buddy gage. gage out there with him. >> how is it going? >> this is actually illegal? >> yeah. >> how do you prepare for something like this. how do you know this is going to work? >> we work in sky diving so we actually do stuff like this on a daily basis. we practice our landings and flying small parachutes all the time. >> you are making it sound like it's no big deal but you still get that adrenaline rush when you're going through the build. >> yeah, absolutely, like, you're going super fast and we have it all planned out, set up at a perfect altitude and the rush that you get when you're going through, it kind of like overwhelmed with your sense of reaction. pretty exciting. >> did the landscaper say anything to you after you landed? >> i don't think he noticed as i was going by. afterwards he's like where did you come from? >> this video is going to make you sick, and it's very disturbing because, watch this guy in this light-colored

t-shirt. did you see what he just did? >> he's treating that dog like it's a toy. >> he's walking a small chihuahua and in the process also swinging in. >> unfortunately, it is being swung by the neck because the leash is attached to its collar, and can you see not only do he do it once, he does it again swinging it around his body. the dog seems to be okay, keeps walking, but this guy does it a third time. all of this is recorded by someone who witnessed what was happening. >> oh, man, that makes me so angry, and there's other people there, another guy with a dog. do none of them care about this animal? >> there is another dog with him. none of the guys seem to care that this guy is swinging the dog around. >> what's working might not even be his dog. >> as a matter of fact, that's a little bit of what's happening, the owner of the dog had allowed this dog to walk per chihuahua and wasn't until this video was posted on video until she
3:05 pm
realized that's my dog. ortunately the guy in the arrested and is being held by police on suspicion of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, and he is going to be facing some charges and the dog was returned to the owner, and it was not injured, fortunately. >> a potentially devastating terror attack was foiled by a border guard in israel. watch this van that pulls up. this van has already been noted as suspicious. you see a border guard walk up to the driver. they are having a conversation, but watch what happens next. the border guard is about to reach in and take the keys out of the car because they see something in the back of the van, and they want to investigate what's in there. the driver takes off. >> do you see that guard jump in to the vehicle as it's driving away? is that what we've seen pause at one point i think it's his legs
3:06 pm
dangling from the window. >> him getting dragged along. according to officials another border guard pointed a rifle at the man and the man pulled the car over and stopped. what did they find inside? ten gas cylinders, and they say that they found a large explosive device on driver's body that he could have detonated. >> it's good that they stopped it just at the site of the gun because if the guy would have fired with all that stuff in there, those tanks, i mean, the whole thing could have blown up. >> after interrogation the guy admitted he was planning on carrying out a terrorist attack. ♪ >> check, please. i don't think you want to be sticking around for dessert in this restaurant in hong kong. things are hitting the fan, mainly food. it's a brawl between two groups of people. it starts off seemingly like they are just mouthing at each other, but then somebody has the gall to pick up a teapot full of
3:07 pm
hot water. >> don't see it. >> agh. >> that ignites a full-blown brawl between these two groups. you see the guy who initially threw the hot water now attacking that guy with the teapot and striking him over the head. it goes crazy. people picking up chairs and throwing chairs. >> and they don't stay local like at their table. they start moving around in the restaurant. >> now, watch who steps in to try to settle this thing down. >> come to save the day. >> he walks up into the fray and he's like hold it. it does seem to have an effect. it does seem to calm people down a little bit. of course, nobody wants to see grandma get hurt. >> usually people have enough respect to realize we can't throw a plate when grand ma is standing there. >> looks like the aggression still got out on to the street.

3:15 pm
parts of the country. we're moments away, in fact the president is about to begin a news conference which is running about an hour an 15 minutes late. nonetheless, we're expecting to hear the president take questions on a whole range of very important topics. the president is to face reporters at the state department where he's wrapping up a summit of african leaders. this will be the first time the president has taken questions since the shooting rampage in afghanistan yesterday that killed an american major general. he was the highest ranking american killed in action in 44 years. officials say the shooter was an afghan soldier working side by side with u.s. troops and our nato partners. this is also the president's first news conference since a truce took effect between israel and hamas in gaza. that cease-fire has to this moment held, and talks aimed at reaching a longer truce are now under way in cairo, egypt. and then there's russia. the defense secretary, chuck hagel, said today the threat of russia invading ukraine has
3:16 pm
increased. with now 20,000 combat ready troops standing near the russian-ukrainian border, and the russian government has announced that their president putin has ordered a ban on all american agricultural imports. that's in response to some pretty tough economic punishments from the united states and european union over russia's support of the rebels fighting in ukraine. there's also the ebola crisis. the centers for disease control and prevention just announced it has raised its response to the highest level, meaning all hands on deck. officials claim that is not in response to the threat in the united states but to the worst-ever outbreak in africa, which has killed now close to 1,000 people. so there's a lot to cover and a lot of questions from the press corps. we'll listen in as the president makes his opening statement. then we're expecting questions for 30 or 45 minutes or so. >> our young african leaders initiative. i think there's increasing recognition that if countries
3:17 pm
are going to reach their full economic potential, then they have to invest in women, their education, their skills, and protect them from gender-based violence. that was the topic of conversation this afternoon. this week the united states announced a range of initiatives to help empower women across africa. our new alliance for food security and nutrition continues to grow, aiming to lift 50 million africans from poverty. our fight against hiv/aids we'll work with ten african countries to help them double the number of their children on life-saving anti-retroviral drugs. even as the united states is deploying some of our medical first responders to west africa to help control the ebola outbreak, we're also working to strengthen public health systems, including joining with the afghan union to pursue the creation of an african centers for disease control. the american people are also renewing their commitment to africa. today interaction, the leading
3:18 pm
aniens of american ngos is announcing that its members will invest $4 billion to promote maternal health, children's health and delivery of vaccines and drugs. so this is not just a government effort, it is also an effort that's spurred on by the private sector. combined with the investments we announced yesterday and the commitments today on the symposium hosted by our spouses, this is expected to mobilize some $37 billion for africa's progress on top of the substantial efforts that have been made in the past. second, we addressed good governance, which is a foundation of economic growth in free societies. some african nations are making impressive progress, but we see troubling restrictions on universal rights. so today was an opportunity to highlight the importance of rule of law, open accountable
3:19 pm
institutions, strong civil societies and protection of human rights for all citizens and all communities. and i made the point during our discussion that nations that uphold these rights and principles will ultimately be more prosperous and more economically successful. in particular, we agreed to step up our collective efforts against the corruption that costs african economies tens of billions of dollars every year, money that ought to be invested in the people of africa. several leaders raised the idea of a new partnership to combat illicit finance, and there was widespread agreement, so we decided to convene our experts and develop an action plan to promote the transparency that is essential to economic growth. third, we're deepening our security cooperation to meet common threats from terrorism to human trafficking. now, we're launching a new security governance initiative to help our african countries continue to build strong professional security forces to provide for their own security, and we're starting with kenya,
3:20 pm
niger, mali, new guinea and tunisia. during our discussions, our west african partners made it clear they want to increase their capacity to respond to crises, so the united states will launch a new effort to bolster the region's early warning and response network and increase their ability to share information about emerging crises. we also agreed to make significant new investments in african peace-keeping. the united states will provide additional equipment to afghan peace keepers in somalia and the central african republic. we will support the african union's efforts to strengthen its peace-keeping institutions. most importantly we're launching a new rapid response partnership with the goal of quickly deploying african peace keepers in support of u.n. or a.u. missions and join in six countries that have demonstrated a track record as peace keepers. we're going to invite countries
3:21 pm
beyond africa to join us in supporting this effort because the entire world has a stake in the success of peace-keeping in africa. in closing, i just want to say that this has been an extraordinary event, an extraordinary summit. given the success that we've had this week, we've agreed that summits like this can be a critical part of our work together going forward, a forcing mechanism for decisions and action. so we agreed that the u.s.-africa leaders summit will be a recurring event, to hold ourselves accountable for our commitments and to sustain our momentum. i'm strongly urge my successor to carry on this work because africa must know that they will always have a strong and reliable partner in the united states of america. so with that, i'm going to take a couple of questions. i'm going to start with julie pace of the associated press. where's julie. there she is. >> thank you, mr. president. there's been a lot of discussion surrounding this summit about the ebola outbreak in west africa and there's an untested and unapproved drug in the u.s.
3:22 pm
that appears to be helping some of the americans who are infected. is your administration considering at all sending supplies of this drug if it becomes available to some of these countries in west africa? and could you discuss a bit the ethics of either providing an untested drug to a foreign country or providing it only to americans and not to other countries that are harder hit if it could possibly save lives? >> well, i think we've got to let the science guide us. and, you know, i don't think all the information is in on whether this drug is helpful. what we do know is that the ebola virus, both currently and in the past, is controllable. if you have a strong public health infrastructure in place. the countries that have been affected are the first to admit that what's happened here is that their public health systems have been overwhelmed. they weren't able to identify
3:23 pm
and then isolate cases quickly enough. you did not have a strong trust relationship between some of the communities that were affected and public health workers. as a consequence, it spread more rapidly than has been typical with the periodic ebola outbreaks that have occurred previously. but despite obviously the extraordinary pain and hardship of the families and persons that have been affected and despite the fact that we have to take this very seriously, it is important to remind ourselves this is not an airborne disease. this is one that can be controlled and contained very effectively if we use the right protocols. so what we've done is to make sure that we're surging, not just u.s. resources but we've reached out to european partners and partners from other countries working with the
3:24 pm
w.h.o. let's get all the health workers that we need on the ground. let's help to bolster the systems that they already have in place. let's nip as early as possible any additional outbreaks of the disease. and then during the course of that process, i think it's entirely appropriate for us to see if there are additional drugs or medical treatments that can improve the survivalability of what is a very deadly and obviously brutal disease. so we're going to -- we're focusing on the public health approach right now because we know how to do that. but i will continue to seek information about what we're learning with respect to these drugs going forward. >> if it seems to be effective, would you support fast tracking its approval in the united states? >> i think it's premature for me
3:25 pm
to say that because i don't have enough information, i don't have enough data right now to offer an opinion on that. john carl, abc news. >> thank you, mr. president. when you were running for president, you said, quote, the biggest problems we're facing right now have to do with george bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through congress at all and that's what i intend to reverse. so my question to you, has congress' inability to do anything significant given you a green light to push the limits of executive power, even a duty to do so, or put another way, does it bother you more to be accused of being an imperial president pushing those limits or to be accused of being a do-nothing president who couldn't get anything done because he faced a dysfunctional congress? >> well, you know, i think that i never have a green light. i'm bound by the constitution, i'm bound bicep rags of powe--
3:26 pm
by separation of powers. congress has the power of the purse, for example. i would love to fund a love infrastructure proposal right now that would put millions of people to work and boost our gdp. we know we've got roads and bridges and airports and, you know, electrical grids that need to be rebuilt, but without the cooperation of congress, what i can do is speed up permitting process, for example. i can make sure we're working with the private sector to make sure we can channel investment into much-needed projects. but ultimately congress has to pass a budget and authorize spending. so i don't have a green light. what i am consistently going to do is wherever i have the legal authorities to make progress on behalf of middle class americans and folks working to get into the middle class, whether it's
3:27 pm
by making sure the federal contractors are paying a fair wage to their workers, making sure that women have the opportunity to make sure that they're getting paid the same as men for doing the same job, where i have the capacity to, you know, expand some of the student loan program that say we've already put in place so that repayments are a little more affordable for college graduates, i'm going to seize those opportunities, and that's what i think the american people expect me to do. my preference in all these instances is to work with congress because not only can congress do more, but it's going to be longer lasting. and when you look at, for example, congressional inaction and in particular the inaction on the part of house republicans when it comes to immigration
3:28 pm
reform, here's an area where, as i've said before, not only do the american people want to see action, not only is there 80% overlap between what republicans say they want and democrats say they want, we actually passed a bill out of the senate that was bipartisan. and in those circumstances what the american people expect is that despite the differences between the parties, there should at least be the capacity to move forward on things we agree on, and that's not what we're seeing right now. so in the face of that kind of dysfunction, what i can do is scour our authorities to try to make progress. and we're going to make sure that every time we take one of these steps that we are working within the confines of my executive power, but i promise you the american people don't
3:29 pm
want me just standing around twiddling my thumbs and waiting for congress to get something done. even as we take these executive actions, i'm going to continue to reach out to democrats and republicans, to the speaker, to the leadership on both sides and in both chambers to try to come up with formulas where we can make progress even if it's incremental. >> do you believe you have the power to grant work permits to here who are here illegally, as some of your supporters suggested? >> what i certainly recognize with respect to immigration reform, and i've said this in the past, is that we have a broken system. it's underresourced. and we've got to make choices in terms of how we allocate personnel and resources. so if i'm going to, for example, send more immigration judges down to the border to process some of these unaccompanied children that have arrived at
3:30 pm
the border, then that's coming from someplace else, and we're going to have to prioritize. that's well within our authorities and prosecutorial protection. my request would be a comprehensive immigration law and we already have something. until that happens, i have to make choices. that's what i was elected to do. >> margaret telling, bloomberg. >> thank you, mr. president. along the lines of executive authority, treasury secretary jack lew has previously said that the executive branch of government doesn't have the authority to slow or stop corporate inversion, the practice that you have called distasteful, unpatriotic, et cetera. now he is reviewing options to do so and this is an issue that a lot of businesses, probably including some of the ones who were paying a lot of attention to this summit, are interested in. what i want to ask you is what
