information at weirdal.com. have a great weekend.

this morning on "world news now," breaking news from the middle east. what a u.s. official calls a direct hit on the isis terrorist known as jihadi john, the man wanted for allegedly beheading americans and hostages from other countries as well, now presumed dead. live coverage straight ahead. also ahead, widespread protests on college campuses across the country. students angry about how racist incidents are being treated, now speaking out. and a big change at the university of missouri, now under new leadership. and now in half hour, a goodfella goes free. a reputed mobster walks out of court after being acquitted with

infamous heists in u.s. history. part of his defense straight out of an episode of "seinfeld." and what's in a name? not much apparently when the guy we all got to know on "baywatch" wants to change. well, it's sort of a hassle with the hoff. it's friday, november 13th. >> from abc news, this is "world news now." >> well, good friday morning. we begin with the breaking news months in the making. the likely death of the terrorist known as jihadi john. the masked man, a british citizen seen in videos beheading u.s. journalists steven sotloff, james foley, and a number of over hostages. >> jihadi john, his real name mohammed emwazi, he was tracked by the u.s. for months. he was targeted in a u.s. drone entered a vehicle in the isis stronghold of raqqah. that is in syria. one official telling abc news it was a 100% direct hit, and that jihadi john basically evaporated. are still coming in this

abc news investigative producer james meek has been working his sources and joins us live. james, jihadi john was not the head of isis, but the u.s. military really wanted to get him. and how does his death impact isis? >> well, good morning, reena. they've been tracking jihadi john. his real name is mohammed emwazi. he was unmasked finally in a series of leaked news reports early in the winter of this year after presiding over the video beheading of a number of u.s., british, japanese aid workers and journalists. they've been tracking him for quite a long time. and the intelligence agencies of the u.s. finally zeroed in on his location. and got the green light to attack him with a drone strike in raqqah, syria. as he was exiting a building, a drone missile hit the vehicle he was in.

and as one official said to me, and on the impact, leaving his car in flames. >> okay, so james, we're getting that from one official. but will the u.s. ever have 100% and how will they possibly try to confirm this? >> well, they may not ever 100%, but they can come close, because they will be looking -- they'll be listening to the chatter of isis operatives, as well as social media and other chatter, cell phones of people in the vicinity of the strike will be talking to each other. the group may acknowledge, it's possible, jihad john's death. by the way, he was called jihad john because some of the hostages called several british captors who were particularly brutal to them the beatles, sort of a way to identify them. and he was known as john amongst the so-called beatles of these isis hostage takers. >> and you also spoke to the mother of murdered journalist james foley just a short time

he was seen with jihadi john just before his execution. what was her reaction to all of this, james? >> well, the foley family has been anticipating the possibility of the man who at least on video presented himself as their son's killer. journalist james foley. what diane foley told me tonight is she said, you know, if only so much effort that was undertaken to find and kill jihad john had been undertaken to find and rescue her son and the other hostages who were subsequently murdered by isis in a very high profile way over the past 14 or 15 months or so, that would have been something she said was very small solace to learn that jihad john had been killed in an air strike. and she said, you know, the government just doesn't get it. it doesn't bring them their son back. that was their point. and they are -- i don't think they're going to miss jihad have preferred to get jim back

>> and that's so understandable. one mother's grief and several other families who likely very much feel the same way. james meek, part of our brian ross investigative unit. james, thank you so much for your time this morning. and that major strike on a member of isis coming just hours after isis claimed carried out deadly attacks in lebanon. at least 43 people were killed in twin suicide bombings in beirut, one of the deadliest terror attacks in recent years. it would be especially ominous if those claims are true since isis has not recognized affiliates in lebanon before. well, students at more than 100 college campuses nationwide staged walkouts and rallies to show their solidarity with protesters at the university of missouri. >> it was called the million student march, and it was planned before tensions erupted at missouri. but protesters say they used the opportunity to speak out against overt and subtle forms of racism that they say pervades most campuses. >> escalating complaints about race issues has prompted yet another resignation.

claremont mckenna college in down. charge at the university of missouri, at least for now. as abc's elizabeth hurd reports, he says he is ready to work with activists on campus to resolve racial tensions. >> reporter: the university of missouri wasting no time meeting their new interim president, law school professor. university has faced its share of troubling incidents, and we recognize that we must move forward as a community. >> reporter: it was just on monday that now former president tim wolfe and the university chancellor announced their resignation, bowing to mounting pressure from students and faculty, protesting what they call racial injustice on campus. >> this is what democracy looks like! >> really what is at question is the racial climate on campus. >> reporter: raising concerns, and some already getting results. >> i committed to them that we

yale it can be. >> reporter: yale devoting $50 million to increase faculty diversity and ithaca creating a new chief diversity officer position. but back in missouri, the situation still tense, with the legion of black collegiates vandalized sign outside the black culture center. and social media pictures showing nearly empty lecture students posted threats online against black students. both students were arrested, and yesterday 19-year-old hunter park was in court and denied bail. prosecutors say he told investigators he had a, quote, deep interest in the oregon mass shooter. kendis and reena, back to you. >> elizabeth, thank you so much. the student protesters are getting no sympathy from the republican presidential front-runners. donald trump blasted the campus demonstrators, calling their demands crazy. and he slammed the former university of missouri president chancellor for stepping down.

i think the two people that resigned are weak, ineffective people. i think that when they resign that they set something in motion that is going to be a disaster for the next long period of time. >> we're being a little bit too tolerant, i guess you might say accepting infantile behavior. i don't care which side it comes from. >> ben carson added that the two sides need to sit down and have an open discussion. >> okay. so speaking of charm, he also had some explosive words for carson about his self-proclaimed trump poked fun at carson's account of trying to stab as friend as a teenager, showing supporters in animated fashion you might say that a belt buckle couldn't stop a knife. and he likened carson's past temper to a child molester. >> if you're pathological, there is no cure for that, folks. okay? there is no cure for that. and i did one of the shows

today. and i don't want to say what i said. but i'll tell you anyway. i said that if you're a child molester, a sick puppy, you're a child molester, there is no cure for that. there is only one cure. we don't want to talk about that cure. that's the ultimate cure. >> well, trump also told the crowd at a rally in iowa that carson went into a bathroom and came out religious. then he said don't be fools. it doesn't happen that way. the coast guard is searching overnight for a cruise ship passenger. the woman was a passenger on the norwegian pearl and jumped from the ship about 20 miles off the coast of cuba. the pearl is chartered for an electronic dance music cruise. and on its way from miami to a mexican caribbean resort. she is the second cruise ship passenger to go overboard this week. okay. we're going to switch our gears right now. in last night's nfl game, it looked like christmas came a little bit early.

the jets were in all green, and the bills were in all red. >> it was the start of the league's color rush experiment which will continue on thursday nights. as for the game, the bills scored nine points in nine seconds, thanks to field goal and a fumble return for a touchdown. buffalo led from there. and despite a jets comeback, rex ryan and the bills win it, 22-17. >> so it's not unusual actually for people to look future that one unique thing that sets them apart from everyone else. >> from kenichi ito of japan, that unique thing is running on all fours. at the 11th annual guinness world records day in tokyo, ito ran 100 meters in just 15.71 seconds, shattering the world record. >> wow. the fastest man on all fours says he spent nine years studying how monkeys move to improve his technique, hence his nickname monkey man. saying hussein bolt has nothing to worry about from that guy. coming up, we're going to

shia labeouf's movie watching. >> this is your favorite story. >> it was of the week, by far. plus, the alleged wiseguy who will be home for the holidays now that he has been cleared of a crime made famous in the movie "goodfellas." and in "the skinny" this is something i cannot wait for, new albums today for justin bieber and one direction. but first, do you know the guy that puts together this map every day, max colombo? today it's his birthday. >> happy birthday day. >> take a look at his work. >> "world news now" weather . brought to you mucinex dm. brought . yeah...but what about mike? he has that dry scratchy thing going on. guess what? it works on his cough too. cough! guess what? it works on his cough too. what? stop! don't pull me! spoiler alert! she doesn't make it! only mucinex dm relieves both wet and dry coughs for 12 hours

>> okay, so that was actually a big heist back in the day, 1978. it was $6 million heist. if we adjusted it for inflation, that's about $21.5 million today. >> that's a lot of money. >> it was really a huge heist there. when we come back, the big announcement from actor david hasselhoff. and it's a big day today for both justin bieber and one direction.

s is believed to travel to syria. in a statement to abc news, the air strike against jihadi john 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. american officials believe emwazi was killed based on what they observed of that hit. the car that he was in burst into flames. one u.s. official saying he essentially evaporated. reena, kendis? >> yeah, a lot of people are saying that he basically, we're getting the word from many officials that he basically evaporated with that hit. >> yeah. and can you tell what's does this mean for america's broader fight against isis?

obama. his policy has been marred by challenges and controversy. if it turns out emwazi was actually killed, this is proof that the intel and coordination are working. >> all right. molly hunter reporting from jerusalem live for us this morning. molly, our thanks to you. now to the race for the white house. the gop front-runners firing off about the protests at the university of missouri and campuses across the country. donald trump blasting the students and the school officials who stepped down under pressure. here is more from abc's john karl. >> reporter: donald trump is weighing in with explosive words on the protests over racial inequality at the university of missouri. calling the protests disgusting and the school's president and chancellor weak for stepping down. >> i think it's disgusting. i think the two people that resigned are weak, ineffective people. i think that when they resign, they set something in motion is going to be a disaster for the next long period of time. >> it is our duty to fight for

our freedom. >> reporter: protests over alleged racial incidents escalated this week when the college football team joined in, threatening not to play this weekend. students are demanding more black faculty and staff and more money for campus wide diversity programs. similar protests spread nationwide to other college campuses. yale protesters shouting down a professor. >> if that is what you think about being in class, you should step down. >> reporter: ben carson, a yale graduate called the protests there infantile. bit too tolerant, i guess you might say. accepting infantile behavior. now, i don't care which side it comes from. >> reporter: in stark contrast to donald trump, jeb bush and student protesters at the university of missouri had, quote, legitimate concerns. while he wouldn't say whether or not the president should have resigned, he said he probably missed a good opportunity to making it clear that the university had no tolerance for

racism. jonathan karl, abc news, washington. now to another embarrassment for the secret service. a uniformed agent has been arrested for sexting someone he believed to be a 14-year-old girl. the recipient was actually a state trooper posing as the girl. some of the communication we're told actually took place while lee moore was on duty working at the white house. he is also accused of trying to arrange a meeting with the girl. moore reportedly admitted he had contacted other 14-year-old girls. whoever killed a young indianapolis mother inside her own home may face a second murder charge because the woman was pregnant. >> there have been no arrests as yet. and abc's brandi hitt reports. so far the case has police baffled. >> reporter: the search is on for the gunman who shot and killed 28-year-old amanda blackburn here inside the pregnant mother's indianapolis home. during what police believe was a home invasion robbery. >> take a little romantic getaway.

recent youtube video posted with her husband, local pastor davey blackburn. he told police after getting home from the gym tuesday morning, he found his home broken into, his wife on the ground shot in the head. and the couple's 1-year-old son, seen in this halloween photo, was home at the time of the shooting. >> amanda was an amazing person. she was good mother. and a good wife. they had such a happy family. >> reporter: the couple had moved to indianapolis just a few years ago to start the resonate church, and appeared to be in love. police are investigating another home invasion in the same area just hours before the shooting. >> our detectives are following up on several promising leads. this appears to be a random act. >> reporter: in a statement, davey blackburn said i have not and support, but also my very best friend. investigators say no family members are considered suspects in this case as they now comb through footage that was captured on neighbors' surveillance cameras. reena and kendis?

>> thank you so much. surgeons at the cleveland clinic are preparing for the first uterus transplant ever performed in the u.s. the surgery will allow a woman who doesn't have a uterus, had it removed or suffered uterine damage to become pregnant. eight women from around the country have already started the screening process to become the first patient. the uterus won't be removed after a woman had children so that she could stop taking powerful anti-rejection drugs. sweden the only country where the transplants have been successful so far. a new government study finds a significant jump in the number of children with autism. it finds that 1 in 45 american children are autistic. about 2.2% that works out to be. but researchers warn other studies find the disorder is less common. well, police are crediting a philadelphia convenience store clerk for helping end a kidnapping. something didn't look right to him when a man and woman went to use the atm. he confronted the man, sheltered the woman in the store, and then called the cops.

police say that the man had kidnapped the woman, a doctor, from a hospital parking garage and forced her to make withdrawals at atms. it's amazing how alert that attendant was to know that something is wrong. >> glad to know she is safe after all that. if you ask most traffic cops, and they'll tell you they have heard every excuse in the book when they pull drivers over. >> but when a northern california officer stopped this car, he hit a new one. why? this was one of google's driverless cars. it turns out the officer stopped the car, no, not because it was speeding, but because it was going too slow. 24 in a 35 mile-per-hour zone, causing traffic to back up. >> absolutely. so he -- didn't give him a ticket. >> google is going to have a ticket now. got to pay. coming up, just a couple of kentucky girls hanging out. >> i love this story. we're talking about jennifer lawrence and our own diane sawyer, the oscar winner, talks about her new attitude when it comes to hollywood. and the nation's newest medal of honor recipients simply selfless. but first, a chilly spot on

this army general has been removed from his post as top military aide to the secretary of defense. ash carter would only say there are allegations of misconduct against lieutenant general ron lewis. no word on what lewis might have done wrong. he has been reassigned while the army investigates. carter and lewis have worked together, though, for several years. a former army captain has been given the military's top honor not only for his extraordinary bravery, but for his personal sacrifice. >> he is known best by his friends as flow, but this morning the nation is calling him hero.

here is abc's megan hughes. >> reporter: as captain florent groberg received medal of honor, the 32-year-old who friends call flo had tears in his eyes. >> flo says that day was the worst day of his life and that is the stark reality behind these medal of honor ceremonies. >> reporter: for groberg, that day was august 12th, 2012 in afghanistan. he was leading a security detail escorting brigade commanders and an afghan general when he noticed a suspicious man walking backward. the former university of maryland track star acted quickly. >> flo sprinted toward him. he noticed an object under the man's clothing, a bomb. >> reporter: groberg and another soldier pushed the man away and to the ground where the bomb detonated. the action caused another suicide bomber's weapon to detonate prematurely. >> my job was simple, protect the principles. no matter the outcome. >> reporter: groberg's leg was severely injured, and four of his fellow soldiers died, though more would have been killed if groberg had not acted. >> he showed his guts. he showed his training. that's an american we can all be

gratful for. >> reporter: but it seemed it was the faces in the audience more than the president's words that moved him. >> i got four families that don't have a father, a son, a brother, you know. a husband. >> reporter: after the ceremony in appropriately gloomy weather, he paid tribute. >> this medal belongs to the true heroes who made the griffin, major gray, major kennedy, and al fatah who made the ultimate sacrifice. >> reporter: groberg says he'll try to be a better american for the rest of his life because of those four individuals. reena, kendis? >> he's got such a great story indeed. >> and he spent three years recovering from his wounds at walter reed medical center. and that's where he met the president. but these guys return home from the war and they still carry so much with them. and jack, our producer upstairs saying it's pretty incredible when he went to the podium to speak to the media that he remembered all four names and he honored them, of those who have fallen. >> i'm sure he lives with their memories constantly.

he is now medically retired from the army. >> what a true hero. well, coming up, the young actress making headlines for taking on hollywood's pay gap. >> "hunger games" star jennifer lawrence opens up to our own diane sawyer about the trap women everywhere are facing. you're watching "world news now." verywhere are facing. you're watching "world news now." tt2watv# 1d! bt@q*tl tt2watv# 1d!

okay. so she has made a name for herself on the big screen of course as a warrior. and now she is making headlines off the screen as an activist. >> we're talking about "hunger games" star jennifer lawrence, bucking the system that made her a star. as she tells our own diane sawyer, she is taking a stand for women everywhere. >> reporter: jennifer lawrence, a dazzling hybrid. young, irreverent, and a hollywood powerhouse. the final episode of thehunger game mockingjay part 2 is about to arrive. she is katniss, the embodiment of strength in the face of fear.

offscreen, lawrence herself has been making news in a kind of warrior challenge all her own. when hacked e-mails about her movie "american hustle" revealed that she was paid less than her male costars, she wrote about it saying if she was honest with herself it was partly because she had fallen into a trap that women face, not wanting to seem difficult or spoiled, while men don't have to care. >> i felt like i -- i had to say something. because we need to talk about it. on average, women are paid 21% less than men. we can ask for the same exact thing that men do. and we do face the reality that we do get judged more. >> reporter: now several of her co-stars are speaking out for her, adding to the chorus of voices speaking for women everywhere. >> i would just hope that there is no longer a separation. oh, it's a female-driven movie. >> point down a little. >> reporter: we spent the day together.

>> reporter: we are two kentucky girls born 45 years apart, eating hometown barbecue in my kitchen. she also took me to new york's union square where ten years ago she was the new kid in town when a photographer wanted to take her picture and said okay. but she wanted more. >> i'm only going to sign in the modeling agency if they'll let me act. which came out of nowhere. >> you were already making demands. >> i was already negotiating. >> reporter: a young woman who is already leaving a legacy, as a girl who awakened a generation of tiny fans, showing them what it's like when you believe in yourself. >> it was so much fun watching her and diane together. >> two kentucky girls hanging out together there. >> i actually thought diane had great form by the way with that bow and arrow. >> absolutely. we should point out that the final chapter in "the hunger games" opens up on november 20th. and, you know, in that interview, which was really a wonderful interview, if you get a chance, go online and look at

it, jennifer lawrence says that she is just playing an actress on tv, but it really has impacted the lives of young girls all over. >> it's true. and women everywhere as well. and she is raising a very important issue. and a lot of times it takes someone from hollywood to say something for the rest of the world to sort of pay attention. it's great that she is using her star power for such a great cause. >> yeah, it is. of course she is an oscar winner. she won best supporting actress for "american hustle." we'll see how the hunger games beyond. >> are you a fan? >> i got into it after the first one. >> and she is an incredible actress, i have to say. i really enjoy watching her as well. >> and she is besties with amy schumer. >> yeah. >> coming up, what is happening at the box office this weekend? >> angelina jolie, brad pitt on the screen together. what diane keating is hoping will become the next christmas

it seems that every year, we have to watch out for different types of germs. which is why it's important for your wipes to kill a broad spectrum of germs. lysol wipes kill 99.9% of germs, including 8 different types of cold and flu viruses. to help protect your family... lysol that. that detergent was like half the price! and we'll have to use like double! maybe more! i'm going back to the store? yes you are. dish issues? get cascade complete. one pac cleans tough food better than 6 pacs of the bargain brand combined. cascade.

i asked my dentist if an electric toothbrush was going to clean better than a manual? he said sure. but don't get just any one. get one inspired by dentists. with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head cups your teeth to break up plaque and rotates to sweep it away. and oral-b delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. my mouth feels super clean. oral-b know you're getting a superior clean. i'm never going back to a manual brush. we've been changing things up with k-y love. oh yeah. it's a pleasure gel that magnifies both our sensations. it gives us chills in places we've never gotten chills before. yeah, it makes us feel like... dare to feel more with new k-y

so how ya doing? enough pressure in here for ya? ugh. my sinuses are killing me. yeah...just wait 'til we hit ten thousand feet. i'm gonna take mucinex sinus-max. too late, we're about to take off. these dissolve fast. they're new liquid gels. and you're coming with me... wait, what?! you realize i have gold status?

do i still get the miles? new mucinex sinus-max liquid gels. dissolves fast to unleash max strength medicine. start the relief. ditch the misery. let's end this. time now for our favorite segment of the week on insomniac theater, checking out two movies opening this weekend. >> first we start with a movie written by and directed by angelina jolie. essentially jolie's honeymoon project with co-star brad pitt. this is set in the 1970s. it's centering on an author with writers block and his former dancer wife. sullen and withdrawn, drawn with false eyelashes at a european

>> mr. and mrs. smith it ain't. jolie says at its core, it's a movie about grief, but it's apparently the audiences who will be grieving. rotten tomatoes is giving it a splat with a dismal 26% approval. and it's hard to find any critics who likes it. so get this. ap's jack coyle writes it's too languid and artfully accessorized to work as intended. and variety's justin chang is more pointed, calling it an unabashed vanity project that struggles to turn its own beautiful inertia into a virtue. >> well, i do like angelina jolie. >> i do. and i like brad. up next, on a much lighter note, what is trying really hard to be the next holiday staple.

"love the coopers stars diane keaton and john goodman trying to create the perfect christmas for their family. in typical fashion, the best laid plans fall comically short. case in point, daughter killing time in an airport to pick up a stranger to bring home. >> just be my boyfriend for one night. >> oh, no way. >> what are you going to do? there is no flights until morning. look at this. you're going to spend christmas by yourself eating dinner at wetzel's pretzels? >> all right, okay, stop, stop. >> you deserve a crazy pull out all the stops home-cooked meal, and i can guarantee you that. you would make my parents so happy. >> oh, something tells me he shows up. the star-studded cast including marisa tomei, alan arkin and the voice of steve martin apparently not quite enough to save this movie from itself. suzanne turner writes santa claus himself would walk out of the theater angry enough to wage his own war on christmas. but in a glimmer of hope, john hartle writes it may be too willing to jerk tears, but its heart is in the right place. >> ouch. >> that's the news for this half
