even a medal. he would barely get out of the pool. he has won medals, including 14 gold in every olympic race since 2000, until today. a tweet from the winner, thanks to my fans. this gold was for lochte nation. and from phelps, congrats to ryan lochte. way to keep that title in the country where it belongs. adding not pleased with my race tonight at all. but tomorrow is a new day and a new race. meanwhile an american upset in archery. the u.s. team knocking out the once unbeatable south koreans, and coming oh, so close to gold, only to be knocked down to silver by an italian that hit bull's-eye. in qualifying it was a wobbly start for the u.s. women's basketball team, winner of four golds in past olympics, the team struggled against croatia finally dominating in the last quarter. u.s., 81, croatia, 56. for the americans, these are moments they'll never forget. >> this is a special once in a lifetime experience to go to the olympics. and cheer on your country. >> i think i'm rooting for the u.s. it's cool to see all of the other teams, all of the other flags, but i got the usa pride in me. i'm rooting for them. >> and a touching moment when the u.s. woman's soccer team defeated comia in a qualifying round. after scoring a goal, player megan rapinoe pulled out a note from her shoe with a birthday greeting for fellow player, ali kreiger, who was side lined due to an injury and sorely missed by her teammates. and the events to watch tomorrow, day two, basketball and gymnastics. sharyn. >> no shortage of drama. jeffery, thank you. >> republican presidential contender mitt romney was at the stadium after causing a firestorm with doubts about how well the london olympics could wo come out. tonight he's in israel hoping to turn the page. our david muir is with him. good evening, david. >> reporter: good evening from jerusalem. we landed here in israel a short time ago with mitt romney, as the foreign tour, his world audition continues. he'll meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he'll give a speech on the u.s. relationship with israel. and the romney campaign eager to put behind him the bumpy first stop in london. >> mitt romney arriving in israel, second stop in the overseas trip. and it comes after the olympic photo-op mitt romney's campaign was hoping for all along. romney and his wife ann at the opening ceremonies and romney cheering while watching men's swimming, hoping to put behind him the barrage of negative headlines. after he was asked whether the london games were ready? >> there were a few things disconverting. >> reporter: romney was unsure well the games would go, but the brits were sure and they let him know. the minister of the olympics, before the opening ceremony, when asked who would carry the torch -- >> who is it going to be, mitt romney? >> certainly not after today. >> reporter: but how much does angering the brits, angering leaders in london matter back home? in a razor thin presidential race. where vote ners key battlegrounds will decide the election. it was at the very least an unwelcome headline. for a candidate whose sole purpose here is to look ready for the job. battleground ohio, romney causes international stir. florida, romney struggles to stem his own olympics fallout, and pennsylvania, the headline "foreign stumble." >> you have to shake your head. >> reporter: even members of the republican establishment acknowledging a missed opportunity. >> it was a great opportunity for him to talk about his experiences, instead, he made a comment that the brits took as an insult. >> reporter: but tonight romney is looking to move past it. now here in israel after argue back home that president obama has not been a strong enough partner with israel, a senior adviser telling us that romney will not criticize the president while here on foreign soil, but that comes after romney snapped down with an israeli newspaper in london. reportedly saying if he is president, there will be no public denouncing of israel by the u.s. in the u.n. i believe that is the way to achieve real peace by working with israel, not creating distance between israel and america. >> the biggest thing he needs to do is finish this trip really strong, really well and demonstrate he can be seen as a leader on the global stage. not make another mistake. and not do something that looks like a laugh. >> again that meeting here in israel tomorrow, political observers say mitt romney needs to get through the rest of his trip in israel and poland without any missteps so he can get back to the u.s. and focus on the economy. sharyn i'll be sitting down with the governor tomorrow. we'll have the interview right here tomorrow night. sharyn, back to you. >> all right. thank you, david in israel tonight. we look forward to that interview right here on "world news" sunday night. also tomorrow on "this week" with george stephanopoulos. jonathan karl has an exclusive interview with former vice president dick cheney. what he says mitt romney should look for in a vice presidential candidate and his candid thoughts on sarah palin. we turn to an epic battle over the country's industrial power center, the city of aleppo. rebel forces have made great strides there, then braced for a government backlash. that's finally arrived. abc's alex marquardt has the details. >> reporter: a syrian newspaper warned it will be the mother of all battle. a showdown has been looming for days. opposition and assad forces massing around aleppo, syria's commercial capital. regime vowing to snuff out opposition fighters who captured territory. the bbc's ian pannell has been there. >> it's been an incredibly hot day in more ways than one. there's been constant activity. throughout the day, the sound of bangs through the air, explosions, not far from here. >> reporter: regime forces pounded the city with tanks and helicopter gunships. unverified video from today showed a fighter jet. the jet was used for the first time in battle this past week. the violence has sent residents fleeing their homes in droves. the united states has warned of a potential blood bath. >> this is the concern that we will see a massacre in aleppo and that's what the regime appears to be lining up for. >> the fighting in aleppo follows unprecedented clashes in the capital damascus. the rebels are clearly gaining in confidence but still hugely outmatched in terms of fire power. they know bringing the fight to syria's biggest cities, and capturing them would deal a deadly blow to the assad regime. sharyn. >> thank you, alex in turkey, tonight. and the deadly ebola virus is making a frightening comeback in uganda. 14 people, including 1 health worker have died in the kibaale district, 140 miles from the capital. the airborne virus spreads fast kills 90% of those who contract it, and there is no computer. we turn to the desperate search to identify what could be tens of thousand of people infected with the deadly disease. the alleged culprit a medical technician that worked in 13 hospitals in 8 states. david kerley joins us with all of the details. david. >> good morning. already more than 2 dozen cases of infection of hepatitis b have been traced to this man, according to law enforcement. because he's a traveling fill-in hospital worker, there's a fear that many more could have contracted this disease which could lead to serious liver problems. he's been called a serial infector, an unprecedented case. >> he has allege lid poisoned 30 people here in the state of new hampshire and we don't know the precise numbers elsewhere. >> reporter: that's because david kwiatwowski, a traveling medical technician, infected with hepatitis c. in new hampshire, he's charged with stealing drugs in a syringe, injecting himself, refilling the now contaminated syringe with another liquid which was then used on a patient. >> if he knew he was infected and put those needles on the shelf that's the definition of evil. >> reporter: the fear is he may have committed the same crime elsewhere. in the past 5 years, he's worked in 13 hospitals in 8 states, from maryland to arizona, georgia to new york. all scrambling to identify more potential victims of this frightening crime. in new hampshire alone. officials called 4,000 people to get tested. >> potentially i could be infected. the unknown is the scary part because you know there's some serious treatment. >> reporter: but a clinic scheduled this weekend is canceled. the state overwhelmed by the logistics of a case that left dozens knowing about serious health issues. >> reporter: when arrested, they think he may have been contemplating suicide. they saw a note there. it's may be difficult to trace the suspect to older cases, that's because, sharyn, after about a year, it mutates making it difficult to track. sharyn. sharyn. >> frightening stuff. thank you, david from washington tonight. and from colorado, we've learned a young man accused of the massacre at a movie theater reached out to a psychiatrist. tonight questions about what that doctor might have known. here's abc's clayton sandell. ♪ >> reporter: jessica ghawi went home one last time today to san antonio. >> jesse was a force to be reckoned with. she was a jolt of lightning, a whirlwind. >> reporter: one of today's three funerals for 12 lives cut short. >> you have a right to be advised of the charges. >> reporter: we now learned james holmes was a psychiatric patient while grad student at the university of colorado. his psychiatrist, lynne fenton is the director of the school's mental health services. she didn't answer when we knocked today. prosecution and defense teams are now fighting over a notebook that may reveal clues. holmes' public defender says it's confidence between doctor and patient. fenton never received the notebook, but experts say if holmes made specific threats, she had an obligation to report them. >> it's called a duty to warn or duty to protect. >> reporter: but there's always a chance holmes kept his alleged plan secret. >> it's possible the psychiatrist had very little information from james holmes at the time this happened. >> reporter: james holmes will be back in court monday. he's facing potentially hundreds of charges including 12 counts of first degree murder. 58 counts of attempted murder. two big questions will the prosecution eventually seek the death penalty against holmes and will he mount an insanity defense? sharyn? >> two big questions. thank you, clayton. now to congressman jesse jackson jr. he's been on a mysterious medical leave since june. we now learned he's been admitted to the mayo clinic for depression and gastro intestinal issues. his staff initially said he was suffering from exhaustion and mood disorder. his admission to the clinic for a gastro illness could be a complication. >> and we have a powerful victory in the battle against cancer to report. it's a new law that takes aim at deadly cancers in children. born out of the sorrow of one mother who lost her own child to the disease and in the hope that other mothers facing the same challenge will not lose theirs. here's abc's medical editor dr. richard besser. >> reporter: only one new drug for treating any kind of childhood cancer has come out in the past 20 years. so it won't be another two decades the creating hope act was signed into law. for children and families, it was a victory. molly ward who survived a rare form of pancreatic cancer. i met this adorable 9-year-old on capitol hill when she was lobbying for the bill. >> did you feel you were lucky? >> yeah, i actually got to get through cancer and not a lot of people do. >> reporter: jacob froeman is one child who didn't. he lived 10 1/2 years before a rare form of brain cancer cut his life short. the adult cancer drug, the only option for jacob, didn't help. in fact just made him sicker. the day after he died his mother nancy goodman, got to work. >> pharmaceutical companies don't have the opportunity to go into very small markets. so we created a big fat parrot. if a pharmaceutical company creates a drug for pediatric cancer or other disease, that company gets a voucher, an the voucher comes with speedier fda review of another drug. >> reporter: quicker review of any drug the company chooses, a drug for arthritis or heart disease can be worth millions to drug companies who have had little incentive to develop pediatric cancer drugs. for patients who represent less than 1% of all cancer cases. for goodman it's a legacy for her son who will never grow up. >> like every other child who -- every other parent, rather, whose child has died of cancer, we don't want to think our kids have died entirely in vein. >> giving hope other families won't have to wait 20 years for another cancer drug for kids. >> dr. richard besser, abc news, new york. >> good work,
