thursday, june 28th. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> is it our last day? is that -- >> surprise! it's your last day. >> there's a replacement around the corner? >> no. we are not going anywhere, but some of you have had some interesting guesses on social media. >> have they? i can only imagine. but we're going to start this half hour with the future of the supreme court in the hands of donald trump. justice anthony kennedy has announced his retirement after three decades on the high court. he was a swing vote in a number of rulings. >> the president is expected to fill the vacancy with a much more conservative justice, but he says kennedy knows he will nominate the right person. >> i'm very honored that he chose to do it during my term in office, because he felt

confident in me to make the right choice and carry on his great legacy. that's why. >> and he said the retirement underscores the importance of maintaining republican control of the senate. >> terry moran has more on kennedy's long career as one of the high court's more unpredictable judges. >> reporter: justice anthony kennedy who shaped american law and life by the simple fact that he was so often the man in the middle left the supreme court he loves with a short letter, one he hand-delivered to the president and addressed "my dear mr. president". he expressed his profound gratitude to seek in each case how to know and defend the constitution. >> he's been a great justice of the supreme court. >> reporter: this nomination is even more crucial than most. because few justices in american history have exercised more power than anthony kennedy. he joined the court in 1988, appointed by ronald reagan.

no conservative fire brand, he frequently agonized over big decisions, but in landmark, case after case, his crucial swing vote decided american law and shaping american life. he co-authored the key opinion upholding roe versus wade and in a remarkable series of cases over the course of almost two decades he championed the rights of gay and lesbian americans. he wrote with deep feeling. they ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law, the constitution grants them that right. all of that now could be up for grabs. as president trump has already picked one justice, neil gorsuch, that's already paid off. gorsuch casting a key vote this week upholding the trump travel ban. and now the president will choose the replacement for gorsuch's mentor, the man in the middle, on whom so much has been riding for so long.

the travel ban case is likely to be the first of many, because president trump tests the system, tests presidential power. and it's almost certain that among the major areas this court will face in the coming years, a court the president is reshaping now is the trump presidency itself. terry moran, abc news, the supreme court. >> and president trump has about two dozen potential nominees waiting in the wings. >> he's expected to choose from an existing list of 25 candidates who have already been vetted. he interviewed some of them last year before picking neil gorsuch. democrats are fighting to hold off until at least the midterm elections. >> millions of people are just months away from determining the senators who should vote to confirm or reject the president's nominee. and their voices deserve to be heard now. >> senator schumer also highlighted that republicans refused to vote on a supreme

court nominee before the 2016 presidential election. still mitch mcconnell says they will vote on kennedy's successor this fall. >> and justice kennedy has been on the court for some 30 years. so as can you imagine there are a lot of tributes this morning saying good luck in retirement. here's the daily news' take on it. they're saying good luck -- oh, not quite. >> how nice. >> the daily news there with its version of president trump. >> pleasant thoughts for this thursday morning. they clearly have faith. >> i think there are a lot of people who share those sentiments. a lot of people who are hopeful as well. >> a lot of people are elated. we move on to pennsylvania, that police officer who is charged with criminal murder for the fatal shooting of the black teenager who was running away at the time. east pittsburgh officer michael rosfeld turned himself in after being charged and released on bond.

prosecutors say he made inconsistent statements about whether he saw a gun in the hand of antwon rose before he opened fire. >> they also released video showing another teen firing several shots out of the window of the car. rose was in the front seat at the time. the teen who fired the shots has been arrested. a federal jury in washington, d.c. has indicted an ohio man on 30 hate crime charges. james fields is accused of intentionally driving into a crowd of counterprotesters near a white supremacist rally in charlottesville in august of last year. he also faces first degree murder charges in the death of 32-year-old heather haier. a fire weather watch is still in effect in california. the pawnee fire is 30% contained. red flag warnings extend across six states with four new fires in utah.

they wake up about four or five hours, can't fall back to sleep. is it possible that is enough sleep for that person? >> it may not be. it could be they're waking up because of noise or something going on in the environment. and many, many, many studies have shown that seven to eight hours or more are really better. >> one of our producers was asking, if i get two three-hour blocks plus an hour of naps, does that equal seven hours of sleep? >> the prolonged sleep allows you to get more of the deep sleep cycles. >> okay. >> it's better to have continuous sleep if possible. >> one of our viewers was talking about sleep position. he has back pain and was told that it is because he sleeps on his stomach. is there a best sleep position, and if you want to change it, are there techniques? >> left side is the best. less reflux, better for circulation. >> what about when it comes to medication? some people are using something as simple as benadryl or tylenol. can you form a tolerance?

>> they are not habit forming, but the best is because of the side effects of the over the counters is to try to get off that. maybe try low-dose melatonin, and if you're having problems see a sleep specialist. >> someone else also asked about adjusting hours, jet lag. what is the best way to adjust when your body clock is off that way? >> the best treatment for changing time zones or changing related to your work is melatonin. it's actually the drug of choice. it's very effective. most people take too much too close to bedtime. the best dose, 2 milligrams, two hours before bedtime. it's not really a sleep aid. it helps you change your sleep cycle. >> caffeine and alcohol. >> alcohol will help you get sleep. you may get some deep sleep for three or four hours but then you wake up and won't be able to get back to sleep. caffeine can stay in your body for 12 hours. >> 12. >> 12 hours.

who was diagnosed with sleep apnea. >> you bring up a very good point. children. about 2% to 4% of children have sleep apnea usually because they have big tonsils. take out the tonsils, they start growing and flourishing, their behavior improves. >> what if the problem is just snoring? >> there are other treatments, but certainly the sleep apnea treatments, the mouth guards. they can eliminate it in 95% of the cases. >> you may think i sleep fine, but your spouse doesn't because you're snoring all night. they would appreciate the sleep guard. you have literally changed my life. and hopefully bringing this story to others we will be able to pay this forward. >> thank you, diane. sleep is the basis of health. i'm glad you're letting your viewers know that. >> can we go to sleep now. >> yeah. >> we'll take a quick power nap. that nap was so nice.

>> how long did that last? >> i really, really enjoyed it, but the director had to come and poke me awake. again, with the melatonin. so many people are taking ten, five milligrams at least. he says one to two milligrams two hours before bed. very important to not take more than that. >> so i'll take it now. >> and the best treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. i learned so much, i'm finally sleeping, and now i have learned that it is all for naught. >> why? >> because after i finally learned how to sleep, come five months, i won't be able to anymore because -- i'm having a baby. >> what? >> i'm pregnant, everybody. so all that sleep is going to go away. i'm going to enjoy it while it lasts. >> we have some pickles for you. >> you got me presents? >> i got champagne for me. chocolate. >> i can't drink champagne?

gives the president a second opportunity to appoint a more conservative justice and shape the high court for generations. here's jonathan karl. >> reporter: it's the reason many conservatives came to support donald trump in the first place. his promise to transform the supreme court. and now that moment may be here. >> we will begin our search for a new justice of the united states supreme court. that will begin immediately. and hopefully we're going to pick somebody who will be as outstanding. >> reporter: he made no secret of what he'll do. during the campaign, he promised to pick pro-life judges. he said he will choose from a list of 25 conservatives the white house put out last year. >> highly intelligent. hopefully tremendous people. i think the list is very outstanding. >> reporter: i talked to the man who helped the president come up with that list, leonard leo, the long-time head of the conservative federalist's society. >> to transform the rule of law in our country. >> reporter: it wic

battle. republicans have just a one-seat majority in the senate and democrats are insisting there should be no confirmation vote until after the mid-term elections. >> millions of people are just months of way from determining the senators who should vote to confirm or reject the president's nominee, and their voices deserve to be heard now. >> reporter: the republican senate leader said there must be no delay. >> we will vote to confirm justice kennedy's successor this fall. >> reporter: it was mcconnell who blocked a vote on barack obama's nominee, merrick garland, until after the 2016 election and orchestrated a change in senate rules, the so-called nuclear option to get president trump's pick neil gorsuch confirmed with a simple majority vote. the republican majority is even slimmer now, and the pressure on these three democrats is enormous.

they defied their party and voted for gorsuch. and now they are all up for reelection in states that trump won big. the president will likely make a decision on the nominee within the next few weeks if not sooner. and this list is the reason why he can act so soon. this is his list of 25 conservatives that he says he will choose from. these are people who have already gone through a vetting process. in fact, he has already interviewed a couple of them. he did that last year before he ultimately decided to pick neil gorsuch. he wants to act quickly on this, because the president wants to see a supreme court justice confirmed before the mid-term elections. jonathan karl, abc news, the white house. >> and during the campaign the president vowed to put conservative justices on the court to overturn roe v. wade. >> it seems clear that roe v. wade is as vulnerable as when it was decided.

justices tend to be deferential to previous decisions. so what could happen, it could get gutted. so it would become nearly impossible for women in certain states to get an abortion. but we'll have to see. >> dan added that chief justice john roberts could evolve and become the swing vote if he fights to keep precedents on the books but wouldn't be expected to split with conservatives as often as kennedy did. and later we'll learn where president trump and vladimir putin will hold a summit. the president's national security adviser john bolton met with putin in moscow yesterday, laying the groundwork for the talks. at the white house, president trump talked about building better relations with russia. >> it would look like we will probably be meeting sometime in the not too distant future.

they said michael rosfeld changed his story about whether he saw a gun in the hand of 17 year old antwon rose. he turned himself in after being charged and was released on bond. kenneth moton is there. >> reporter: no justification. those strong words from the prosecutor charging michael rosfeld with criminal homicide for his fatal shooting of unarmed antwon rose as he ran away from a traffic stop. investigators released that surveillance video showing another teen firing out of a car window, as antwon sat in the front seat. minutes later, officer rosfeld pulled over the vehicle suspected in the drive-by shooting. antwon showed his hands, turned and ran. rosfeld fired three times, hitting him in the back. >> what was he supposed to do? there was a car, he was involved in an attempted murder right up the road. the windows are blown out on the car from returned fire.

>> reporter: for days, members of antwon's family have demanded justice. >> he should have been in jail the day after it happened. he should have been fired five minutes after it happened. >> reporter: antwon's mother too upset to speak. her attorneys calling the charge the first step. >> we want a conviction of someone who murdered her son. and we really won't find justice unless we find that. >> reporter: the family attorneys say it is the first step, knowing police convictions in police shootings are rare. rosfeld's lawyer says he was just doing his job and they'll let the legal system play out. kenneth moton, abc news, pittsburgh. border officials say they're confident thousands of children can be reunited within 30 days. despite a strong endorsement from president trump, house lawmakers have rejected a wide-ranging immigration bill with nearly half of the
