good morning. this morning on "world news now," breaking news. the u.s. targeting the man known to the world as jihadi john. he was the masked man who became a symbol of isis after beheading an american and over hostages. u.s. officials now presuming he has been killed in a drone strike. breaking details from our brian ross team straight ahead. and donald trump on the attack, taking on his closest rival, dr. ben carson, even demonstrating a fake stabbing and asking how stupid are the people of iowa? plus, what the president thinks about trump's immigration plan. then big questions right now in italy. are italian olive oil makers trying to fool you when it comes to what is in their bottles? plus a "world news now" exclusive. an inspired story. we're going to catch up with the world's oldest yoga instructor. she is 97 years old and says she

has no plans to slow down, even after reena attended one of her sessions. it's time to stretch out on this friday, november 13th. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> good morning, everyone on this friday the 13th. >> are you feeling more zen? >> i do feel more zen. and i walked away with life lessons from this woman. of all the interviews i've done in my life, she is top three. i mean transformed the way i think about life, this woman. >> i look forward to seeing that story. >> and i just want the say, you're a big workout junkie. even you would have had problems. >> had a tough time keeping up with the 97-year-old yoga instructor. we want to start with the notorious terrorist known as jihadi john. he is believed to have been killed bay drone strike in syria. >> seen in so many of those gruesome beheading videos had been tracked by the u.s. for months.

abc's chief investigating correspondent brian ross has been following the story overnight and has the very latest now for us. >> reporter: the world first came to know jihadi john a little over a year ago when he appeared in this video wearing a black mask, holding a knife and threatening the life of american journalist james foley. his voice was disguised, but he could not hide his british accent. >> you have plotted against us and gone far out of your way to interfere in eastbound affairs. >> reporter: one after another, he presided over the murders of foley, american steven sotloff, and peter kassig, but who britons and then two japanese hostages. >> our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people. >> reporter: earlier this year, his true identity was revealed to be mohammed emwazi seen here wearing an american baseball cap, the son of kuwaiti parents who emigrated to england. he was spotted by teachers as having a violent streak. one teacher told the bbc that at

the age of 11 he was put in anger management therapy. >> we would find that he would get very angry and worked up and it would take him a long time to calm himself down. >> reporter: flaunting his role executioner, emwazi became one of the world's most wanted men. in a statement to abc news, the warrants of foley said the air strike was of small solace. quote, this huge effort to go after this deranged man filled with hate when they can't make half that effort to save the hostages while these young americans were still alive. it's unfortunate that the government doesn't get it. they think it gives us solace but it doesn't. ryan ross, abc news, new york. >> so interesting to hear mrs. foley's comments. it so heart-wrenching. while it is a huge get for the u.s. government, they put resources. they wanted to get this man because it also sends a message to other militants across the middle east that you are going

to do this, justice will be brought at some point. but for these families, they're not getting their loved ones back. it has in many ways transformed how the white house has looked at the hostage policy situation. >> but it does give them a little bit of closure. but it definitely does not change the war on isis. there will be other high value targets i'm sure as well. and speaking of isis, it might be -- may have expanded its terror operations into lebanon with a deadly attack. the group has claimed responsibility for twin suicide bombings in beirut that killed at least 43 people, one of the worst such attacks in lebanon in years. until now, isis has not had a recognized affiliate in lebanon, but its forces are fighting in neighboring syria and iraq. so many say a spillover is not surprising. an ohio man is under arrest for the alarming way that he tried to help isis. official says he used social media to promote violence against members of the u.s. armed forces. the 25-year-old akron man kept opening new twitter, facebook

and tumblr accounts as fast as the sites suspended him. his posts included photos, names and even addresses of service personnel. okay, to politics now and donald trump stepping up attacks on fellow front-runner ben carson. trump said the pathological temper carson described to himself in his memoir cannot be cured any more than a child molester can be cured. trump also mocked carson's account of trying to stab a friend, demonstrating to supporters in iowa how a belt buckle couldn't stop a knife. and he also doubted carson's religious awakening. okay. so-so far no comment from the carson camp. but president obama had plenty to say about donald trump after the last debate. he joined the chorus of criticism over trump's promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. in an exclusive interview with abc's george stephanopoulos, the president called the plan unrealistic and unamerican. >> donald trump is speaking about history.

he wants to bring back operation wetback from president eisenhower and deportation force. what would that mean? >> well, i think the name of that operation tells you something about the dangers of looking backwards. and the notion that we're going to deport 11, 12 million people from this country? first of all, i have no idea where mr. trump thinks the money is going to come from. it would cost us hundreds of billions of dollars to execute that. imagine the images on the screen flashed around the world as we were dragging parents away from their children and putting them in what, detention centers and then systematically sending them out. nobody thinks that this is realistic. but more importantly, that's not who we are as americans. >> much more on what the president had to say later this morning on "good morning america" and the entire

interview on "sunday this week." the faa says pilots from the southwest jet, a cessna and a corporate jet all reported they had the powerful light shone in their cockpit. there have been more than 5,000 reports of laser strikes so far this year. the university of missouri has named the retired federal civil rights attorney and one of the first black graduates of its law school as interim president. michael middleton says he is no stranger to what he calls systemic racism on campus, and he is promising to work directly with black activists on issues of racial inequality. well, from coast-to-coast, protesters took part in a million student march to show solidarity with the university of missouri. walkouts and rallies took place at more than 100 public colleges with demonstrators calling for free tuition and $15 minimum wage for campus workers. the weather throughout overnight is not rain or snow,

it's actually very strong winds in the midwest, especially around the great lakes. the region has seen gusts as high as 66 miles an hour. >> wow. what's causing very high waves on lake michigan and lakeshore is flooding likely. the strong winds could also be a problem for travel, both airline and highway. and they may cause some power outages. well, today of course is friday the 13th, a day most consider very unlucky. but it turns out that it can actually be very lucky for some lottery players. >> in at least five years alone, mega millions players s is in michigan have one more than $5 million. and with a jackpot of $200 million for tonight's drawing, this particular friday the 13th could be the most profitable yet for some lucky winners. so what does this mean? do we have to fly to michigan? get someone in michigan to buy the ticket? >> you can play -- well, michigan is a lucky state. but we can play the multimillion-dollar lottery anywhere and see if we have luck on this friday the 13th. >> all right.
