We begin with basketball, an amazing shot that was anything but a free throw. In fact, 10,000 was on the line when kansas universitys director of basketball operations sank that unbelievable half court shot. Kus sophomore jordan spears who says shes giving that 10,000 to her nana who raised her and her four siblings. Shes the first in the family to graduate high school and first to attend college, and she gives all credit to her grandmother. An unbelievable shot there, and an unbelievable story from that family. Congrats to that family. Up next, good things come to those who wait. And thats why jewels wedding was so incredibly special. The bride waited two years to healthy enough to walk her down the aisle after being badly burned in a welding accident. He was in the hospital for 51 weeks, temporary immobile, suffered two strokes and two heart attacks, but after extensive rehabilitation was able to give his daughter away at her wedding just last month. Jewel said her dad has always worked so hard in life, so no, it wasnt surprising to her that he worked so hard to see her as a bride. And, finally, id ask why, but looks like this little guy asked plenty of questions of his own 4monthold danny is the star of a viral Instagram Account called danny baby faces where some of his most animated expressions caught the attention of sites like the Huffington Post and daily mail. He has a Big Personality and elastic face that you see there he got from his dad. Goes to show some people are born comedians. Something tells me both of your mothers knows something about that, diane and kendis. Oh . How did you see our baby photos . So halloween is coming up. I know. And we need your costume suggestions.

Hear how residents called in a suspicious smell and how they were able to get out just in time. Later, were going under the sea to check out some of the most stunning gopro footage youll see. The video is all real. Today is wednesday, october 5th. From abc news, this is world news now. . Under the sea under the sea . We had under the sea and whale of a tale. A lot of lines in that little deal. We say good morning to you, everybody, on this wednesday, im kendis gibson. Im diane macedo, and we begin with the intense showdown between the Vice President ial nominees repeatedly talking over each other to fire off the best shot. Tim kaine used the debate to defend Hillary Clinton and launched an aggressive attack on donald trump. Mike pence remained unflappable outlining a conservative agenda, but avoiding defending some of trumps controversial comments. Lana zak has the details from farmville, virginia. Good morning. Reporter good morning, if you expected a genteel debate between two seasoned vitriol that we saw on stage here. Right out of the gate, the battle lines were drawn at the Vice President ial debate at Longwood University. You are trumps supremice. Isnt this a discussion . Reporter asked to defend his running mate on not paying taxes for nearly two decades. He went through a very difficult ti tax code how its supposed to be used. He did it brilliantly. How do you know that . Reporter the senator ready to pounce on the tax topic. He had to give donald trump his tax returns to show he was qualified to be Vice President. Donald trump must give the American Public his tax returns. Reporter but kaine was forced to defend his running mate Hillary Clinton, as well. We believe in comprehensive immigration reform, and trump believes in deportation nation. Reporter they often talked over each other. Im just saying facts about your running mate. And i know you cant defend him. Senator. Dont put words in my mouth. Reporter in a surprising turn, the republican pence seemed to praise president obama on terrorism before pledging he and trump would do more. I want to give this president credit for bringing Osama Bin Laden to justice. But the truth is, Osama Bin Laden led al qaeda. The primary threat today is isis. I thought mike pence did better on calmness. Pence actually deflected, but never really fundamentally defended donald trump. Reporter and that may end up working in his favor. We knew that tim kaine was going to be the attack dog from the Clinton Campaign headed into the debate, but to put it in perspective for you, diane and kendis, he used trumps name 165 times, and by comparison, pence used clintons name half that much. Yeah. They both actually used trumps name quite a bit. And youre there in the debate hall. The campaigns come out, did you get a sense how they felt after this debate . Reporter well, certainly. We saw Trumps Campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway making her way into the room right after feeling confident. Their team felt they won this debate. They were really excited to talk to us journalists and say they really felt like he hit it right out of the park. All right, abcs lana zak, thank you so much. Ahead of themselves last night by prematurely declaring the winner of the debate. The official gop website announced mike pence was the clear winner more than an hour before the debate even started. Oh. The site listed pences top debate moments as well. The page was then taken down, but pence was later declared the winner again this time after the debate. I wonder moments they cited the big question, of course, what does this debate mean for both campaigns . Abc political director rick klein joins us. Reporter diane and kendis, mike pence did not take the bait. Tim kaine trying to egg him on for a fight, just like Hillary Clinton did eight days ago, but mike pence much more disciplined, much more calm in his demeanor. And calmed nerves in republican circles going a long way towards that throughout the debate. Mike pence showing why donald the trump chose him as a running mate. In a lot of ways, the antitrump as the debater. And clearly tim kaine had a strait strategy. That strategy was to bait mike pence into a fight over Donald Trumps record. This was not a debate about issues. This was not a debate about the two men on stage. It was about the outside personalities of their running mates. Neither of the running mates spent a lot of time defending top of the ticket. And i think it was particularly notable in the way that tim kaine hit pence. Pence, though, in deflection started a new story line. Mike pence showed republicans that there is an answer, and starting some of the key arguments they hope to use against Hillary Clinton. Diane, kendis . Thanks, rick. Only a handful of days out from the next president ial debate. The second debate comoderated by our own Martha Raddatz with fu here on abc. And our other breaking news this morning is the march of Hurricane Matthew. As it spins northward, the storm leaves behind catastrophic damage in haiti. Runoff left behind huge piles of trash that had to be cleaned up and haitian officials call the aftermath of matthew the biggest humanitarian crisis in haiti since that countrys devastating 2010 earthquake. It delivered a foot of rain to eastern cuba. So far the storms blamed for at least 11 deaths. On the east coast is underway. Residents are urged to line up three days of food, water, and medications. So matthew right now is start to go spin away from cuba. Its now spinning towards the bahamas with winds of at least 130 Miles Per Hour. Were going to check the storms track in a moment. First, how americans are getting ready. Reporter from the florida keys to the carolina coast, worried residents are getting ready for the worst. If youre able to leave early and go today, do that. Dont take a chance. Reporter South Carolina governor nicki haley joining north carolina, georgia and florida calling for a state of emergency, ordering all costal residents to begin evacuating wherever you are on the coast, get a hundred miles away from that. This seems so big and its headed our way. Reporter officials warning prepare now before its too late. Right now, the message is be prepared for Tropical Storm force winds on thursday. Water for three days. All south florida is stocking up. Reporter residents in brawl brow ard county, florida, taking that warning serious ly crazy. All the water gone. The destruction could be catastrophic. And Everyone Needs to be prepared. Reporter at this home depot in florida, these tables set up for hurricane supplies now empty. In hollywood, cars lining up for gas and plywood. Matthew could be the biggest Mass Evacuation america has seen since floyd in 1999 with when 2 million residents in five states were ordered from their homes. The last hurricane to make landfall in florida was wilma in 2005. A lot of people moved to the state in those 11 years. And clearly, those people will be experiencing a hurricane for the first time. Those are the residents the authorities are worried about. Thank you. Lets get a sense of what to we get that from accuweathers paul williams. Good morning. Good morning. We track all the models, all in agreement marching across nassau. Thats the next path of matthew, skipping right along the east coast and causing problems there. But on the way there, its going to impact the bahamas with Power Outages, dangerous storm surges, damaging winds and that storm is going to affect the northeast with heavy rain, high winds and flooding saturday going into sunday, even all the way up towards boston. Other parts of the country, looking for the northwest corner, breezy and rainey conditions for washington, oregon, as well, and into portions of montana.

Coming up after the break, were going to have more on last nights first and only Vice President ial debate. Between the many interruptions, tim kaine and mike pence clashed on everything from terrorism to abortion, but a clear winner . And later in our next half hour, the scary clown craze thats ignited a national phenomenon. With clown sightings is more than two dozen states, what the white house is now saying. Youre watching world news now. World news now continues reagan said something proliferation back in the 1980s. He said the problem with Nuclear Proliferation is that some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event. I think thats who governor pences running mate is, who president reagan warned us about. Oh, come on. Senator, senator, that was even beneath you and Hillary Clinton. And thats pretty low. Well, that was one of the many intense exchanges last night during the only Vice President ial debate. And it was one that was more energetic than many expected. Yeah. They didnt seem to pull many punches. Thank you so much for being here, and what did you make of the candidates styles last night . Because they seemed very different. They were so different. Couldnt be more different. Mike pence was a calm choice and demeanor, and tim kaine came to fight. I think both of them were effective. Mike pences top of the ticket i i think he was trying to reassure voters who are not sold on donald trump that he is a steady, calm choice. Where tim kaine wanted to remind viewers of who was the top candidate on the ticket is, of the comments trump has made during the course of of this campaign and he made them over and over again. It was almost as if tim kaine was channeling trump from the last debate and pence candled Hillary Clinton. How effective were the styles . I think they were effective. I think that theres a lot of voters out there worried about both choices, donald trump and Hillary Clinton. I think for mike pence, he really needed to assure voters that he can be the steady choice for that ticket. But for tim kaine, he sold Hillary Clinton to the voting public, but he also brought the fight. One comment getting attention this morning is when asked about one of trumps comments on abortion, pence said donald politician. Given how many people distrust politicians, do you think that works for them or can that comment come back to haunt him . I think that theyve said this a lot through the past campaign. And i think a lot of voters like that. Thats why donald trump voters are so loyal. But at this point, were just over 30 days from the enof the campaign, i think the voters are worried about donald trump and want more of those polished politician comments as those other comments have been getting him in trouble even through last week. Speaking of comments, there were so many interesting moments last night. What did you think stood out the most . Well, one of the moments, i think, that well talk about and remembering is the back and forth over this insultdriven campaign. Tim kaine and mike pence accused each other of an insultdriven campaign, and mike pence tried to turn it around on the Clinton Campaign, which, of course, is interesting because insults have really been a hallmark of donald trump and his campaign, so much so that even during this debate, donald trump was retweeting Hillary Clinton pointed it out by tweeting it out during the debate. Its a hard argument for pence to get away from. Absolutely. Quickly, how did this impact the race now that the debate is done . Theres no clear winner from this. I think both came to do what they had to do. For tim kaine, Hillary Clinton had a bump from the last campaign. He wants to continue that momentum. And for mike pence, he wants to assure voters that this is a steady choice for voters. It does set up excitement for sundays big showdown, debate oh, absolutely. Number two between the president ial candidates. Shushannah walshe, thanks for being here with us. Any time. Gh doesnt sound so good. Well i think you sound great. Move over. Easy booger man. Take mucinex dm. Itll take care of your cough. Fine ill text you in 4 hours when your cough returns. One pill lasts 12 hours, so. Looks like im good all night ah david, please, listen.

His name is andreas hyde. He teamed up with a man he calls an aquanaut who invented this, what they call the subwing.

And they swim up behind him to see what it is in the water. He looks back to check it out. He said its the first time he was the one on the swimming end of it. He was worried about being bait, but, luckily, no one was harmed in the filming of the video. 240,000 views. Its beautiful. Background. Wow, i would be worried. Yes.

So this is her first time hearing Willie Nelson perform her song there called little house on the hill. She started singing along, her voice barely there. Oh, i love her. Tapping the toes and giggling like a teenager. Oh, how cute is she . From one cutie to another. Junior, believe it or not, is however, he has a very, very full head of hair so hes been nicknamed baby bear. His mom says thats what the family thinks he looks like, a little baby bear. When she walks by, it takes forever to go through the store because people ask about this baby. He was born with a full head of hair, and they said itll fall fall out, its baby hair. He hasnt lost any of it yet. How old again . Only eight weeks old. With that hair . Eight weeks old, and shes a former hairdresser, believe it or not. She has no intention of cutting it. She wants to let it grow out and see where it goes. The kids going to have great hair. So take a look at this. This is a concept bike, supposedly the fastest bike around.

The clown phobia that is gripping schools and College Campuses over what authorities are now calling a series of pranks gone awry. Double elimination on dancing with the stars, and the surprise of her life no one saw coming. Thats coming up in the skinny from abc news, this is world news now. Not laurie hernandez, all right. All right. Coming up, well be talking about dancing with the stars, but first, we have to get to the Vice President ial debate. It was a little heated. It was heated. It was fight night. It was the clash of the running mates, you might say, each putting up a fight for the top of their ticket. Both nominees, mike pence and tim kaine, have mild mannered personalities, but last night, they came out swinging, aiming at everything from immigration to emails to taxes. Your voice, your vote, abcs david wright has the highlights. Reporter in virginia, the jv debate, two men battling it out to be a heart beat away from the presidency each made their case. Six times tonight, i have said to governor pence, i cant imagine how you can defend your running mates position on one issue after the next. And all six cases, hes refused no, dont put words in my mouth. Reporter democrat tim kaine fashioned himself the attack dog the thought of donald trump as commander in chief scares us to death. Reporter forcing mike pence to defend trump. I cant imagine how governor pence can defend the insultdriven donald trump. Senator, you and Hillary Clinton would know about an insult driven campaign. It really is remarkable. Reporter pence, poised and steady, deflected, painting the democrats as mud slingers. The campaign of Hillary Clinton and tim kaine has been an avalanche of insults. Reporter pence was put on the spot over Donald Trumps taxes, specifically why hasnt he released his returns . He went through a very difficult time, but he used the tax code just the way its supposed to be used. And he did it brilliantly. How do you know that . You havent seen the the tax returns. He created a runway because he created a business worth billions of dollars today. How do you know that . Reporter kaine hit right back. Donald trump started the campaign in 2014 saying if i run for president , i will absolutely release my taxes. Men could end up with the top job some day. Pence did his best to channel Ronald Reagan. There they go again. Reporter kaine tried to Ronald Reagan him right back. He said the problem with Nuclear Proliferation is that some fool or maniac could trigger a catastrophic event, and i think thats who governor pences running mate is, who president reagan warned us about. Oh, come on. Senator, senator, that was even beneath you and Hillary Clinton. And thats thats pretty low. Reporter in one exchange, accusing trump of being the poti villain. Donald trump believes that the world will be safer if more nations have nuclear weapons. Reporter in the middle of the debate, donald trump retweeted that kaine looked like an evil crook out of the batman movies. That is absolutely false. And you know you know that, governor. Absolutely true. Reporter for both men, it was a coming out party. The first time theyve been tested on the National Stage. Being a Vice President ial candidate may be a thankless job, but for both men, the outcome of this debate has huge implications. Likely waiting in the wings to return for the top job four years from now. The other will be waiting in the wings much, much closer. Im david wright in new york. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton were both tweeting throughout the debate, as well. Yeah. Trump said pence won big and called to congratulate him. Kaine celebrated at a Debate Watch Party calling the experience intense but fun. Lana zak is joining us from farmville, virginia, and kaine is getting slack about how he interrupted pence. Was that a specific strategy by the Clinton Campaign . Reporter diane, we knew headed into the debate, they wanted him to be on the attack, but even people within the Clinton Campaign now are second guessing that. We heard from David Axelrod who felt like that strategy back fired. What we really saw from kaine was more like buckshot, trying to throw out as many punches as opposed to being strategic. And it seemed like that really didnt work out for him. Yeah. Axelrod was tweeting throughout the whole thing. He was not happy with how kaine looked. Kaine interrupted pence 60 times. Pence interrupted 37 times. So that said, any sense that the debate will have an impact with undecided voters . Reporter well, heading into this, we also heard from some people that because of the very high unfavorability ratings of the two people at the top of the ticket, that undecided voters may look at the two candidates to help them decide who they should cast ballots for, but after this debate, i dont think its going to be any easier for them to decide between Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Instead, we hear a lot of people who are looking forward to the next debate and potentially even the one that follows it. And what are the campaigns saying now that this is all over . Reporter well, thats easy. They both said they won. Yeah. Reporter but in all reality, donald trump was out saying what a great job he thought his running mate did. We saw the Campaign Manager for the Trump Campaign out here, Kellyanne Conway, she was crowing about what a great performance they had. We didnt have the same enthusiasm coming from the clinton side and i think that speaks volumes about what happened here tonight. All right. Abcs lana zak live from the vp debate. Lana, thank you. Tune in sunday night for the second president ial debate, comoderated by our own Martha Raddatz, full coverage here, and monday morning, well be joining you. More breaking news were following.

So weve been hearing a lot about the taxes that donald trump may not have paid over the last two decades. But can a billionaire real estate mogul really get away with paying less taxes than, say, a middle class sanitation worker . Abcs nick watt asks, whats up with that . Whats up with that . As a businessman and real estate developer, i have legally used the tax laws to my benefit. Reporter according to the leaked returns in the times, donald trump declared a nearly in theory, could have paid zero in federal taxes for 18 years on a 50 million a year income. I have brilliantly used those laws. Reporter could i do the same . As a tv reporter in the top 5 of earners who is also refusing to release tax returns, married, two kids. Could this sanitation worker of 78 grand a year, married, three kids . Hi, david. Expensive suit, tax wizard. Half of the american population, give or take, are not paying any federal income taxes. How do they get away with that . Including retired, disabled, and very low income and super rich like mr. Trump. Are the loopholes he legally uses, are they open to us . Good question. Technically, theyre open to you, but theyre not things that as a real estate or business owner, the loopholes are put there for people that are making tons of money. I just want to make sure theres nothing else i can do, i mean opening an offshore account in lichtenstein, can we do that . Reporter you cant really do that. Youll end up in jail. Other people dont end up in jail. Rich people dont. They have millions of dollars to spend on attorneys and Financial Planners that probably wouldnt be as smart investment for you. Reporter no point for us to consult you for our taxes. Nick watt for nightline. I liked nicks intro for that guy. Firm handshake and tax wizard. I want wizard to appear somewhere in a description of me. Exactly. That and cool hair. He did have cool air. Almost jude lawesque. Interesting debate there on taxes.
