picked the wrong guy. hillary clinton tweeted that mccain is as tough as they come. and former president obama wrote give it hell, john. now mccain's daughter, meghan wrote a heart-felt message asking for prayers and support. but also a message from joe biden who lost his own son, beau biden, to the same brain cancer back in 2015. biden, who has known mccain for decades wrote, quote, he is strong, and he will beat this. >> and it's so touching to see senator graham there kind of fighting back tears when he's talking about his long friend. what do we know about this tumor? >> look, glioblastoma is rare. 12,000 people a year are diagnosed. it's aggressive. the five-year survival rate for people over the age of 55 is just 4%. he's recovering well, they're going with optimism and positivity. they are confident he will beat this. >> so many people have their thoughts and prayers with the mccain family.

abc's amna nawaz joins us now with more. good morning. >> it is a tough diagnosis for a man known as one of the toughest senators on capitol hill, but it's not mccain's first battle with cancer. the former presidential candidate underwent three surgeries between 1993 and 2002 to remove four melanomas, but this latest diagnosis is different. glioblastoma is a rare form of brain cancer, affecting three out of every 100,000 people in the u.s. and the prognosis can vary based on a number of factors. senator mccain remains in arizona after the surgery that led to the diagnosis in the first place. and doctors say he is improving well. statements have been pouring in from president trump, president obama, hillary clinton and mccain's senate colleagues among many, many others, but one of the most touching statements so far is this one, from mccain's

own daughter meghan who confessed she's scared of losing her father, but she went on to say, quite, cancer may afflict him in many ways, it will not make him sur vendor, nothing ever has. senator mccain is being treated at the mayo clinic in phoenix. there is no word yet on when the senator may return to washington. >> his daughter alluding to this. the fact that the senator is really no stranger to adversity. he's faced so many obstacles in his past, known as a fighter. >> that's absolutely true. we're hearing this again and again from the statements of support from people who know him best. this is a man who survived being a prisoner of war in vietnam, a man who ran for president, who has faced multiple political battles, a decades-long career. he is not one to back down from a fight. and we've heard this again and again from people who have known him longest, people who have

known him best. guys they say the cancer in this case picked the wrong guy. >> lot of people using the term "tough" in describing john mccain but also tough in describing that diagnosis. amna, thank you. and president trump also tweeted about mccain. but in the meantime, he's urging senate republicans to get back to work on a last-ditch effort to overhaul health care. >> he's reminding them of their promise to get rid of obamacare. republicans have been unable to pass a bill that satisfies conservatives and moderates. over the past few days, the president repeatedly changed his position. he first pushed for repeal and replace. then repeal only before declaring let obamacare fail. now he's back to his original plan. >> we should repeal and replace, and we shouldn't leave town until this is complete, until this bill is on my desk. >> more than 150 protesters were arrested on capitol hill as they

rallied against the effort to abolish obamacare. the latest report from the congressional budget office says a repeal-only bill would leave 32 million more people uninsured over the next decade and average premiums would double. the supreme court is upholding part of a lower court order on president trump's travel ban. it allows grandparents and other relatives of u.s. residents to enter the country from six mostly muslim countries. it allows grandparents and others to help those visitors get into the country. but it also ruled the trump administration can strictly enforce its ban on refugees. now to the wildfire in yosemite national park. nearly two dozen homes nearby have been destroyed. more than 4,000 people evacuated their homes, including the entire town of mariposa. the fire is now at 75 square miles, it has doubled in size since this time yesterday.

however, it is now moving south, away from the park, which remains open to visitors, despite all that smoke and haze in the air. >> a new study finds that the world has produced so much plastic waste it could bury the entire island of manhattan, two miles deep. researchers say since 1950, our planet has made more than 9 billion tons of plastic. the problem they say is that plastic doesn't break down easily, as we all know. so about 75% ends up in land fills or in the ocean. and less than 10% is actually recycled. excitement now building for next month's total solar eclipse. this is really cool, the first one to be visible from the u.s. mainland in 38 years. a total eclipse casts a shadow on earth. a partial eclipse will be

visible on august 21st. those along a 70-mile wide past from oregon to south carolina will get the full effect. hotels along that path already filling up. >> wow. and alaska airlines plans a flight to show everybody the eclipse from the sky. so nfl training camps are starting. some rookies are getting a lot of attention already. first up, steelers running back james connor. his jersey is the second-biggest seller right now behind tom brady. that's according to one retailer, amazing. >> yeah, it is. he gained national attention two years ago at the university pittsburgh while successfully battling hodgkins lymphoma. he scored 20 touchdowns last season for pitt and was drafted in the third round. >> and check out falcons rookie linebacker, duke riley, working out, as you do, by pulling a suv that weighs nearly 6,000 pounds. not bad. the third-round pick -- with a dude in it. lsu posted a video doing extreme pushups. i see. >> is that a bungee cord? >> wow. that's on a cord.

>> that's like your daily routine, right, kendis? first pulling cars and then the pushups with the bungee cord. >> defense is going to take him out. wait until you start. >> throw a chain on him, do some pushups, why not? >> it would be good if he had some weight on top of it. >> why not add to it. the helicopter that made an emergency landing in the ocean with a well-known personality on board. and road rage spilling out into the streets of manhattan. one man pulling out a machete. we'll show you how that ended. check out our behind the scenes pics on wnnfans.com. you're watching "world news now." wnn fans.com. you're watching "world news now."

since 2008 after being found guilty in a botched robbery attempt to steal back his memorabilia. in a sense, we've been here before. >> find the defendant, not guilty of murder. >> reporter: simpson acquitted after the trial of the century in which he was accused of the double murder of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. >> you had to have been there and lived what we lived to understand. >> reporter: now a four-part series, the jury speaks, airing on oxygen is asking jurors to recast their votes, knowing what they know now. >> it's not what we want. it's what the law is. >> reporter: lon cryer was juror number 247 during the people versus o.j. simpson. if you had to cast a vote about his guilt or innocence, how would you vote? >> i'm probably pretty sure that he probably is the person that went over there and killed nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. >> reporter: are there other things that have changed your view?

>> he decided to come out and do this fictitious book about if i did it. it became apparent to me in my mind that he was probably the person who went over there and killed those people. >> reporter: but cryer says he ultimately stands by that not guilty verdict. >> it wasn't based on what i thought i did it or didn't do it. it was based on the presumption given to my by judge ito of reasonable doubt. >> reporter: after fewer than four hours of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict. >> not guilty of the crime of murder. >> reporter: cryer says his first days of freedom were mired in fear. >> i had people camped out at my home in los angeles all the time. i had people that would show up at my house and leave threatening remarks. >> reporter: for simpson, life after the not guilty verdict was also not as he may have imagined. in 2008, after a baffling attempt to steal back his memorabilia, he was found guilty of robbery and kidnapping.

and sentenced to that nine to 33 year term in prison. >> to go to nevada and decide you were going to take it upon yourself and go and take back your memorabilia, i just thought the whole concept of it was pretty stupid. >> reporter: after his parole hearing, simpson could be a free man again. as for lon cryer, his maim will forever be linked with o.j. simpson. dan harris, abc news, new york. >> o.j.'s stay in prison has been not so traditional. most prisoners have to have an i.d. card, and they've taken away all his i.d. cards for fear they may be stolen for profit. he doesn't have any identification in prison. >> i kind of get a sense that people know who o.j. is. he doesn't need an i.d. card. if the parole board decides to free him, he won't walk out of that prison you saw there in nevada until october of this year. and you can watch abc news live coverage of that hearing today at 1:00 p.m. eastern time, right here on abc. who'd have thought, a parole

mix time here on a thursday. and we have lots to get to, including the debate of our time. >> it is the debate of our time. there is plain and simple, plane etiquette, in my opinion, i don't know if you'll agree here, what our viewers will think. there's nothing better when you get on a plane and you realize you have the row to yourself, but there's probably nothing worse than realizing that this person behind you has decided to take it upon themselves to use their feet, barefoot, there on the ledge, and also apparently. >> is that a good thing? is that not -- >> this was taken by jessica shar. she was headed from long beach to san francisco on tuesday. she says that this person was not only just putting their feet there on the armrest but also using those toes of theirs to open and close the window shade.

>> mom fixed alex's problem and sent some toys, to which alex sent a followup note, dear mom, thank you for the package that you gave me, i am working on a lego set? are you doing anything interesting? i am. i love you. stay safe. cute. >> he made up for it. this is, would you eat this? it's a burrito, but not your traditional burrito, an ice cream cotton candy burrito. so dentists everywhere are either thrilled because their pockets are lined or cringing at this. >> that looks great. >> you would eat that, kendis? >> that looks like a sugar bomb. >> you would eat pizza. skittles. nothing else on camera? >> i don't understand why we're making a big deal out of this, it's great. a rare blue lobster discovered by a fisherman greg ward. he caught the rare lobster and

more. troubling news for the senator and his family. >> we have the latest for you. he has survived torture as a prisoner of war in vietnam, and even previous bouts of cancer. senator john mccain is now preparing for a new bout this time with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer. >> if we're going to stay here to work, let's get some work done. >> reporter: just one week ago, a fiery mccain urged his senate colleagues to fight for their priorities. the very next day he flew home to arizona for surgery to remove a blood clot above his eye. that thwarted republicans' plans to vote on health care reform but led to this diagnosis from the mayo clinic in phoenix, a brain tumor known as glioblastoma, afflicting just three out of every 100,000 people in the u.s. >> this is one of those types of tumors that doesn't have a particular cure. it is not a type of treatment that you can say is likely going to lead to cure.

>> reporter: the former presidential candidate has had cancer before including three surgeries for melanomas between 1993 and 2002. this latest diagnosis for the 80-year-old republican unleashed an immediate round of suppt.or >> we talked about five minutes. he says i've been through worse. this disease has never had any more worthy opponent. >> reporter: mitch mcconnell called mccain a hero, saying, quote, i know he will face this challenge with the same extraordinary courage that has characterized his life. former secretary of state hillary clinton tweeted that mccain is as tough as they come. and former president obama warned, cancer doesn't know what it's up against. give it hell, john. in a touching online tribute, mccain's daughter meghan confessed her fears of losing her father, but she wrote,

cancer may afflict him in many ways but it will not make him surrender, nothing ever has. now the senator's office says he is in good spirits and will remain in arizona now, confident that any future treatment will be effective. though they don't know yet exactly what that treatment will entail. >> there's a long road ahead. history will tell us that. because some people may have remembered hearing about this particular form of brain tumor before. >> this form of brain tumor, glioblastoma is the same one that ted kennedy battled before passing away in 2009. but so far because of the location of the tumor above his eye, it may be easier to handle and could mean less potential damage to major brain function, but it's also the same tumor that beau biden, the late son of joe biden battled before he passed away in 2015. and we know joe biden has shared his support on twitter. he was tweeting his support for senator mccain.

he's known the man for 40 years and he said he's confident mccain will beat it. >> it's got to be tough to learn former vice president biden for him that his friend is battling it. amna, thank you. i appreciate it. president trump lashing out, at one of the early supporters of his campaign. openly criticizing jeff session for recusing in the russia scandal. >> this is ongoing and unfolding. the president telling the "new york times" that sessions acted unfairly and that sessions' decision led to the appointment of a special counsel. >> sessions gets the job. right after he gets the job he recuses himself. >> is that a mistake? >> well, sessions should never have recused himself. and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and i would have appointed someone else.

>> he also said if mueller looked into his family's finances he would consider it crossing a red line. >> he didn't say what he would do if he crossed that red line. speaking of red lines, the president is ending a covert cia program to arm and train moderate rebels fighting the regime there. the "washington post" reports that phasing out the operation is one way the president is trying to work with russia which has long pushed the united states to halt that program. the move is also seen as acknowledgement by the u.s. as limited ability to remove bashar al assad from power. more than 4,000 people are out of their homes in central california because of a massive wildfire. the detwiler fire has destroyed at least 29 homes and threatened thousands of other buildings. its size nearly doubling in one day to 46,000 acres. evacuation centers are open for residents as they wait for these flames to die out.
