was a lot of me supporting her. and being there for her, which is not something. I've had to do before. But it was really important to me and it was so scary. Over the course of their conversation, Tears. Isabella, a brave survivor, but she still misses. the simplest things about being a twin. We don't even look the same anymore. It's a little sad to me. - But this journey together has made them stronger. - I think it's really just brought us a lot closer. - We still get invites now because she's like,

"You're fine now.". (laughing). - And back on that balcony that perched over New York City. where Deborah and I do 2020 together, one more thing about Deborah's sisters. - Your sisters have agreed to let me borrow you. on 2020 as my sister. - May I have a little bit of that? - 'Cause I know you've got my back. An honorary sister, that's right, an honorary brother in. this case, but they are happy to have you in the fold. Happy to be part of the fold. Sisters across the country tonight, I'm sure, can. relate to all of this. Deborah's book, Sisters Loved and Treasureed Stories of.

Unbreakable Bonds, is out now. I love meeting dead sisters too. I'm David Muir from all of us here. Have a good evening, good night. David Moore, the most watched newscast in America. And now, ABC's World News Tonight has won the Emmy for. Best Live News Program for the third year in a row.
