9:32 am
it just takes off! as you can see, he made it out alive, no injuries. now, to scotland, where a sheepdog got itself stuck in a very deep gully. its owner was trying to get a ram back to their family's crop, when the dog got stuck in a very difficult-to-reach area. when the dog got itself there, its owner couldn't reach it. it tried climbing down the gully itself, but it was too dangerous, so they called the rmli, the royal national lifeboat institution, and they, of course, used a dinghy to get very close to the dog. >> oh. >> they tied a rope to his body, and he's all wet. but at this point being pulled into safety. he is struggling a little bit, and they were able to rescue it. >> oh, that's amazing that that dog did not get swept out to sea with the tide rushing in like that and getting, you know, thrown into the rocks. this is a pretty tough reue. i an,oot little narrow place that they're in. >> at the end of the video you do see that he is reunited with his owner.
9:33 am
this is one of the best finishes to any sports game that you'll ever see. oklahoma basketball, the final minute of this game between diamond high school and woodward high school, the ball goes to this guy in the corner who's shooting the three. that's brighton. he shoots another three and misses. that's a guy from the other team from woodward high school, gets the rebound and passes it back to number 52. nails the three with about ten seconds left. you notice there the guy on the other team passed them the ball. >> are they friendly rivals, where you said, do you know what. >> it's not quite about the game or the score. it's more about brighton aubrey in this video. this was the final game of his basketball career. >> oh. >> this was senior night. brighton's dad mark told me that brighton was born with some physical issues. he had to go through therapy until he was 3, it took him a long time to walk and sometimes
9:34 am
his endurance isn't quite up there with some of the other gives on the team and brighton's dad said he played for six years on the team, trained just as hard as everybody else. he played since seventh grade but he spent a lot of time on the bench. one thing i want to point out here after brighton makes the shot, watch the guys from woodward high school, look at that kid. they're cheering! they are jumping up and down. and watch when the camera pans here, this is grandma wilda, she's just clapping. she's going nuts. >> oh, this is great. >> this is great. we've got dad and his son brighton, what a game when you sunk the three. tell united stats it felt like. >> it felt great. it was special for them and it was special for me and i consider them like my special family and it's special that they are there for me and supporting me no matter what. >> dad, how did you feel about this moment? watching this happen, watching the sportsmanship, watching everybody cheer? how did that make you feel as a parent? >> i think the thing that impressed me the most was the
9:35 am
opposing team. brighton's team is trying to get the ball to him and they caught on to that really quick and once that kid realized that was happening, then he just threw the ball to him and i wouldn't even have mentioned his name, brighton. >> he is from woodward and his name is eddie salazar. >> so, we're pretty proud of him, too, for throwing brighton the ball to get that shot. >> yeah. >> brighton, i got to tell you some of our girl producers back here, they want to know if you have a girlfriend. >> well, no. but i -- a lot of the girls at the high school really like me, but they just won't admit it. >> hey, buddy, we're proud of you, man, good job with the shot. keep shooting the threes, man. >> thank you so much. it always amazes me how bad guys think they're smart and going to get away with it but they always seem to forget no matter how sneaky they think they are, they are caught on video. it may be early in the morning and it may be dark in this baltimore neighborhood, but this guy doesn't get away with it.
9:36 am
this woman is having car trouble and noticed this man walks behind her, she doesn't seem him and watch, he attacks and he grabs her cell phone. she fights back, she did suffer injuries but they were not serious. but you see here 5:22 in the morning, this woman's having car trouble and this guy just takes advantage of her. >> what a dirtbag. >> for him that was, like, stealing candy from a baby. >> and he knew she couldn't get away, there was no way for her to get help, her vehicle is not working. >> according to police they believe this guy is known in the neighborhood and they are hoping somebody can recognize him from this video and turn him in. >> in north georgia at two walmarts police say a couple committed two smash-and-grabs they got away with $30,000 worth of technological equipment. we start in one walmart where this woman has broken into the glass case and she gets away with $11,000 worth of stuff. they walk out of the store, they're not noticed until after they're gone. they, then, made their way 20 minutes away to another walmart where the gentleman uses a different method.
9:37 am
>> i wouldn't really call him a gentleman. but how in the world do they get all of that stuff out unnoticed? i mean, we're talking about the technology center at the back of the store? they had to pass tons of people. >> the woman at this point is noticed by customers, and she picks up a phone and says this part of the store is closed. where are the store employees? >> it looks like they are trying to blend in as employee. >> because the woman has the blue walmart coat on, the police said they have serial numbers and they will probably try to sell them online. we're ending the week with another ipad mini giveaway. >> that's. coming up and you'll need the friday buzzword to enter to win. >> you need to be at least 18 years old and a u.s. resident to enter. >> stick around it's the "rtm" ipad mini giveaway coming up. several areas of political unrest around the world. these videos cars, the target of these attackers. in this first video this is from the ukraine, that's a relatively
9:38 am
new porsche 911. >> oh. >> that the opposition are attacking. that car is believed to belong to a representative of the ukrainian president victorian co victor yanukovych and the ukraine has been in days of violent protest. a similar situation going down in venezuela right now. this is somebody's car parked out on the street. those are government security forces smashing the windows out of that car for apparently no reason. when the security forces notice the camera man up in the window, they take some shots at that guy with some tear gas. a lot of students are not happy with the current situation of inflation, violent crime, corruption and product shortages. they're trying to get rid of the venezuelan president. >> the ironic thing about this is that one of the things the students are fighting for is security and the fact that in
9:39 am
this case it's government security forces smashing the car of a civilian. >> yeah. >> is just too ironic and it's sad because that's the exact thing they're fighting for. that's what they want to have end. raising the bar with the new shark fishing technique. >> and, yes, that is a ladder that they are setting up because that's how they're going to fish. >> see if stepping up has them hooked. and this 2-year-old gets emotional when mom decides to play -- >> her wedding slide show. >> the love song that has baby all choked up. >> she can't even -- she covers her face. [ laughter ]
