01:58And tonight, Billy Joel and his brain diagnosis and what his wife has now revealed.
02:07From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight with David Muir.
02:14Good evening.
02:16It's great to be back with all of you at home after the Memorial Day holiday.
02:18We do begin tonight with this urgent search for a former police chief, a convicted murderer known as the devil of the Ozarks, who escaped from a high security prison in a makeshift uniform.
02:28He was serving a decades long sentence for murder and rape in Arkansas.
02:31Grant Harden slipped through a controlled gate in broad daylight.
02:34We're learning that law enforcement uniform he put together himself.
02:38Tonight, officials circulating this wanted poster of the 56-year-old former police chief.
02:42Residents have been told to be on high alert and to lock their doors.
02:46Authorities are closing roads, setting up checkpoints and searching the densely wooded area.
02:50And tonight, we've learned the search area is now widening.
02:53And what officials are now saying about where he could be.
02:56ABC's Faith Abubay leading us off tonight.
02:57She's in Calico Rock, Arkansas for us.
02:59Tonight, Arkansas residents on high alert as the urgent search for a former police chief turned escaped convict stretches into its third day.
03:09Grant Harden breaking out of an Arkansas prison this weekend.
03:12The 56-year-old was serving decades in prison for rape and murder.
03:17The Stone County Sheriff's Office releasing this photo, they say, shows Harden disguised in a makeshift officer's uniform as he took off from the prison through a controlled gate.
03:26It does look like it was handmade and manufactured in a lot of ways.
03:30And so we're trying to ascertain exactly what compiled that makeshift uniform and where he's able to get those materials.
03:39Tonight, authorities telling ABC News they're scouring the densely wooded area nearby, warning Harden, who has a law enforcement background, could be armed and dangerous.
03:48The sheriff closing roads, setting up checkpoints and telling the community to, quote, stay vigilant, lock your house and vehicle doors and report any suspicious activity immediately.
04:00Harden, known locally as the devil of the Ozarks, has been the subject of criminal docuseries.
04:05Police detectives who previously worked alongside him, shocked and devastated.
04:09There's evil in this world that will take advantage of an opportunity if they get it.
04:16And then here he was, 20 years later, sitting five feet away from me and I had no idea.
04:22The urgent manhunt for the former police chief comes at the same time as authorities are still looking for two of the 10 inmates
04:29who escaped in a separate brazen jailbreak in New Orleans.
04:33Everybody moves to the right side of the car.
04:35Authorities releasing this new body camera video of two of their most recent arrests now captured and back behind bars.
04:43Back in Arkansas, the manhunt intensifying tonight as residents remain on edge.
04:49So let's bring back in Faith Abube.
04:51She's live tonight in Arkansas on the scene of that search.
04:53And Faith, I know you just spoke with authorities.
04:55Where do they think he could be?
04:56Yeah, David, they believe he could be in the densely wooded areas around here, which is making the source even more difficult.
05:03A source telling me just moments ago they are following a strong lead nearby.
05:08Helicopters, ATVs, drones and canine officers all being utilized in this urgent manhunt.
05:14David.
05:14All right, Faith Abube leading us off here tonight.
05:16Faith, thank you.
05:17We turn now to the major headline involving COVID vaccines here in the U.S.
05:20and the changing guidelines tonight when it comes to pregnant women and children.
05:24And it's causing controversy.
05:25Health Secretary RFK Jr. bypassing the CDC, announcing these major changes.
05:30No longer recommending the vaccines for healthy pregnant women and healthy children.
05:35Kennedy's decision blindsiding many medical experts, the leading OBGYN association, saying tonight about this unexpected move.
05:41It is very clear that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic.
05:47Here's Rachel Scott.
05:48Tonight, in a significant change to CDC guidelines, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
05:55announcing the department will no longer recommend routine COVID shots for healthy children and pregnant women.
06:01I couldn't be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women
06:08has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.
06:14Kennedy, a noted vaccine skeptic, has questioned whether the COVID-19 vaccine was successful in saving millions of lives.
06:21Today, he was joined by other top health officials.
06:24There's no evidence healthy kids need it today.
06:26And most countries have stopped recommending it for children.
06:29But the move was quickly questioned by public health officials,
06:32accusing the Trump administration of bypassing the traditional independent review process,
06:37including recommendations from medical experts.
06:39We were kind of blindsided by this announcement.
06:41We were not consulted about this, Dr. Sean O'Leary with the American Academy of Pediatrics said,
06:47and the leading OB-GYN association, with this dire warning.
06:51It's very clear that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic.
06:56Tonight, the CDC's website still listing the COVID vaccine as recommended for everyone six months and older,
07:02including pregnant women.
07:03Doctors saying the new recommendations are unclear and remove a health care choice for families.
07:08This comes after the deadly measles outbreak across the country.
07:12Most of the cases involving children not vaccinated.
07:15Today, Nebraska, now the 32nd state to report a measles case, a rare breakthrough case in a child who was vaccinated.
07:22So far, more than 1,000 people have been infected with the virus since the start of this year.
07:28Three unvaccinated people, including two children, have died.
07:31So let's bring in Rachel Scott live at the White House tonight.
07:34Rachel, that's the news on COVID vaccines and these changing guidelines tonight.
07:37But I know you're also covering another developing headline at this hour from the administration.
07:41President Trump tonight pardoning two reality TV stars on fraud and tax evasion convictions.
07:47Yes, David.
07:48The president announced just moments ago that he will be granting full pardons to Julie and Todd Chrisley,
07:53two reality TV stars from the show Chrisley Knows Best.
07:57The couple was convicted of tax evasion and also defrauding banks out of more than $30 million by submitting false documents as they continue to live a luxurious life.
08:07The president says that pardon could be coming as soon as tomorrow, David.
08:11All right, Rachel Scott of the White House.
08:12Rachel, thank you.
08:13Tonight in New York City, news of a second arrest now in a very disturbing case.
08:17A cryptocurrency investor was allegedly held captive and brutally tortured for weeks in a New York City townhouse.
08:23Tonight here, what the suspects are accused of doing to that investor.
08:26Here's Stephanie Ramos.
08:29How was the hand in?
08:31Tonight, a second suspect surrendering to police let out in handcuffs in connection with that shocking and disturbing case of a cryptocurrency investor allegedly held captive
08:40and brutally tortured for weeks inside this luxury Manhattan townhouse.
08:45Why did you do it?
08:46Why did you do it?
08:47Who helped you?
08:4932-year-old crypto investor William Du Plessy touring himself in early this morning.
08:5337-year-old John Waltz, another crypto investor, was arrested Friday, brought out of that townhouse by police barefoot and in a bathrobe.
09:05Waltz charged with kidnapping, assault and criminal possession of a firearm.
09:09The alleged victim, a 28-year-old Italian national telling authorities his captors, took his passport, tied him up and demanded his Bitcoin password.
09:18When he refused, he says the suspects shocked him with electric wires, beat him with a firearm and dangled him over a ledge, threatening to kill him if he didn't share the password.
09:28After nearly three weeks, the victim says he agreed to give up his password, but was able to make a daring escape when the suspects went to retrieve his laptop.
09:37The victim, barefoot and bleeding, was able to flag down an officer nearby.
09:42David, the victim was hospitalized with wrist injuries consistent with being bound and cuts to his face.
09:48Waltz is scheduled back in court tomorrow and is being held without bail.
09:52Lawyers for both suspects are not commenting.
09:55Stephanie Ramos reporting tonight. Steph, thank you.
09:58We turn next tonight to the dramatic testimony at the trial of Sean Diddy Combs here in New York today.
10:02His former personal assistant taking the stand testifying that Combs showed up at her apartment with a gun and who she testified he said he was going to kill.
10:10Erin Katursky at the courthouse again tonight.
10:13A woman who worked for Sean Combs for years today testified he once kidnapped her at gunpoint on his way to attempt to kill a romantic rival.
10:20The hip-hop mogul had just found out his on-and-off girlfriend Cassie Ventura began dating rapper Kid Cuddy in late 2011 when his former assistant Capricorn Clark testified she woke to banging at her door and saw a very upset puff with a gun in his hand.
10:35Get dressed. We're going to kill Kid Cuddy, Clark recalled Combs telling her, but the rapper wasn't home at the time.
10:41Prosecutors are trying to prove Combs used kidnapping as part of a criminal enterprise, an allegation he has denied.
10:47Clark telling the jury Combs held her until Ventura agreed to see him.
10:51He told me to tell Cassie that he has me and he's not going to let me go.
10:55Another time, Clark testified one of Combs' bodyguards, known as Uncle Pauly, brought her to a dilapidated space at Bad Boy Entertainment
11:01where a very wide, very heavy, chain-smoking man subjected her to five days of lie detector tests
11:07after Combs suspected her of stealing jewelry he wore at one of his famous white parties in the Hamptons.
11:13If she flunked the test, she remembered the man telling her, they're going to throw you in the East River.
11:19Kidnapping is just one part of the alleged racketeering conspiracy.
11:22Tomorrow, David, federal prosecutors are expected to focus on another forced labor,
11:27calling a former employee who they allege was forced to perform sex acts with Sean Combs.
11:32David.
11:32Aaron Katursky at the courthouse tonight.
11:34Aaron, thank you.
11:35All eyes at a critical new launch tonight for Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship just a short time ago
11:40after the last two launches ended with explosions.
11:43Here's Gio Benitez.
11:44Tonight, after two recent attempts ended in explosions that sent debris raining down to Earth,
11:49a partial success for Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship program.
11:55Starship Mission 9, like the past ones, uncrewed.
11:58The Starship, powered by a rocket that the company says is the most powerful ever built.
12:03Even after a successful launch and suborbital flight, SpaceX ultimately losing control of Starship
12:10as it re-entered the atmosphere, the ship exploding.
12:13It's the ninth try for SpaceX.
12:15The last one in March ended in disaster.
12:17After multiple engines shut down, they lost contact with the spacecraft and it exploded.
12:22Flaming debris raining down on Florida and the Caribbean, visible to passengers on planes.
12:27Back in January, another failure when strong vibrations caused a fuel leak and another explosion.
12:33But in both cases, the giant reusable booster that carries the spaceship performed spectacularly,
12:39returning to the pad, caught by those giant chopsticks.
12:43And David, Elon Musk dreams of sending humans to Mars,
12:46and this successful launch could bring those dreams a little closer to reality.
12:52David.
12:52Gio Benitez tonight.
12:53Gio, thank you.
12:54Gio oversees tonight into the attempted murder charges now for a suspect accused of driving his van
12:58right into a crowd of soccer fans in Liverpool, England.
13:01Videos tonight, now police evidence showing a van slamming into people, swerving, hitting others.
13:06An outraged crowd then surging around the vehicle, smashing windows in anger.
13:10At least 65 people hurt, including children, when the suspect drove into the crowd.
13:14Police say the suspected driver had followed an ambulance that was responding to an emergency in that crowd
13:19before barreling into the crowd himself.
13:21Tonight here, the desperate images from Gaza, the urgent need there, and the chaos as the first aid reaches Gaza in three months.
13:28Children and families racing to get any food they could.
13:32Here's our chief international correspondent, James Longman, tonight.
13:34Desperate scenes in Gaza tonight, starving men, women and children scrambling for food at an aid distribution centre.
13:42A fight for survival at their first chance for basic necessities since Israel's total blockade started three months ago.
13:49The aid station overrun, thousands rushing in every direction.
13:53Warning shots fired to control the crowd.
13:55This child scraping flour off the ground.
13:58Miles and Yunus says he walked for miles and came home with only a can of peas to feed his family of ten.
14:04There was shooting and all hell broke loose.
14:06Its food dipped in blood.
14:07This is not working, he says.
14:09The centre is being run by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,
14:13an operation backed by the US and Israel, which employs private security companies with support from Israeli troops.
14:20The UN accuses Israel of weaponising aid as a means of displacement.
14:24They call for large-scale aid to be delivered directly to people, rather than forcing them to move in order to survive.
14:31David, the GHF claimed to have delivered 8,000 boxes of aid today,
14:35and they say they plan to open eight distribution centres like this across Gaza.
14:39But there are more than two million people in dire need of aid.
14:43And international aid organisations say this plan just won't be enough.
14:47David.
14:48All right, James Longman reporting in from London tonight.
14:50James, thank you.
14:51Britain's King Charles tonight in Canada giving a speech and supporting Canada's sovereignty
14:55in a rare address to the country's parliament, the first by a monarch in nearly 70 years.
15:00King Charles, who is Canada's official head of state, invited by the Canadian government,
15:03his visit coming amid President Trump's talk of making Canada the 51st state.
15:07King Charles saying, quote,
15:08the true north is indeed strong and free.
15:11I've always had the greatest admiration for Canada's unique identity,
15:17which is recognised across the world for bravery and sacrifice in defence of national values.
15:26The King and Queen then returning to the UK after that speech.
15:30Tonight, President Trump opening up a new line of attack on Harvard,

15:38The move threatens up to three billion in grants.
15:40The president saying he wants to redirect the money to trade schools,
15:43though he hasn't explained fully how that would work.

16:15The jet aborting takeoff.
16:16No one was hurt.
16:17To a flight here in the U.S.
16:19and two pigeons delaying the Delta flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Madison, Wisconsin.
16:23One pigeon taken off by baggage handlers, then the plane taxing for takeoff.
16:27And look at this, that other pigeon suddenly flying through the cabin,
16:30heading back to the gate.
16:31The air traffic control clearly in disbelief.
16:34He has any assistance.
16:36There's a pigeon on the airplane and it won't go away.
16:40That's a first for me.
16:41Wow.
16:42Just before the plane finally took off,
16:44flight attendants then told passengers to check for birds and pigeons under their seats.
16:49That's a new one.
16:50When we come back here tonight, the charge against Mary Lou Retton, also Billy Joel,
16:54his brain diagnosis, and what his wife has now revealed.

17:42When we come back tonight, remembering a legendary songwriter and guitarist, and you'll know his music.
17:49Finally tonight here, remembering singer and guitarist Rick Derringer.
17:53You'll know his music.
17:54He's a good friend of ours, Rick Derringer!
17:59Legendary guitarist and musician Rick Derringer, known for his unforgettable hits from the 60s and 70s.
18:10He had just turned 18, and he and his band, the McCoys, hit it big with Hang On, Sloopy.
18:15Hang on, Sloopy!
18:19Sloopy, hang on!
18:24Hang on, Sloopy!
18:27Sloopy, hang on!
18:29The song became an anthem at Ohio State football games.
18:32He was from Ohio.
18:33Hang on, Sloopy, hang on!

19:40This music takes you back, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow night.
19:49Good night.
