A look back on his immense impact right here on abc and across the nation. Youre watching world news now. Is this place where we do the daily journalism thing for world news now . Yes. Hi, this is the segment hold it, i forgot something. One thing ive always envoyed about those world news now people, they dont have to get dressed up like the rest of us. Peter jennings showing his admiration for our show, the leader of this network for so many years and a trusted voice for generations that we lost way too soon. Its been ten years since he passed now and today marks that tenyear anniversary. Many of the anchors and reporters were mentors by peter including our own dan harris. More from abc, this is world news now tonight with Peter Jennings. Reporter like many aspiring journalists i grew up wanting to be Peter Jennings. So worldly, so smooth with the 007 looks and the keen intelligence that just pierced right through the screen. Peetser who was actually a High School Dropout started as the anchor here on abc at age 26. But it didnt go so well. So he went overseas to reinvent correspondent. Lets go to peter now. Reporter here he is at the munich olympics filing his now legendary reports as israeli athletes were massacred by palestinian terrorists. Black september. Reporter in the 1980s, he returned to the anchor chair leading abcs world news tonight, signature moments including his 24 hours of anchoring at the turn of the mill len qulum. Then there was his emotional moment during our coverage of the terror attacks of september 11th. If youre a parent, youve got a kid in some other part of the country, call him up. Reporter his extraordinary career came to an end in 2005, however. I have learned in the last couple of days that i have lung cancer. Reporter he never returned. For me, peter was perhaps the single most important influence of my professional life. This is us reporting together in iraq. There was no question that in person, peter could be tough and very intimidating, but he was a singular figure, a deeply serious and skeptical journalist, a broadcast icon, and someone i and many others here still dearly miss. And thinking of him after a night like last night after the Republican Debate, i couldnt help but wonder with the age of social media would he have had a twitter account, instagram . What would are thought about moderating a debate with all the social media. We forget sometimes, we come in and were in the rat race. You forget sometimes what an honor it is to sit in these chairs and walk these same halls a guy like that did. I cant believe its been ten years. Hes a large part of the reason i got into journalism.

Health alert, legionnaires outbreaking in new york and other cities. Why the fedses are taking action. Saying goodbye to jon stewart and his nightly mix of news, politics and humor, what a tribute on this friday, august 7th. From abc news, this is world news now with t. J. Holmes and reena ninan. So. It delivered. It delivered . It delivered. No disappointment . Not in the least bit. I was a happy man. Youre such a nerd. I want to repeat that over time. You get so hyped up over these political events. Thats a badge of honor. Im not ever accused of being smart. Thank you. This Republican Debate was thing to see. The first time the top ten candidates have shared a stage. Most of the attention on the frontrunner was donald trump who was literally in the center of the debate. Did the donald live up to the hype . Abcs karen an traverse joins us live from cleveland. What a night. Reporter good morning, reena and t. J. This debate certainly lived up it did not disappoint. If it was fist a and heated and issues. No surprise, donald trump commanding the spotlight every chance he could get. But for the most part, his opponents did not get down in the mud with him. The fireworks started early. Mr. Trump i cannot say i have to respect the person that if its not me. Hes already hedging his bet because hes used to buying politicians. Reporter trump quickly put on the spot asked to explain past comments that the fox moderator called disparaging against women but no apology from the business mogul. I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. Reporter the other contenders trying to bring the focus back to the issues. Im prolife. Ive always been prolife. Reporter illegal immigration and an area where this field has had differing opinions. A majority of the candidates on this stage have supported amnesty. I have never supported amnesty. I believe the great majority of people coming here illegally want to provide for their family. We need to control our border. Reporter and a fiery debate between rand paul an eye doctor and new jersey governor Chris Christie, a former prosecutor over government surveillance programs. I want to collect more records from terrorists but less records from innocent americans. When youre sitting in a subcommittee just blowing hot air about this, you can say things like that. You fundamentally misunderstand the bill of rights. For all the talk about donald trump and his place in the spotlight, the other nine candidates for the most part ignored him, opting not to engage him. But that didnt stop trump from getting in his digs. Our leaders are stupid. Reporter one thing the entire field can agree on, Hillary Clinton. The republican candidates blasted the democratic frontrunner insisting they could take this country in a better direction. Reena, t. J. . Incredible. Karen traverses, thank you so much for staying up with us this evening. Our debate coverage continues now with abcs deputy Political Editor Shoshana Wallace with some insight. What is your favorite moment. It was really right out of the gate. It featured the donald. Lets take a listen. I can totally make that pledge if im not the nominee, you pledge i will not run as an independent. Everybody. But im talking about a lot of leverage. We want to win. And we will win. Republican. Reporter of course, he was the only one on the stage that wouldnt promise not to run as a third party as an independent candidate. That had tear apart of the party and ensure a democratic likely a Hillary Clinton win for sure. That kind of set the stage for me at the beginning. I was excited. They set him up for that and knew he was the only one. Question was for him. It made for great tv. Absolutely absolutely. I have to say i thought the folks at fox news did a great job of pointed questions direct in the begin. They hit each one in the achilles heel, bush with the family name, rubios inexperience. Especially when megan kelly asked about his remarks about women, she had the comments behind her. Whats the other big moment people will be talking about . I think that brawl between Chris Christie and rand paul. Really it was a mini brawl. We know that on the stage, these are two men that dont like each other. They have a history of fighting over National Security issues. But this time it got personal. Lets listen. Senator, you know, when youre sitting in a subcommittee just blowing hot air about this, you can say things like that. When youre responsible for protecting the lives of the american people, then what you need to do is to make sure is to make sure that the system works the way its supposed to. Heres the problem, governor. You fundamentally misunderstand the bill of rights. Every time you did a case, you got a warrant from a judge. Im talking about searches without warrants indiscriminately of all americans records. Thats what i fought to end. Wow. T. J. , what was your favorite moment . That was one of my least favorite moments because they got nasty. Got a little personal. Debate the issue. Thats a serious debate. Its so funny, those two are like two blocks away from each other on the stage. But the exact opposite thing happened with john kasich, the governor of ohio, Home Field Advantage if you will. He was asked a question that was kind of meant to put him in a box, asked about what would you say to your children, how would you explain your position on same sex children if one of your children were gay. This is how he came back. Because somebody doesnt think the way i do doesnt mean that i cant care about them or cant love them. We need to remember that in this country. Thats how our debates dont take on that tone too often. We disagree and have to hate each other. That was a perfect way to handle the answer. It doesnt have to be vicious. He wants to be a different kind of republican. That came across tonight. I loved his answer. Okay. I have to say for me, it was probably the moment where they asked donald trump when did you become a republican. Of course, when did you actually become a republican. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate the concept of abortion. And then since then, ive very much evolved. He didnt answer the question. He dodged that one. Right. And thats sort of the thing. He may be the frontrunner right now in the polls but is he going to have the momentum to where republicans across america would support him right now . Its still early and celebrity and name recognition is a big part of this right now. But he didnt hurt himself tonight. A lot of people would tell you. I think so. Moving on, what is take away going to be . A moment that people remember or we had no gamechanger tonight necessarily. I think that people will remember that first question that hes not going to support the Republican Party. It was the gop debate. Shoshana, abc news deputy political director shoshana walsh. Its been awhile. New mom, welcome back. Threw right into the fire. Thank you. There was some fire tonight. Our coverage continues in our next half hour as we take you live once again to cleveland again for shoshana, thank you so much for being here with us. Coming up, more top stories.

Also in colorado, southwest of that explosion, environmental cleanup crews accidentally triggered a spill of about 1 million gallons of mine waste. That went into a creek. It created mustard colored muck made up of a heavy metal and soil. The il packet on fish and wildlife still unclear. Turning now to nashville where are new details emerging about the terror that unfolded this week inside a Movie Theater after Vincente Montano attacked a family with pepper spray and a hatchet, police say he had lighter fluid likely to set off a bomb. He was stopped in his tracks after pulling out a pellet gun that looked real. Immediately upon entering the theater, he was engaging with what i perceived to be small arms fire from a small caliber handgun. I turned to my right. And all i could see was the silhouette of a figure. I engaged that figure with one shot with my patrol rifle of and immediately backed out. Montano was shot dead. He was homeless after struggling with mental illness, said to be angry, delusional and hearing voices. Deliberations resume this morning over the fate of james holmes. Jurors got the case yesterday after closing arguments. Theyve already rejected holmes insanity defense and convicted him of murdering 1 people at that theater.

But the scary part is everyone who contracted this disease got it by just breeting in the air in this neighborhood. Gio benitez, abc news, new york. You know how had he got the name legionnaires.

Were live in cleveland with extended coverage. Confusion and frustration as morse debris possibly from Malaysian Airlines flight 370 washes up on shore. The difficult news for passengers families. Driving distracted. The disturbing new study about who may be pressuring teen drivers to text while behind the wheel. The safety alert. And later in the skinny, saying goodbye to jon stewart on the daily show. The unforgettable moments from his final broadcast. Its friday, august 7th. From abc news, this is world news now with t. J. Holmes and reena ninan. They got to get back out on the campaign trail, and the republican president ial candidates, all 17 of them now after last nights big debate. Most of the focus was on the man at the top of the polls in the middle of the is taken, donald trump who is getting slammed for his comments about women. Abcs dan harris has more. Reporter right from the jump, donald trump made waves. Is there anyone on stage and can i see hands, who is unwilling tonight to pledge your support to the eventual nominee of the Republican Party and pledge to not run an independent campaign against that person . Mr. Trump . I cannot say i can totally make that pledge if im the nominee. I will pledge i will not run as an independent. A few other candidates said a few other things and then 21 minutes in, it was back to trump for another doozy. Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. Your twitter account only rosie odonnell. I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. Moments later, rosie herself weighed in on twitter try explaining that to your kids. The testiest moment of the night didnt involve trump but instead new jersey governor Chris Christie and kentucky senator rand paul. It was over the nsas bulk Data Collection which christie supports and paul does not. I want to collect more records from terrorists but less records from innocent americans. When youre sitting in a subcommittee just blowing hot air about this, you can say things like that. You fundamentally misunderstand the bill of rights. To be sure there was plenty of Hillary Clinton bashing. If hillary is the candidate, which i doubt, that would be a dream come true. If im our nominee, how is Hillary Clinton going to lecture me about living paycheck to paycheck . Everywhere in the world that Hillary Clinton touched is more messed up today. Here in the same arena in cleveland where the Republican Party will hold its National Convention next year. But perhaps the most bizarre riff on hillary came from the donald who talked about why he contributed to her in the past. With Hillary Clinton, i said be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why . She had no choice. Reporter dan harris, abc news, new york. What a night. That was looking forward to that for a long time. Hillary, by the way, the only thing she tweeted back was about jon stewart leaving saying she was sorry hes going. She didnt engage. I give fox news credit for building this thing up over weeks and even months. Yes, they did their homework, didnt they . You know what . It was like we were all waiting for march madness, the selection show. Who is going to make the cut to be on stage. They built up so much excitement. I give them credit for this excitement. Our Karen Travers is there in cleveland, continues our coverage now. We heard what he had to say on the stage before the debate now. He was trying to downplay expectations. After the debate now, what was trump saying . Reporter t. J. , some hurt feelings for donald trump. A little surprising afterwards. He was in the spin room saying he felt that fox was too hard on him. In particular, he said megan kellys questions for him were just tougher than she was on any of the other candidates. Of course, donald trump being donald trump he said everybodys telling me this, that i had the toughest time tonight. But you know, donald trump says he didnt prep for this. He says hes not a debater. Hes prepared for anything. One republican tweeting tonight saying you know, if donald trump says he can take on china, he should be able to take on three moderators from fox news. Oh, interesting. A lot of people say youve really got to the prepare to have vision in mind. I want to talk about number two and number three in the polls, jeb bush and scott walker. How did they deliver tonight . Reporter they didnt do much to set themselves apart. You could call it a draw really. Jeb bush second or third in the polls, scott walker the same. They were right next to donald trump. Thats a tough position to be in, reena, because if youre going to get it from donald trump, youre going to get it from the other sides. That was one thing that was interesting last night. The candidates did not seem to want to give donald trump more attention so they turned on the other frontrunners they wanted to bring down. That meant they were getting a lot of attention. But just not really a format for both of them to shine not their best night. Well, karen, thank you so much. Reporting live for us from cleveland. Thanks for staying up with us, karen. Thanks. Stay with abc news for more reaction to the Republican Debate. Look for more coverage on america this morning and indepth analysis on abcnews. Com.
