7:01 am
stage. his father and brother right there with him. how he's following in his mother's footsteps right now. ♪ upon the ground and good morning e. america. we are covering several breaking stories right now. let's go to the courtroom in pretoria, south africa. there it is, no final verdicts yet in the oscar pistorius case, but as you pointed out, robin, he has already been cleared of murder. manslaughter still on the table. more on that in a moment but on this september 11th, a day to reflect. there is ground zero right now, a memorial, and there is the freedom tower, rebuilt and ready to open just next month, the moment of silence this morning at 8:46 a.m. eastern. >> we will bring that to you live. we also remember those lost at shanksville, pennsylvania, and, of course, the pentagon. the president will stand on the
7:02 am
white house lawn this morning as the tributes begin for all of the victims. america has been at war from the moment those planes hit 13 years ago and last night a new chapter. president obama presents his strategy to destroy the terror group isis in a prime time address to the nation. abc's jon karl starts off our team coverage from the white house. good morning. jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. the president is prepared for a significant escalation of u.s. military operations against the terrorist group isis including more troops going to the region and more air strikes in iraq and in syria. the president used his prime time address to tell the american public he does have a plan for taking on what many in his administration call the greatest terrorist threat since 9/11. >> america will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. this is a core principle of my presidency. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven.
7:03 am
our objective is clear, we will degrade and ultimately destroy isil. >> his plan includes sending an additional 475 u.s. troops to iraq to train and advise iraqi security forces that are battling isis. training moderate syrian rebels battling isis in syria and expanding u.s. air strikes in iraq, eventually including air strikes in syria, too. the president also reiterated what he won't do, no u.s. boots on the ground. >> these american forces will not have a combat mission. we will not get dragged into another ground war in iraq. >> reporter: but the number of u.s. troops in iraq advising iraqis and providing security to american diplomats has been steadily rising. there will soon be a total of more than 1600 u.s. troops serving in iraq. the president said that he would welcome a show of support from congress, but that he does not need authority from congress to conduct air strikes in iraq or
7:04 am
in syria, but, george, there is one thing he does need from congress, he needs them to vote to give him authority to train those so-called moderate rebels in syria. >> that could come as early as next week. jon, thanks. for mon the president's strategy from abc's martha raddatz also in washington. and, martha, as jon pointed out, very, very clear that air strikes are coming in syria. what exactly would trigger that escalation? >> reporter: george, if they find an isis leader or the executioners of james foley or steven sotloff, i think you would see an air strike immediately in syria. for the larger campaign it will be when they have solid targets based on surveillance and intelligence and that will probably be a while. in the meantime, the air strikes as jon said will expand in iraq but to give a little perspective so far in a month, a little over 150 air strikes in iraq back in "desert storm" there were about 2,000 sorties a day. >> reporter: martha, after some
7:05 am
conflicting early messages, the president repeated several times the goal is to defeat isis. but what would that look like? >> reporter: in iraq it would mean removing isis as a threat and having a stable inclusive government. in syria, a much tougher end state because even if you defeated isis there, you would still end up with an unstable government with assad in charge and a country that has become a magnet for islamic extremists. either way, this is going to take a very long time, george. >> beyond the obama presidency, thanks very much. on this 9/11 anniversary there is heightened concern about a terrorist attack in the u.s. abc's pierre thomas is in washington with more on that front. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. on this day of 9/11, the country is facing a multitude of threat, a wish's brew. have you bombmakers from yemen con vernging with al qaeda fighters in syria trying to make explosives smuggled on to planes and possibility of lone wolves not tied to any group that could attack at any time and of course
7:06 am
this new emerging threat from isis, new york city's police commissioner says this is the most dangerous moment in recent years and he cited isis as a major reason, george. >> pierre, on that isis threat both the president and his advisers on capitol hill yesterday made it very clear there is no specific credible threat from isis to the homeland right now. >> reporter: no specific threat has been identified but know at least 100 americans have gone to syria or tried to go. they're dealing with that. and because isis is so good at using social media to lure people to their cause, there's growing concern that isis could convince people here at home to attack, george. robin. >> so we have got to be ready. thanks very much. >> so disturbing. now to that breaking news in the oscar pistorius trial. the judge's ruling on his murder trial right now clearing the former olympian of the two most serious charges against him but the judge has not read her verdict yet. abc's matt gutman has been inside the courtroom in south africa and, matt, the judge could still be -- or i should say --
7:07 am
that's right. >> reporter: the judge ruled out premeditated murder but culpable homicide like manslaughter on the table. the judge has shot holes through pistorius' claim of self-defense, the only thing clear this entire nation is laser focused on this very moment and perhaps this headline says it all. "judgment day for oscar." the crush intense as he arrived. pistorius looking tense. oscar, are you feeling confident today? how do you feel? towering family members forming a flying wedge to push him through the crowd. for six months the spotlight had been on pistorius, but this morning it blazed on the 66-year-old judge. she seemed to rule out premeditated murder as well as murder leaving only culpable homicide. >> just not enough to support such a finding. >> reporter: knocking down the prosecution's so-called earwitnesses who say they heard a woman scream that night.
7:08 am
>> the evidence of witnesses must be rejected merely because the witnesses failed to describe the events in exactly the same way. >> reporter: saying only one witness' testimony matter. >> reporter: the accused is the only one that can tell this court how the incident happened. >> reporter: back in the same mention he appeared to sob as the judge recounted the bloody scene in his bathroom. pistorius claimed he never intended to pull the trigger. the judge didn't buy it. >> the accused clearly wanted to use the firearm and the only way he could have used it was to shoot at the perceived danger. >> reporter: meaning he meant to shoot. reeva steenkamp's parents looking stonefaced. now, pistorius also faces three other gun-related charges but if he is convicted of that manslaughter charge he could face 15 years in jail. of course, the judge does have the discretion to give him no prison time. we're also told that if he is convicted of virtually anything
7:09 am
pistorius will appeal. >> thanks. let's talk to dan abrams about this. the judge reached at least one conclusion, oscar pistorius was a bad witness but not a murderer. >> right, a huge win for oscar pistorius. i mean when you look at the facts in this case that he shot her in his own home behind a locked door, this is a big win for oscar pistorius. it also does seem from the judge's language that it's almost certain that she's going to convict him of the lesser crime of culpable homicide so in theory there could still be a stiff sentence here. >> let's explain it, the equivalent of what would be manslaughter in the u.s. >> that's right, a sort of negligent killing in this case, incredibly negligent almost reckless killing had this particular case. but as matt points out no minimum sentence there. so the judge is going to have a lot of discretion here on sentencing. that's what it's all going to come down to. once the murder is off the table the question becomes what's the sentence and the evidence against him in the ammunition charge and the weapons charge,
7:10 am
very, very strong and you're talking about the possibility of up to 25 years just on those charges combined so there's still a lot to come but no matter how you look at it, no matter what the sentence is here, the fact that murder is off the table and the possibility of a mandatory life sentence, that's a big win for oscar pistorius. >> and the judge will continue reading this morning. okay, dan, thanks very much. now to that ray rice scandal and more trouble for the nfl this morning. the league announcing former fbi director robert mueller will lead an independent investigation into what happened. this after the associated press reported the league had a copy of that shocking video from inside the elevator five months ago. abc's ryan smith has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, abc news has learned that the nfl has hired former fbi director robert mueller to conduct an independent investigation. the goal, to find out what the nfl knew and when did they know it. overnight a law enforcement source telling the associated press he sent a copy of the video to the league in april.
7:11 am
even playing them a voice mail he reportedly received from an nfl office phone number confirming the video's arrival with a woman's voice saying "you're right, it's terrible." the nfl responding telling abc news "we are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. we will look into it." goodell previously insisting to cbs he hasn't seen the video until monday. >> we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. >> reporter: and this morning, new details emerging about what happened between ray and janay rice moments after the assault. a hotel security staffer on duty the night of the attack telling espn -- >> when he exited the elevator his first words were, she's intoxicated. she drank too much. i have to get her to the room. when janay palmer first regained consciousness she said how could you do this to me? i'm the mother of your kid. >> reporter: the staffer also said rice spit on janay twice
7:12 am
before striking her. after she regained consciousness rice dialed someone on his phone saying "i'm getting arrested tonight." rice's defense attorney michael diamondsteen declined to comment but police documents obtained show the severity of the attack was clearly soon after the assault with police stating rice struck her with his hand rendering her unconscious. we asked the nfl if they saw these police documents. they didn't respond directly instead saying in part domestic violence has no place in the nfl. meanwhile, the national organization for women yesterday calling for goodell's resignation saying the nfl lost its way and need brand-new leadership and they declined to comment there, robin. >> going to get the other top stories from amy. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with new details about that credit card data breach at home depot. the largest ever, experts now predicting up to $2 billion in
7:13 am
bogus charges will be made after an estimated 60 million accounts were compromised. about 15% of those card numbers stolen at home depot locations have already been used or will likely be used. and breaking overnight tough new talk from russian president vladimir putin. he has a combat readiness drill after accusing the west of using the crisis in ukraine as an excuse to build up nato forces. wednesday russia test-fired a powerful nuclear missile. in another show of power he has started to reduce gas supplies to germany and poland. well, a new storm has erupted on the sun and could disrupt satellites and radio transmissions. the extreme solar flare is sending energized particles hurtling towards earth at 2 million miles per hour. the good news, most dangerous particles, well, this he's expected to pass right by us. and new violence in ferguson, missouri, people protesting last month's police shooting of michael brown. tried to block an interstate
7:14 am
highway throwing rocks and bottles at police. in total 35 people were arrested. some frightening moments in las vegas. a truck came crashing through the front doors of this stratosphere hotel and police say the driver got out and started swinging at people. he is in custody and no one was injured. finally a new contestant for "dancing with the stars," well, we'll see what you think. check out this bear cub busting a move on a vancouver golf course with his slightly stiff partner. yes, that's a flagstick on the 15th hole. look at that. he's really good. >> ah, that's adorable. >> his approach to pole dancing. he later decided to pick up a player ball and drop it further away from the hole. a little menacing, as well, a funny guy. he walked away and saw mama. >> i saw the little ones watching. you do it, you do it. thank you, amy. >> they double dog dared him. to the health emergency sending thousands of children across the country to the emergency room. the rare virus is suspected in
7:15 am
at least 12 states this morning and abc's dr. richard besser is at st. louis children's hospital which has been hit hard by the illness. good morning, rich. >> good morning, robin. i'm at st. louis children's hospital which is at the e epicenter of a large and rapidly spreading viral outbreak hitting kids across the country. the doctors here tell me they've never seen anything quite like this one. 2-year-old cameron and his mom checked into the er after he was struggling to catch his breath. >> we called the doctors monday and because he was having labored breathing and wheezing so bad they said had take him to the er. >> reporter: 3-year-old penelope admitted with similar symptoms. >> you can hardly tell she's sick. >> reporter: they are among the hundreds of children with respiratory illness who flooded the er within the past two weeks. >> pretty rare in the summertime or fall to see this many sick children. >> reporter: the illness is under investigation in at least 12 states for ten terovirus 68
7:16 am
which has been rarely reported since discovered more than 50 years ago. symptoms start out much like the common cold with sneezing, coughing and a runny nose but then turns serious. with difficulty breathing and wheezing. kids who already have asthma are hit the hardest. across the country the cdc is doing testing trying to figure out where this virus is now and where it may be heading. they tell me the best way to prevent this is good hand washing. robin. >> always something to keep in mind, rich. thank you very much. now we're going to head across the pond. >> indeed news on the royal family and the opening ceremonies of prince harry's invictus game, the competition he started to honor wounded warriors from around the world. prince william was there but one person noticeably absent and abc's bob woodruff has the story. ♪ >> reporter: for prince harry the mission has begun, last night, the opening ceremony for his invictus games, honoring 400 wounded service members from 13 countries. there he was with his father and
