He has been very threatening, beyond a normal statement. And as i said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. Reporter this dramatic escalation of rhetoric all the more alarming given the latest extraordinary intelligence assessments of north Koreas Nuclear capabilities. First reported in the Washington Post and confirmed by abc news, u. S. Intelligence analysts believe the north can now produce a miniaturized Nuclear Warhead that can fit inside its missiles, including its intercontinental ballistic missiles. Kim jong uns claim that he was standing next to such a Nuclear Device last march was met with some skepticism, but this latest intelligence assessment says he has indeed produced that device. This is the most momentous day in his nuclear program. Reporter just two weeks ago kim tested an icbm into space, going higher, farther than ever before. But analysts say if the missile trajectory was lowered the missile could potentially reach the east coast of the united states, including new york and washington, d. C.

Reporter some critics calling it career suicide. She faced lots of backlash for performing. Are you still proud that you did it . I am still proud because i now get to tell myself my name goes down on that long historical list of people who sang at the inauguration. It was a huge honor and just an experience im never going to forget. And the home of the brave reporter many of her fans wont forget either, some vowing not to forgive. Do you think the backlash has affected your singing career . I think that it has affected certain things like my fan base because of where i stand politically. Do you solemnly swear reporter the criticism even got personal. Much of it stemming from the trump administrations early record on gay rights. Stay the night which some argue puts the teenager at odds with her own transgender sister, juliet. It got really mean. People were saying that i was a word i cant say live because i chose President Trump over family supposedly because of the whole lgbtq controversy. Reporter people were that vicious. Yes. Well, seeing my sister go through all of the hate mail, it broke my heart because the way jackie looked at it it was nothing political. Reporter that backlash documented on tlcs new special about the family, growing up evancho. Dear jackie, i really admire your angelic voice but im deeply troubled by your associations. Shes got to be careful. You cant not stand up for what you believe in because youre afraid youre not going to sell another album. [ bleep ] no. Reporter its an up close look at a thoroughly modern family, spotlighting jackies singing career. Standing on stage, its definitely an escape. Reporter and juliets transition. Ever since i was little, ive always known that i was a girl. The only problem was my body didnt match my brain. Reporter two teen girls finding their way. Youre 17. Youre 19. Starting to get personal. Are we dating . Do we have boyfriends . We have boyfriends. We have boyfriends. I didnt think i would ever be in a good relationship, and i never thought that a boy would see me for who i really am. A lot of people always come up to ask her, are you gay, are you straight, are you bi, or what are you . And i have finally just deemed the term julietsexual. So it basically kind of means im with juliet. You can take that at its worth, and i dont care what you think about that. So you do all your recording in here, right . Yeah. When we last met the evancho family, my colleague juju chang met up with both sisters. Thats dream with me. So these are singles . Just days before jackie took the stage. The storm of controversy already brewing. I am doing this for my country. I support my sister 100 , and i think its a shame that this has people questioning that. Reporter her sister juliet was preparing for her own milestone. Normally, wed go out and support jackie. But this is a big moment for juliet. Were just going to have her srs procedures done, sex reassignment surgery. Reporter mom lisa would be with juliet at the hospital. And the rockets red glare while dad mike and the two younger children would go to d. C. To cheer on jackie. Ever since she first came out ive always been really excited for this day for her. So i guess we both just wish we could be there for each other. Youre getting tearyeyed. Yeah. Why . Because i love her. Shes my sister. And im happy. Youre happy for her. Yeah. Reporter a lot has changed in six months. Jackie has since released an album. Juliet is an activist. But politics still seem to get in the way. Im actually really excited to meet senator casey. Yeah. I mean, its going to be such a big deal because were going to like help people. I dont know if im going to do it yet. I havent made my decision completely. Are you kidding . No. I just need more time to think. It would help a lot of people. I know, juliet. Thats why i want to do it. But i have to take other things into consideration. Do you worry about being political . There are things that i have to worry about because my singing is like my family business. And as much as i wish i didnt have to, i do have to just consider what i say because some people can take it the wrong way and turn it into something it isnt. Reporter but what they do agree on, standing up against President Trumps recent transgender military ban. Candidate trump said he was supportive of lgbtq rights, and now President Trump has tried to remove protections for transgender people for bathrooms and for military service. What do you make of this . I try my best not to think about it too much even though i i mean, i have to. Because its personal for you. Exactly. I want everyone to just be happy and feel equal. Going through the lawsuits with my school district, it was heartbreaking. Knowing that people still dont see me and so many other people in my community as normal people who can fight just as hard in the military, who are just going to the bathroom. They make it this big issue. And theres no reason for it. You both said that you wanted to speak with President Trump about transgender children, people. What do you want to say to him . We really just need to fix it. Things need to be equal for everybody. You cant exactly be comfortable and happy in your own skin when you have all of these restrictions on things everybody should have. Your rivalry kind of comes out. Reporter they are sisters who have each others back but who re mind us that in the end i think the best part about our family is were not afraid to be who we are. Reporter they are simply just another family. When you talk about your fan base, you know, you lost some, youve gained some, what do you want your fans to know about your life . Everything that i do i take seriously. And there are reasons that i have that theyre not always going to understand. And i will never turn my back on my family no matter what. Theyre number one for me. I would give up my career in a heartbeat for them. Reporter for nightline im Deborah Roberts in new york. Up next the story of diana. Those closest to the princess revealing details of her family life behind those palace walls. T and diarrhea. I tried Lifestyle Changes and overthecounter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. It turns out i have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea, or ibsd. A condition thats really frustrating. Thats why i talked to my doctor about viberzi. A different way to treat ibsd.

Pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. If you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation.

And yet nearly 20 years after her death we continue to learn more and more about Princess Diana. Heres abcs James Longman. Reporter before she became the peoples princess she was just diana. My earliest memories of her, she always had a sort of natural star quality. She could strike a pose in clothes she had borrowed from my eldest sister. When diana was a little girl, she starts to realize how people fall in love with her. She was one of those children that goes into the room and everyone is charmed by her. Reporter this rare footage part of the story of diana, a new documentary celebrating her life and mourning her loss 20 years later. It was a fairy tale. It became a soap opera. And it ultimately became a tragedy. Reporter before reality television, before social media, she defined what it meant to be a modern celebrity. Can you describe what people call the diana phenomenon . When she walked into a room, she lit the place up. More than any other royal ive ever experienced. Reporter at just 20 years old she married the future king in what many called the wedding of the century. It was a Global Television event. 1 6 of the world watched live. Diana dazzled the world as the new royal princess. But it was her human, common touch that set her apart. Well, wed had royal walkabouts before. The queen was pretty good at doing them. In new zealand she mingled with her subjects. When she does a walkabout its sort of staying back from the crowd. She wont go right up to the barrier and reach in. Shell stand back and shell extender arm out and take some flowers. It would be very im here and youre there. With diana it was completely different. If there was a small child with some flowers, diana would go down low to the childs level. Reporter her willingness to break from tradition was no different when she became a mother, as chronicled in the film. May we see your son, your Royal Highness . In the past royal children were confined to nurseries, looked after by nannies. Diana didnt want that for her children. Reporter ken wolf, Princess Dianas former bodyguard, saw firsthand how she stepped outside traditional royal boundaries. She was fun. And she was very keen to break the rulebook here in terms of royal children. They would come back completely buoyed up having had a great afternoon with their mates at a burger bar. Covered in barbecue sauce. Exactly. The prince would say where have you been . Weve been to a great burger bar in kensington high street. Their mother would stand there laughing. Hes say why . We have a perfectly good chef. Didnt get the point. But for diana it was the point, of what other people did. Reporter with cameras constantly following, she was fiercely protective of her boys. In the film we see the princess pleading for a moment of privacy on a ski vacation. As a parent could i ask you to respect my childrens space . Because i brought the children out here for a holiday. And wed really appreciate the space. I understand that. And im sure would it be possible to just get no. Reporter and behind the scenes drama of a different sort. A fight for Prince Charless heart with camilla parkerbowles, the woman he never gave up. Whav saw the princesss heartbreak up close. She did love the prince of wales. I could see the anguish. I could see the unhappiness. Reporter that strife played across millions of television screens. From the princes admission in an itv documentary it became irretrievably broken down. Reporter to dianas wellknown 1995 bbc interview. Well, there were three of us in this marriage. So it was a bit crowded. Reporter this interview the final straw for the monarchy. The queen has sent a letter to her son, Prince Charles and his estranged wife, diana, the princess of wales, asking them to get a divorce, and soon. Reporter but possibly, despite the wishes of the palace, diana remained in the spotlight. They kick you out, like theyre going to need a deep sea diver to find you. But nobodys going to play diana like that. Reporter continuing to use the attention to shed light on issues like aids, homelessness, and landmines. There would not be necessarily a George Clooney or an Angelina Jolie or this responsibility that celebrities feel to take the spotlight thats turned on them and turn it onto other causes. Reporter but the fascination also remained with her personal life. All the ironies about diana, perhaps the greatest was this. A girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was in the end the most hunted person in the modern world. Diana, the princess of wales, has just died. Reporter she was killed in a paris car crash after being chased by paparazzi. Ending her story midchapter. 20 years later Princess Diana has left an indelible mark in the public consciousness and on the royal family. She has transformed the monarchy, and i think prince williams reign as king after that of Prince Charles will be more of a diana reign than, say, an elizabeth reign. I love the fact that theres still such veneration inside her immediate family for what she was and what she meant. And i think thats fantastic. Reporter for nightline im James Longman in london.
