a symbol of isis after beheading 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 demonstratining a fak stabbing and asking how stupid are the people of iowa? plus, whwhat 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 ininstructor 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 woma >> 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 believeved 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 correspondentt brian rs 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 whe he appeared i 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

>> you have plotted against us and gone far out of your way to interfere in eastbound affairs. >> reporte 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 englan 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 as executioner, emwazi became one

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 art-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 easast thatou are going to do this, justice will be brought at some point. but fofor theseamilies, they're not getting their loved onenes 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 warar on isis. there will be other high value

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 years. until now, isis has not had a recognized affiliate in lebanon, but its forces are fighting in neighboring syria and iraq. surprising. an ohio man is under arrrrest 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 debabate. he joined the chorus of criticism over trump's promise to deport millions of undocumented immigrants. in an exclusive interview with abc's george stephanopopoulos, t president called the plan unrealistic and unamerican. >> donald trump is speaking about history. he wants to bring back operation wetback from president 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

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, detenon centers and then systematically sending them out. nobody thinks that this is realistic. but m 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 theheowerful 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 lotter players. in at least five years alone, mega millis players in s ins 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 someonenen michigan to buy the ticket? >> you can play -- well, mimichigan i 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. coming up, black friday is just two weeks away. so what's the world's largest retailer doing to make things a little easier on shoppers this year? also, up ahead we have m my section with the world's oldest yoga teacher. her life story will amaze and inspire you. we'll explain why she is called

teorist known as jihadi john. the masked man, a british citizen seen in videos beheading u.s. j journalis steven sotloff, james foley, and a number of overer hostag. >> jihadi john, his real name mohammed emwazi, he was tracked by the u.s. for mohs. he was targeted in a u.s. drone rike as he left a building and entered a vehicle in the isis stronghold of raqqah. that is in syria. one official telling abc news it was a a 100% dirt hit, and tha jihadi john basically evaporated. >> new details about the killing are still coming in this morning. abc news investigative producer james meek has b been workg 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. how long were they tracking hi and how does his death impact >> well, good morning, reena. john. his real name is mohammed emwazi. he was unmasked finally inin 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 m 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, evaporated. and on the impact, leaving his car in flames. >> okay, so james, we're getting that from one official. but t will the.s. ever have 100% confirmation that he is dead? and how will they possibly try to confirm this? >> well, they may not evever 100%, but they can come close, because they will be looking -- they'll be listening to the chatter of isis operatives, a as well a social media andther 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 hostageses called veral 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 ago. 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 underten to find and kill jihad john had been undertak

subsequently murdered by isis in a very high profile way over the past 14 or 15 months or so, that would have b been someing g she said was very small solace to learn that jihad john habeen 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 thk they're going to miss jihad john, but i think they would have preferred to get jim back alive. >> 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

had some explosive words for carson about his self-proclaimed troubled youth. trumpoked fun at carson's account of trying to stab as friend as a teenager, showing supporte 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 pathologicacal, 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 alstold the crowd at a rally in iowa that carson went into a bathroom and

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 write 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.

ho. good morning. this this morning, this moing on "world news now," breaking news. the u.s. targeting the man known to t the world as jihadi john. he was the masked man who became a symbol of isis after beheading

an american and other hostages. u.s. offials now presuming he's been killed in a drone strike. the breaking details from our brian ross team stight ahead. and donald trump on the attack, taki on his closest rival, d ben carson, even demonstrating a fake stabbingstupid are the people of iowa. plus, what trump thinks about carson's immigration plan. big questions in italy. are italian olive oil makers trying to fool when you it comes to what's in their bottles? exclusive. wel catch up with the world's oldest yoga instructor. she's 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. "world news now." >> good morning, everyone on this friday, the 13th.

>> areou feeling more zen? >> i do feel more zen. i walked away with life from this woman. of all the interviews've done, she's top tleempt transformed the way i think about life this woman. you're a big workout junkie. you would have had a tough time -- >> keeping up with the 93-year-old yoga instructor. >> yes. breaking overnight, the notorious terrorist known as jihadi john. he's believed to have been killed by a drone strike in syria. >> the kuwaiti-born killer seen in so many gruesomeeheading videos had been tracked by the u.s. for months. c's chief investigating correspondent, brian ross, has been following the story and has the latest now for us. >> reporr: 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 reatening 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 out of your way to find reasons to interfere in our affairs. >> reporter: one after the other, he presided over the murders of foley, steven sotloff and peter cassic, two britons and two japanese hostages. >> we'll cut the necks of your peop. >> reporter: earlier this year, his true identity was identified as mohammed emwazi. the son o kuwaiti parents who emigrated to the united kingdom. even as a schoolboy in london, emwazi 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'd find that he'd get very angrgry and worked up. it would take him a long time to calm himself down. >> reporter: flaunting his role as executioner once he joined isis with his piercing eyes and gravelly voice, emwazi became one of the world's moswawanted n. in a statement to abc news, the

foley said the streak against jihadi john -- air strike against jihadi john was of small soes as "it's unfortunate that the government doesn't get. it they think it gives us solace but it doesn't. brian red cross, abc news, new york. >> interesting to hear the comment. it is so heart wrenching for these families of the hostages. while it is a huge getor the u.s. government, they've put resources, wanted to get this man, because it also sends a message to other militants across the leaf that you are going to do this. juststice wilbe brought at some point. for tse 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. >> 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.

speaking of isis, it may have expanded its terror operations into lebanon with the 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 i lebanon, but its forces are fighting in nehboring syria and iraq. many say a spillover is not surprising. an ohio man is under arrest for the alarming way that he tried to help isis. 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 soon as he opened them and had names and addresses of service personnel. to politics, donald trump stepping up attacks on fellow front-runner ben carson. he said the pathologicalemper carson ascribed to himself in
