00:00Tonight, breaking news, the images coming in, the earthquake rattling the Los Angeles

00:04area.

00:05You'll see the images.

00:06Also late today, the new tropical storm that has just formed now in the Atlantic.

00:10And the dramatic shift in the race for the White House, what new polls are now showing

00:13tonight in some key battlegrounds.

00:16First tonight, the earthquake hitting just a few miles north of Los Angeles.

00:19We have a bit of an earthquake here in Los Angeles.

00:22ESPN's NBA Today crew live on the air when the shaking started.

00:27Students evacuated on the first day of school.

00:29It's now being warned about potential aftershocks.

00:33Also just in, it is now officially Tropical Storm Ernesto in the Atlantic.

00:37The potential track of this and when it could become a hurricane, Ginger Z is standing by

00:42with the track.

00:43The race for the White House tonight and the new polls this evening in some key battlegrounds

00:47showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.

00:53Vice President Harris drawing major crowds, 15,000 turning out in Detroit, about 15,000

00:58in Phoenix.

00:59And tonight, Donald Trump now falsely claiming that the images of the crowds you see at Kamala

01:04Harris events are generated by artificial intelligence.

01:07And tonight, the idea Trump says Harris stole from him.

01:11Also at this hour, Israel on high alert, the U.S. moving a guided missile submarine into

01:16the region.

01:17Iran doubling down on its threat to retaliate against Israel.

01:20The war in Ukraine tonight and for the first time, President Zelensky confirming a Ukrainian

01:25military offensive is underway some 18 miles inside Russia tonight, Vladimir Putin calling

01:31in reinforcements.

01:32What we've now learned after that passenger jet plunged 17,000 feet from the sky.

01:38The medical breakthrough tonight for the millions who suffer from food allergies or allergic

01:42to bee stings.

01:43For the first time, the FDA approving a nasal spray now instead of a shot.

01:49And what do Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett and Kelly Ripa all have in common?

01:54The Disney honor, the tears and the laughter tonight from ABC News World Headquarters in

02:03New York.

02:04This is World News Tonight with David Muir.

02:09Good evening.

02:10It is great to be back with all of you at home.

02:11We have several developing headlines at this hour.

02:13The new tropical storm that has just formed in the Atlantic tonight.

02:16Also the dramatic shift in the race for the White House, the new polls and some key battlegrounds.

02:20And we'll show you.

02:21But we do begin tonight with the earthquake rocking Los Angeles, the four point four quake

02:25just north of downtown L.A.

02:27Tonight, authorities warning millions to be prepared for aftershocks.

02:30And this was the moment on ESPN's NBA Today.

02:33They were actually live on the air as we have a bit of an earthquake here in Los Angeles.

02:38So we're just going to make sure that our studio lights, everything stays safe, everything

02:41they were live from their Los Angeles studio when the quake struck anchor Malika Andrews

02:45paused to see if everyone was safe.

02:47They're handling it very well.

02:48Police at Wilson High School evacuated to the athletic field today was the first day

02:52of classes for the L.A. schools, the country's second largest school system, a broken pipe

02:57at Pasadena City Hall, sending water cascading down.

02:59And of course, tonight, that concern for possible aftershocks.

03:02Now, ABC's Melissa Adan leading us off.

03:04She's in Pasadena tonight.

03:07Tonight, millions bracing for aftershocks.

03:16After a significant earthquake rattled Southern California, the magnitude four point four

03:24quake centered under the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles around 1220 p.m. local time.

03:30And it was felt all over L.A.

03:32It was a jolt.

03:34And then the building just started to shake violently as we have a bit of an earthquake

03:39here in Los Angeles.

03:40And that moment when ESPN's Malika Andrews was on the air talking basketball to me, that's

03:45an earthquake.

03:46That's an earthquake.

03:47Whoa, whoa.

03:48That is a real one, guys.

03:50The radio studio also broadcasting live.

03:53How big was that one?

03:55The scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey ducking for cover themselves.

03:59This is my first quake in seismology.

04:01It's a pretty good jolt.

04:03Nothing was knocked over, but I think almost everybody felt it.

04:06The quake bursting a pipe near the top of Pasadena City Hall, where someone was briefly

04:11stuck in an elevator.

04:13Our crews discovered that a sprinkler head at the very top of the rotunda, actually the

04:19piping broke, causing a water flow.

04:23Authorities evacuating students out of this middle school on the first day of school for

04:26many LASD students.

04:29The L.A. Fire Department activating earthquake mode, fanning out into neighborhoods all over

04:33the city, inspecting for damage.

04:36David, so far no substantial reports of any significant damage or injuries.

04:40Authorities now, the city of L.A. and L.A. County officials are monitoring and watching

04:45for any possible aftershocks.

04:46David?

04:47All right, Melissa Adan in Pasadena for us tonight.

04:49Melissa, thank you.

04:50And of course, from the earthquake to this new tropical threat in the Atlantic at this

04:53hour, it is now officially Tropical Storm Ernesto forming late today, warnings tonight

04:57for Puerto Rico and other islands.

04:59Let's get right to Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee back with us on a Monday night with a

05:02potential track of this and when it could become a hurricane.

05:04Hey, Ginger.

05:05Hey, David.

05:07Hey, David.

05:08Ernesto formed about 10 days before the average fifth named storm of the season, but it's

05:12still more than 900 miles to the east southeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

05:17But it's moving fast west at 28 miles per hour.

05:20This group of thunderstorms that is now Ernesto is going to get to that lesser until he's

05:24pretty quickly the northern part of it, at least.

05:26Tropical storm warnings include Puerto Rico, St. Martin, St. Vincent.

05:29We're talking about three to six inches of rain widespread and up to 10 locally.

05:34Then we'll turn the path to the north.

05:36And it's by Thursday that we see it becoming a hurricane, at least by then.

05:39It could happen a little earlier than that and then takes a track toward Bermuda as we

05:42get into the weekend.

05:43So that'd be Saturday afternoon.

05:45That path is wide, but it still stays east of the United States, mostly because of that

05:50trough.

05:51So these steering factors are going to help keep it away.

05:52We will, however, David, going through the weekend, have big rip currents and high surf.

05:56OK, Ginger Zee, we love seeing this spaghetti model well off the east coast.

06:00Let's hope it stays there.

06:01Ginger, thank you.

06:02We see the wind there tonight as well.

06:03In the meantime, we turn to the race for the White House tonight, just 85 days until

06:06Election Day, one week now until the Democratic National Convention.

06:10And tonight, new polls and some key battlegrounds showing a dramatic shift in the race.

06:14Vice President Kamala Harris now ahead of Donald Trump in three key states, Pennsylvania,

06:18Michigan and Wisconsin, 50 to 46 within the margin of error.

06:22The vice president drawing major crowds among the battleground stops, 15,000 turning out

06:26in Detroit, about 15,000 in Phoenix, too.

06:30Tonight, Donald Trump now falsely claiming that some of the images of those crowds are

06:34being generated by artificial intelligence.

06:37Here's ABC senior White House correspondent Celina Wang.

06:40Tonight, new battleground polling shows a radically changed race for the White House

06:46with 85 days to go.

06:48Vice President Kamala Harris now leading former President Donald Trump in three crucial Rust

06:53Belt states, states where Trump and President Biden were virtually tied with Trump having

06:59the edge.

07:00Now, in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Harris leading Trump among likely voters 50

07:06to 46 percent within the margin of error.

07:10Harris and running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz fresh off their first week together

07:15blitzing the battlegrounds.

07:17We have the momentum and I know exactly what we are up against.

07:24Her campaign blasting Trump for not doing the same, saying Vice President Harris is

07:29the only candidate out on the campaign trail in swing states fighting to win this election.

07:34OK, by us.

07:42That new polling also showing enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket has skyrocketed since

07:48Harris became the nominee.

07:50Supporters showing up by the thousands to Harris walls rallies.

07:53The campaign says 14000 people attended the rally in Philadelphia, while at least 15000

07:59were in the crowds in Phoenix and Detroit.

08:02Trump now falsely suggesting this image of the crowd in Detroit was produced by artificial

08:07intelligence posting on social media.

08:11Has anyone noticed that Kamala cheated at the airport?

08:14There was nobody at the plane and she ate it and showed a massive crowd of so-called

08:19followers, but they didn't exist.

08:22It's just not true.

08:23Video and images from these events clearly show the crowds the Harris campaign is reporting.

08:29And while Harris's campaign says they've been in the battlegrounds, Donald Trump sitting

08:33down with Elon Musk for a conversation on X, formerly known as Twitter.

08:38The live stream delayed, Musk said, due to a cyber attack.

08:43Trump commenting on the million plus users listening.

08:45We have to consider it an honor, but congratulations on breaking every record in the book tonight.

08:51Trump going after Harris for vowing to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality

08:57workers, an idea he first proposed.

09:00Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips.

09:06People making tips.

09:08The former president accusing Harris of copying his idea, saying this was a Trump idea.

09:13She has no ideas.

09:14She can only steal from me.

09:16Vice President Harris taking it a step further, saying not only should taxes on tips be eliminated,

09:22but the minimum wage should be raised, too.

09:25When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including

09:37to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.

09:46It's going to be a key economic issue moving forward.

09:50Let's bring in Selena Wang at the White House tonight, Selena.

09:52We're now just one week away from the Democratic National Convention, of course, kicks off

09:56next Monday in Chicago.

09:57What do we know about who will speak at the convention?

09:59Well, David, the Harris campaign is hoping to ride this momentum all the way to the convention.

10:05Sources say that former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and former Secretary of

10:09State Hillary Clinton are expected to speak there, as well as President Biden.

10:14And today, the White House saying that President Biden is looking forward to the convention

10:17and talking directly to the American people about the stakes of this election.

10:22David.

10:23Selena Wang at the White House for us.

10:24Selena, thank you.

10:25ABC News, of course, will cover the Democratic Convention in Chicago next week, beginning

10:28Monday in primetime on ABC News Live and right here on the network.

10:32We do have one more campaign note tonight.

10:33The FBI now saying it is investigating alleged hack of Trump campaign emails.

10:38The Trump campaign has said they were hacked by, quote, foreign sources with the intent

10:42to interfere in the upcoming election.

10:44Microsoft confirming a group run by Iranian intelligence hacked the email account of a

10:48former senior adviser of a presidential campaign.

10:51Microsoft did not identify the specific campaign.

10:54Sources now tell ABC News the Biden Harris campaign was also targeted as well.

10:59Overseas tonight, Israel is on high alert, bracing for an attack that could soon come.

11:04Iran doubling down on its threat to retaliate against Israel, the U.S. moving a guided missile

11:08submarine into the region, a rare announcement of the location of a U.S. submarine.

11:13ABC's Tom Sufi Burrage in Tel Aviv tonight.

11:17Tonight an attack from Iran or its proxies on Israel now expected this week, say U.S.

11:23officials.

11:24Those officials cautiously optimistic Iran will limit the scope of its actions to avoid

11:28significant escalation.

11:30With the White House saying it has to be prepared for what could be a, quote, significant

11:35set of attacks.

11:38Iran and Hezbollah doubling down on their threats to retaliate for two high profile

11:42assassinations in Tehran and Beirut.

11:46The IDF now on high alert as the U.S. moves more military assets to the Middle East, revealing

11:51a guided missile submarine whose location is normally top secret is heading to the region.

11:57What we're focused on is continuing to deescalate diplomatically.

12:03Our hope and our intent is for to make sure that an attack doesn't happen.

12:09Overnight Hezbollah probing Israeli defenses, firing dozens of rockets into northern Israel,

12:14most of them intercepted by the Iron Dome.

12:18Israeli blood banks and fortified underground hospitals preparing for an attack.

12:22It comes as Hamas, another ally of Iran, signals it won't enter into a new round of

12:27Gaza ceasefire and hostage talks because it says it already accepted a deal weeks ago.

12:34And tonight, the IDF reacting to a Hamas claim that Hamas's own guards in two separate incidents

12:40shot and killed a hostage and seriously wounded two other people being held captive.

12:45The IDF saying it has no intelligence to refute or confirm Hamas's claims.

12:52And David, Israel has banned all its air force pilots from leaving the country.

12:56The IDF still not issuing emergency guidelines for civilians.

12:59And tonight, a U.S. official confirming the U.S. is sending back channel messages to Iran.

13:05David.

13:06Tom Sufi Burrage in Tel Aviv for us tonight.

13:08Tom, thank you.

13:09Now, the war in Ukraine.

13:10It's a night for the first time.

13:11President Zelensky now confirming that a Ukrainian military offensive is underway some 18 miles

13:17inside Russia.

13:19Thousands of Russians have been forced to evacuate and Vladimir Putin has been forced

13:22to call in reinforcements.

13:24Here's our chief foreign correspondent, Ian panel tonight.

13:27Tonight, the surprise Ukrainian offensive inside Russia expanding into another region.

13:34Video circulating online showing troops raising the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine in occupied

13:39villages.

13:40The commander in chief of Ukrainian forces tonight claiming they've taken around 380

13:44square miles of Russian territory.

13:47Some estimate they could be as deep as 18 miles inside Russia.

13:52Thousands of Ukrainian troops are believed to have crossed into two border areas in the

13:56last week around Kursk and now Belgorod, two places used to launch attacks on Ukraine.

14:04This is the moment a Ukrainian missile came crashing down in Kursk after being intercepted,

14:09seen in video online.

14:10Fierce firefights have been reported as Russia urgently sends in defensive units attacking

14:15with drones and aircraft.

14:18Over 100,000 residents forced to flee their homes in a mirror image of the Russian occupation

14:23of Ukrainian towns and villages.

14:27President Zelensky confirming the operation which has been shrouded in secrecy.

14:31Today, a rattle Putin holding an emergency meeting, ordering the defense ministry to

14:37push to kick the enemy out of our territory.

14:40Facts are few, but this is the biggest occupation of Russian territory by a foreign army since

14:45the Second World War.

14:47Russia claiming American and NATO military equipment is being used, which would be a

14:51potential breach of agreements, but no evidence is being offered.

14:56David, Vladimir Putin claims that Ukraine is trying to improve its negotiating position

15:01in any future talks.

15:02In other words, trying to swap land for land.

15:05But it's an embarrassing blow for the Kremlin and I think two key questions tonight.

15:09One, how far can Ukraine go?

15:11How much territory can it take?

15:12And two, can it hold on to it?

15:15We're watching this closely.

15:16Ian Pannel with us tonight.

15:17Thank you, Ian.

15:18Now to the investigation of that deadly passenger plane plunging and crashing in Brazil.

15:22They have now recovered the black boxes and engines.

15:25The dramatic video you'll remember capturing the final moments, the twin engine turboprop

15:28plane spinning, falling 17,000 feet in just one minute.

15:33All 62 passengers and crew on board were killed.

15:35Officials say the pilots did not call for help.

15:38In Greece tonight, a major wildfire just north of Athens is racing toward the capital, forcing

15:42mass evacuations.

15:44The fast-moving fire breaking out 24 hours ago, fueled by strong winds, more than 30,000

15:48people forced to leave their homes.

15:50Smoke darkening the sky over Athens' famous monuments with temperatures set to reach 100

15:54degrees.

15:55Extraordinary images.

15:56When we come back here tonight, the deadly house explosion, two dead.

16:00You'll see the images here.

16:01Also, the medical breakthrough tonight for millions who suffer from food allergies or

16:05bee sting allergies, the nasal spray now instead of a shot.

16:09And later tonight, what do Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett and Kelly Ripa all have in

16:12common?

16:13It was quite an honor, and you'll see it.

16:16Tonight authorities are investigating a gas leak blamed for a deadly house explosion just

16:19outside Baltimore.

16:20A homeowner and building contractor for Baltimore Gas and Electric already at the house.

16:25They were killed in the blast.

16:26That contractor was there for an electrical problem.

16:29Firefighters were on the way after reports of a gas leak.

16:31The house exploded, though, before they got there.

16:34When we come back here tonight, the FDA approving a new treatment for a potentially life-threatening

16:37allergy attack.

16:38A nasal spray now instead of a shot.

16:41And John Williams, Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett, Kelly Ripa.

16:44It was quite a night, and you'll see it.

16:48To the index, the FDA now approving the first needle-free drug to treat life-threatening

16:53allergic reactions to food or bee stings.

16:55A nasal spray called Nefi will help slow anaphylaxis.

16:58It should be available here in the U.S. within eight weeks, a welcome change.

17:03When we come back tonight, Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kelly Ripa.

17:07The big honor in a moment here.

17:11Finally tonight, the new Disney Legends.

17:14It was a star-studded event, this year's Disney Legends, 14 names you'll know, 14 legends

17:20known for their iconic work.

17:22Disney's CEO, Bob Iger.

17:24It's presented as a celebration of talent, a recognition of achievement, and above all

17:30else, a sincere expression of deep gratitude on our part.

17:36Here's Angela Bassett, honored.

17:38I am queen of the most powerful nation in the world.

17:43The queen of Wakanda.

17:44From day one, in my pursuit of a career as an actress, I have understood that I am a

17:53part of something greater than myself.

17:56Hollywood icon, Jamie Lee Curtis, honored, too.

17:59You are the legends, because without you, none of this is possible.

18:03The youngest recipient, Miley Cyrus, who got her start as Hannah Montana, crediting

18:07much of her success now to that famous alter ego.

18:10I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana, because she made Miley in so many

18:18ways.

18:19I see you.

18:20I see you.

18:25Trailblazers on screen and off, Avatar director James Cameron, composer John Williams now

19:03My mother came to talk to me.

19:05She told me never to let other people determine your future.

19:11That's your job.

19:14And I did.

19:15And after 34 years with Disney, from All My Children to waking up with her on live for

19:20more than 20 years, Kelly Ripa honored.

19:23OK, I know what you're thinking.
