Found, that 6weekold baby. After an fbi investigation, now discovered safe and sound. Where they found her. All i want for christmas and christmas crunch time. The lastminute deals and apps to use to get the perfect and personalized present just in time for the holiday using only your phone. And good morning, america. Thank you so much for joining us on this thursday morning. Its great to have you, tom llamas, here with us. We want to get to that breaking news. A terrifying attack in australia. Thats right, amy. A driver rammed into a crowd of Holiday Shoppers during rush hour on a busy street in melbourne injuring more than a dozen people. Police have called it deliberate and that driver is under arrest along with another person and James Longman has the latest for us. Good morning, james. Reporter amy, good morning. Police are saying they still have no clear idea on motive, although the suspects Mental Health issues are being raised. Whatever his reasons, this is yet another deadly attack in a major western city. The white suv plowed through crowds as they crossed this busy street barreling across an intersection filled with pedestrians. At least 19 injured, several of whom who are in critical condition. A preschool age child rushed to the hospital with a head wound. At this stage we believe its a deliberate act. And i repeat that. At this stage, we believe it is a deliberate act. However, we do not know the motivation. Reporter witnesses say the suv ran through red lights, railed onto rail tracks before deliberately taking aim at those going about their day. I saw people running. Turned around. Saw people scattered on the road. Some were nonresponsive. He made a collision with the people but obviously a pole or curb and lost control of the vehicle and crashed. I saw a man getting arrested outside of the jeep, maybe 30 years old. Reporter they say the perpetrator is of afghan descent with a history of mental illness. One witness posting this. This is the man would rammed into pedestrians. It was one sole person in the car that was the driver. Thats the offender we have in custody. There was also another 24yearold male in close proximity around that time filming that incident with his mobile phone and had a bag with possession of knives in it and taken into custody to determine whether he was, in fact, connected with the incident. At this stage we dont believe that to be the case. Scary, obviously. Reporter the area still on lockdown. I heard what i thought was shots. I just ran straight through the crowd. Reporter a similar incident took place just around the corner from here in january. That killed six people. As a result concrete blocks were installed to prevent these car attacks, but they didnt manage to stop this one. Amy . James longman, thanks so much. Abc newss Aaron Katersky joins us from australia. Good morning to you, and tell us what the mood is like right now. Reporter good morning to you. Christmas falls at the height of summer so the crowds are thick christmas shoppers going till midnight in the days going up to the holiday because of the nice weather and whether or not this turns out to be terrorism or something else, it does bring back memories of an attack just before christmastime three years ago at a Lindt Chocolate shop when hostages were taken under siege. The building came under siege and people were on edge, and i think its those very memories this attack in melbourne brings back right here in sydney where the streets are still clogged with Holiday Shoppers toting gift bags as they go on about their night and its just the kind of thing that authorities across the u. S. And in europe and elsewhere have been warning about because of the heightened concerns regarding terrorism, christmas, isis propaganda, but here in sydney, there are still plenty of people on the streets even as it approaches midnight now. People are very mindful of what happened in melbourne, but still determined to going on about their day with the glittering lights and the streets, the christmas windows, although shoppers in short sleeves. I have to say, amy, there is no real worry here although people are telling me that they are worried that something may happen because they know as the counterterror chief for new south wales, the municipality in sydney has been telling them, another attack in inevitable. Aaron katersky, thanks so much from australia. People being mindful of what could still happen there. Tom. Amy, thank you. Back here at home, Law Enforcement is taking extra steps to keep everyone safe amid chilling new threats online. That recent attempt, and millions of americans on the move for the Holiday Season. Pierre thomas is in washington with the alert being sent out. Pierre, good morning. Reporter tom, good morning. Overnight, the department of homeland security, the fbi preparing to remind americans to be on alert. Federal Law Enforcement officials working on a new video which should be released soon encouraging vigilance this Holiday Season. A draft of a dhs fbi script says in part, as you travel, shop and gather to celebrate the Holiday Season, we ask you to stay alert. You play a Critical Role in keeping our nation and our neighborhoods safe. Even though there is no credible threat Law Enforcement officials are on guard after that recent vehicle attempt and attempted bombing in new york city. One source telling us new york city wouldbe bomber was motivated to attack times square during the Christmas Season because of isis call for holiday terror and just days ago the terror group sent posters depicting the Washington National cathedral on fire with a threat against new york as well writing, wait for us. We meet in new york for christmas soon. Tom. Americans have to stay vigilant. Thank you, pierre. Amy. Millions of americans are on the move this morning heading out for the holidays. Take a live look, in fact, at the roads out in new jersey, and then in chicagos ohare airport. So many people traveling as that storm moves across the country and you know ginger is tracking it all for everyone. Good morning, ginger. Good morning, amy. Up to 40 inches of snow fell in parts of montana, and the roads look like this. So that is not what you want to see when you are headed to grandmas house here, and you know what . It wasnt just there. Minot, north dakota, looked almost blizzardlike. You dont need that when thats running across highway 2 there. It wasnt officially blizzardlike. What i do want to show you where this tracks next. Traveling 80 or 90 through really tomorrow night, thats where you see that cold front come through. Dallas to memphis could see thunderstorms. Friday night in massachusetts, including bostons airport, including interstate 90 and some of 80, i would watch out the farther west you go for some of the icing to happen. So you could end up with 2 to 4 inches of snow in some places, but then a tenth of an inch of ice, and that could be a problem. Saturday night, new york and boston being rain and some in washington, d. C. And interior new england is where we end up with accumulating snow. Overall not a ton of White Christmas ahead, but a ton of cold which ill show you in a bit. Amy . Mother nature not cooperating. Ginger, thanks so much. All that weather playing a major role in holiday travel. 51 million americans expected to fly during the holidays as we showed you that line at chicagos ohare, the line is growing, and Abcs David Kerley is at Reagan National airport in d. C. Also busy, and see the lines right behind you. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, tom. Yes, absolutely. This is kind of the peak more the morning rush and folks have been getting in for their flights taking off this morning. Today and tomorrow the very busy days before christmas as folks try to get home for the holidays, about a 3. 5 increase in the number of travelers this year compared to last year, and, of course, the busiest places are going to be these tsa lines, in fact, tsa tells us theyre expecting about 20 more travelers coming through their spots. The busiest airports, guess it, atlanta, where we had the problem with the power outage earlier in the week and caused all the problems across the country. December 26th will be particularly bad there, the day after christmas. L. A. X. , plan for extra security tomorrow and more travelers could mean longer lines at the tsa security lines. Part of the reason are new requirements about electronic devices. Anything bigger than a cell phone has to be taken out, and you wont get that in the precheck line, but in the standard line, they may ask you to take it out of your bag, tom. If they dont, its because its being phased in, so dont be surprised if they dont waask y right away. That could have a major impact as well. David, we saw that wild headline about American Airlines and a scheduling glitch that left some flights without pilots over the holidays. Did they resolve that issue . Reporter yes, americas telling us they have using reserve pilots and the reason its kind of continued into the Holiday Season is that they have to sign them 24 hours before the flight, and they say its taken care of. All the airlines, tom, are worried about the weather, but so far as ginger showed us, it may not be that bad. Well see. Reserve pilots. Hope they have enough. David, thanks so much. Amy. From the airways to the highways nearly 100 Million People are expected to be traveling by road between this weekend and new years day. The worst of it expected today and tomorrow. Abcs eva pilgrim is out on the new jersey turnpike with an early look at conditions and some tips to avoid all the rush. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, amy. Get ready for traffic jams. More than 97 Million People are expected to be traveling on the roads this Holiday Season. Thats despite the fact that gas prices are slightly up this year, about 17 cents more to fill up this year than last year. Instead, we are expecting another record year with more people hitting the roads. Its up about 3 more people will be hitting the roads this year. You can see when you look at the traffic right now there are cars. This is normal morning traffic, but today is slated to be one of the busiest days on the roads. Tomorrow will be bad, as well, and if youre traveling in the afternoon, that is the tough time of day to travel. Expect to sit in traffic. The worst cities for traffic, new york, washington, d. C. , chicago and boston and the gridlock times pretty much that afternoon rush hour between 3 00 and 6 00. Amy. Sometimes even later. Eva, what about the best days to travel . Give us those days. Reporter well, the best days to travel are christmas and new years. So if you wait till everyone gets to where theyre going then you hit the roads, you wont have to deal with all the traffic. We appreciate it. Thanks, eva. Stay safe. Tom. New years day always a little tough to travel. Turning to other major headlines. President trump on the verge of signing that 1. 5 trillion tax overhaul, calling it a middle class miracle. But democrats strongly disagree. Our senior congressional correspondent, mary bruce, has the latest details on capitol hill. Mary, good morning. Reporter good morning, tom. Well, republicans are savoring this first big win calling it a Christmas Present for the middle class saying it will lead to Economic Growth and higher wages. But not everyone is convinced. This morning, republicans are riding high. Its always a lot of fun when you win. Merry christmas, america. Reporter this is also a political gift for republicans. At the white house they took a gleeful backslapping victory lap. Its been a year of extraordinary accomplishment for the trump administration. Something this profound could not have been done without exquisite president ial leadership. Reporter the president fist pumping as they fulfill their promise to overhaul the nations tax code. We are making America Great again. Reporter most americans will see a tax cut at first. But the individual tax cuts expire after eight years. While the large Corporate Tax cut from 35 to 21 is permanent but democrats arent convinced the big breaks to Corporate America will trickle down to middle america. According to our republican friends, tax cuts for the rich and the big corporations are the answer to our problems. Reporter over the next decade, the ultra rich are predicted to see their taxes go down while americans making 75,000 a year or less will see their taxes go up. The bill also gets rid of the Obamacare Mandate that all americans have insurance. The president is touting it as another victory. Obamacare has been repealed in this bill. We didnt want to bring it up. I told people specifically be quiet with the Fake News Media because i dont want them talking too much about it. Reporter now, polls show this bill is not popular, but republicans are confident that it will be. Once americans start to feel these changes in their wallet. Now for some that could happen as early as february. Other provisions wont likely be felt until 2019 once you file the 2018 tax returns. Tom. No doubt theyll campaign on this tax cut as well. Mary, we heard it there in your story. Republicans jubilant over that big win on the tax bill, but there is also a looming and possible government shutdown. Reporter House Republicans met last night over a burrito dinner to hash out a plan forward. It seems their current strategy is to fund the government just until the middle of next month. Punting those tricky political debates until further down the road, but its unclear if there is enough support to get this done. Bottom line, there is no agreement, and the clock is ticking. They have until midnight friday. Tom. Well wait and see. Mary, thank you. Amy. As we heard President Trump praising at t for promising to share the wealth from the Corporate Tax cut with their workers and other companies are doing the same. Our business and chief economics correspondent, rebecca jarvis, is here with more. Good morning. Amy, good morning to you. Yes, a number of companies have rushed to announce special bonuses and wage hikes in the aftermath of the tax bill like at t which says those 1,000 bonuses will go to all 200,000 of its Union Represented nonmanagement and front line managers and says if the president signs the bill before christmas, employees will receive the bonus over the holidays. Comcast is also paying out 1,000 bonuses to 100,000 nonexecutive employees. Banks, wells fargo gone and fifth third say theyll raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour and fifth third is throwing in a 1,000 bonus to employees. I bet a lot are saying what are you going to do for me . What are other ways some companies are investing these tax returns and tax dollars they are getting back . Boeing also came out with its own message and say they will spend 300 million of the tax savings on things like workplace training, including 100 million in employee training and education, 100 million to enhance bowing facilities. A number of companies have said theyll put it into share buybacks and it would benefit shareholders. Rebecca, thank you so much. This sounds like good news. Now to some breaking news just in. That baby who was kidnapped in texas taken from her home has now been found. Abcs marcus moore is in houston with the latest developments on this story. Marcus, what a relief. Reporter amy, good morning. This is the outcome everyone was praying for. The Houston Police say they found this little girl safe at an apartment complex on the citys southwest side overnight. Police department announcing that they have found 6weekold Shamali Flores in an apartment complex in southeast houston and she appears to be unharmed taken to the hospital as a precaution as you know shes been at the center of a massive search since tuesday afternoon when her mother was found stabbed to death in her houston apartment. Im going to miss her. She is not here suffering anymore. Reporter a Family Member found her body, and called for help. I pray they find this baby. Reporter the response abduction team aided in the search. Police used blood hounds, and scoured the neighborhood for the little girl. Police issued an amber alert, and told the public to be on the lookout for anyone who might be trying to pass the baby off as her own. Think of somebody that has a child. Reporter the baby was checked into the hospital this tomorrow as a precaution. The police have urged the public to help them as they searched for this little girl. This happened in a neighborhood of immigrants and the police chief was begging people to come forward with information saying their immigration status would not be an issue. They were successful in finding this little girl in the southwest side of the city. There are so many questions about why her mother was killed, and who was responsible. We certainly hope to learn more from police as they continue to investigate this case that has had people concerned not only here in houston, but across the country. They are glad this little girl is safe. Amy. Great work by police. Thank goodness they found her. Good work. Back to weather and the official start of winter, ginger .

Great photos, huh . All right, first this half hour we want to turn to a big story, Mckayla Maroney suing usa gymnastics. She says the organization tried to buy her off with a secret settlement reportedly worth more than a Million Dollars. Why . To silence her after she accused former Team Doctor Larry Nassar of repeated sexual assault. Abcs linzie janis is here now with the details. Linzie, good morning. Reporter good morning, tom. She says she signed that after years of sexual abuse and psychological trauma. Her lawyer says it was illegal and she will no longer stay silent. She is the gold medalwinning gymnast famous for her nearperfect vaults at the olympics. Unbelievable reporter Mckayla Maroney along with fierce five teammates ali raisman and Gabby Douglas have said they were abused by former team doctor, larry nassar and this morning maroney is suing her saying they gave her a settlement to keep the sexual abuse quiet. The truth is my client was molested by him not once but 50 or 100 times by insisting as a condition of paying her money for therapy and the suffering shes incurred that she has to keep Larry Nassars secret and she has to keep usa gymnastics secret is repugnant. Reporter she signed it reportedly worth more than a Million Dollars in late 2016 but her lawyers now say its nondisclosure clause is illegal in california because it involves the sexual abuse of a minor. Marro marroney also accuses usa gymnastics, the u. S. Olympic committee and others of covering up his conduct as part of a culture and atmosphere that conceals known and suspected sexual abusers. In 2015 when usa gymnastics admits that they became aware that he had molested girls, they didnt call child protective services. He was allowed to stay in the treatment room and treated dozens and dozens of little girls over the next year. Reporter maroneys teammate ali raisman spoke but the abuse. I think its important for people to know, too. Im still trying to put the pieces together today. You know, it impacts you for the rest of your life. Reporter maroney was in Court Earlier this month when nassar was sentenced to 60 years for child pornography charges. Guilty as stated, your honor. Reporter nassar also pleaded guilty to seven counts of Sexual Misconduct is being sued by more than 140 women who say he sexually abused them. Usa gymnastics tells abc news the settlement with maroney think was in accordance with state law. The u. S. Olympic committee is denying any involvement. Maroney could be sued for speaking out . Thats right. Her lawyer says she is doing this even though she is worried she could be sued. The agreement essentially protected an alleged pedophile. In exchange revictimized her by requiring her silence. Revictimizing her. Definitely speaking out now. Thanks so much. Amy . Tom, to the scandal that rocked the figure skating world back in the headlines. I sat down with Tonya Harding for a candid interview about the attack on her competitor, Nancy Kerrigan just weeks before the 94 winter olympics, an incident still drawing intense interest nearly a quarter of a century later. Do you still care what people think about you . No. Yes. I mean, i care but i dont care. Youve said this, that 23 years later there are still people who believe that you actually carried out that whack. Yes. Why do you think that is . Because they dont listen. The media had me convicted of doing something wrong before i had even done anything at all. Im always the bad person. Is it a challenge from the lord to see how far i can be pushed until i break and become nothing . You cant push me that far anymore because ive been nothing and ive been nothing several times. But its my faith in myself and my father that comes back to me and makes me get back up off my butt and be something worth being proud of. I always wanted my daddy to be proud. And now i want my son to be proud. She is a very proud momma. She is so happy with her life as it is right now.

Were talking dinners, wine tastings, concert ticket, spa certificates, music lessons, i can go on and on but an experience, amy, is a gift that keeps on giving. Im a big fan of the experience gift. Also, maybe im a big fan of procrastinating too. Im in luck i noticed yesterday in some lastminute shopping i was doing online, there are deep discounts going on. There are discounts happening. Theyre talking about early afterChristmas Day sales, but its hard to see that combining with expedited shipping to actually be a deal.

James, good morning. Reporter good morning, tom. Police have declared a Major Incident and are calling this a deliberate act, although they say there is no connection to terrorism at this stage. You can see the suv sitting on the side of the road. Its thought the driver sped through red lights and across those rail lines before plowing into pedestrians in the intersection. Witnesses say he appeared to speed up as he did so. We know 19 people are injured. 4 among them are in critical condition. One was wrestled to the ground. The perpetrator a 32yearold understood to be suffering from Mental Health issues. A similar incident took place in january in the city where six people were killed. Authorities installed concrete blocks to prevent similar attacks but dont seem to have made a difference here. Tom. Well stay on top of this story. James, thanks very much. Amy. Thank you, back here at home as millions of americans get ready to travel for the holiday, there are new concerns now about the flu. The cdc has issued a health alert, 12 states are now facing widespread flu activity and our dr. Jennifer ashton is here with more on this. I am listening. These are the new numbers. You saw the map of confirmed cases. There is also widespread flulike activity so this represents unconfirmed cases. We do expect this to go up and global numbers of flu estimates, higher than previously thought. Well over half a million estimated flu deaths in the world every single year representing a significant Public Health issue. A very serious issue and a lot of people, as you know, are traveling this week for Christmas Holiday so getting on planes. I always feel like i get sick on planes. What can people do . When they want to help prevent flu. Heres really important information. The flu virus is known to be airborne and can spread from three to six feet from a person who is sick, and that is not just with coughing or sneezing. That is also with breathing and talking. So if you are sick and it is possible, stay home. Hand hygiene is very, very important. Coughing and sneezing into your arm. Those masks you see, in airports, controversial as to whether or not they reduce transmission. Basically just washing your hands. Good hygiene and holding your holding of the breath. If its possible to stay home, stay home. I cant make a house call to everyone. Even though the vaccine thought to be only 10 effective, 10 is better than nothing. But the numbers are expected to go. Jen ashton, thank you very much. Coming up next here, a very royal christmas. The new engagement photos of prince harry and Meghan Markle. Plus, how they are celebrating with the queen.

Reporter Meghan Markle and prince harry just might break the internet today after releasing their official enga engagement photos. The pictures share on twitter show them cuddling up and showing off that Engagement Ring as she prepares to become the first fiancee to attend the royal familys traditional Christmas Celebrations. People at sandringham tend to be Close Friends of the queen. I think the invitation for meghan shows that the queen is someone who loves her grandson very much and wants him to be happy. Reporter the queen kicked off the festivities with her annual prechristmas lunch at Buckingham Palace. The purpose is to have more extended members of the family who wont join her at sandringham together for a christmas gathering and would have been the first time the many extended members would have met meghan. Reporter but meghan looked calm as she arrived with harry, sporting 5,000 diamond drop earrings and a glimpse of the outfits 240 black and white dress from selfportrait sold out online in just minutes. William and kate also joined the queens lunch after releasing their Christmas Card earlier this week, and announcing charlotte would start Nursing School next year. As they prepare to head to the estate meghan may have at least seven holiday outfit changes as she joins the royals for the celebration. They gather for a big blacktie dinner an Christmas Eve and not Christmas Day and the tradition is to give her joke presents. Shell walk with the royals to church on christmas morning. Heres hoping the weekend goes as smoothly as christmas lunch did. Meghan reportedly jumped right into british tradition by reading a corny joke and everyone apparently found her delightful which, by the way, if that is the criteria for a royal, im ready. Corny jokes. Thanks so much. We want to go to our incredible reunion, what if you knew you had a long lost sibling set out to find them and then discovered they lived just 15 minutes away. Well, that happened to two young men separated more than 20 years ago. They have reunited not just as brothers but also as classmates. We are going to speak to those brothers in just a moment live. First take a look at their journey. Reporter Kieron Graham was just 3 months old when he was adopted. He began to wonder about his biological family. Eventually his adoptive mother buying him an ancestry dna kit as a christmas gift. Through dna testing, he learned he a likely brother, a 29yearold named Vincent Ghant and connecting via facebook. Kieron writing this is going to sound so wild but i think youre my brother. Vincent replying, omg yes. You are my brother. His mother put him up for adoption at three months, in hopes of giving him a better life. He wanted him to have a better life and the pair and their families meeting. The long lost brothers discovering some things are genetic and attend the same university and have the same major and minor and are fans of the same football team, the atlanta falcons. On sunday tweeting, watching the game with my brother for the first time, every little thing is cool. Look who we have here, vincent and kieron. Good morning. Thanks for being here, guys. Good morning. [ applause ] kieron, your reaction finding out your long lost brother just 15 minutes away. I was super surprised. I was amazed. I didnt know what to think. I had so many emotions running through my head. I was just super excited to finally get to see what he looked like. Talk to him on facebook. Know you could visit at any time because you were so close and, vincent, i cant imagine your reaction when you get this message saying, hey, i think you might be my brother. I was in disbelief and it was a very surreal moment, and it took awhile for it to set in, and, you know, as the conversation progressed, it finally hit me. This is really my brother. And it was amazing. Ah. Its such a beautiful thing to see the two of you together. Kieron, what was it about now, this point in your life that made you want to find your biological family . Id always been interested in getting to know them. My parents growing up were open with my adoption so a few weeks ago my adopted mom bought me a dna test kit and last tuesday i got the results and was looking through and i saw i recognize the his name and looked him up on facebook and there he was and i was just like, wow, finally after, you know, 20 years of, you know, thinking about it, there he was. I just got chills because when you saw each other was there recognition on a dna level basically. For sure, yeah. It was like looking at a mirror when we first met. And, vincent, you were nearly 9 when kieron was born. Do you have memories of him as a baby . Almost certainly. My vivid memory is seeing a baby smile for the first time and it was him and helping my mom take care of him and she was a single parent at the time, and we didnt have much support, so i remember, you know, making models, and helping my mom change diapers and playing with him a lot, and so it was a great experience. When you all first met again because you obviously had met at one point, you dont remember. You do, vincent, what was your initial reaction . Was it just was there any awkwardness . Was there just love, a connection . You know, like i saw him walking up to me and he called my name and we stared at each for, like, 10 or 15 seconds like this is real, and we approached each other and give each other a hug, and probably shed a few tears and walked into a local place and just talked for a few hours. Whats amazing is that you both is it kennesaw state. Yes. Youre both at the same college. I hail from georgia. There are a lot of universities you could go to. The fact you are both at the same college. You have the same major and the same minor. Yep. [ laughter ] yeah, what are you majoring and minoring in . Thats pretty remarkable. Political studies and science. That came up so we were just like, wow, were the same person. This is crazy. And you both like the atlanta falcons. We love the atlanta falcons, yes. Tell me youre going to root for the georgia bulldogs. In the rose bowl, right . We have to stick together. We need everyone rooting for us. What is next for you two . Just getting to know each other more, talking about life and, you know, experiencing things we havent gotten to experience for the last 20 years. Oh, yeah. Just creating a stronger bond and taking this relationship to the next level, let it blossom to something bigger. Our families have become huge because of this so last week, you know weve been inseparable. I saw him probably nearly every day. So great youre so close and more people to love. What an Incredible Christmas gift. Thank you so much. We wish you the very best. [ applause ] oh. Warms your heart, ginger. Even in this cold weather. That was a perfect gma moment, and now it is time for your gma moment, and we have to head to grand forks, north dakota, where this morning the temperature is 6 below but you wouldnt know it. Look at gavin. It wasnt this morning he was doing it. He is ringing that bell giving people a little show for the Salvation Army and saying id put so much money in the bucket when 5yearold gavin is dancing like that. His mom says hes usually shy but, huhuh. You wont know it because hes doing it for a cause. We love that. Please send your gma moments to my facebook page. Anything that makes you smile or laugh and we hopefully will get you on tv. Good morning. Im abc7 news meteorologist mike nicco. Our day with the least amount of sunshine is upon us. Freezing cold tonight and tomorrow night and dreaming of a quite christmas . Its possible. Todays temperatures, 55 to about 60 degrees. For tonight, you see 30s about everywhe everywhere, 20s in our deepst inland valleys, 40s for warm spots along the coast into San Francisco. It will get warmer through the weekend an and now to winter wellness skin care solutions. Chapped lips, cracked heels. Were all feeling it. Cold and dry air can take their toll. Board certified determine toll swiss and my friend dr. Whitney bowe to help us with homemade remedies. Almost everything youre about to show us we have in our home already and well start with the face. Or the grocery store. Or store. You can get it easily. Face, people this time of year get dry patches and overall dull complexions. Those are the common skin conditions. So i brought my favorite mask recipe and this is an avocado yogurt mask and the heroine is the yogurt. It contains probiotics but also lactic acid which is a natural exfoliant and sloughs away dead skin cells and gives you back that healthy glow. Take a half an avocado and mash it with the back of a fork and two teaspoons of honey and add one single serving full fat plain greek yogurt and mix it together. We have got our audience member, sara over here applying it to her face right now. Sara will leave that on for about 15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water, pat dry with a clean towel and put on moisturizer. It gives you that georges glow. And then eat the rest. Lets do lips. They are separate and this is a different treatment. And chapped lips. I love honey for chapped lips. It acts as a humectant. So you just use a little warm water, dampen the lips and spread honey. I love manuca honey. It shows it has a potent wound healing and antiinflammatory property in it and put a coat of vaseline so you dont lick off the honey and seal it in. Leave it on 20 minutes. Ideally overnight. Its amazing for chapped lips all winter long. And your sweetie gets a soft kiss. With petroleum jelly. Inside out. Stwls there is something that you can eat. A couple of things you can eat for hydration. We all know drink plenty of water. But there are new studies emerging showing that actually healthy fats can help hydrate the skin from the inside out so you want to look for things like walnuts and avocados, salmon, flaxseed. Those healthy fats keep the skin cells plump and supple but dont forget your yogurt and kefir so fermented foods rich in probiotics great for the skin, like lactobacillus rolls off the tongue. Its in these foods, and its been shown to actually help strengthen the skin barrier, and trap moisture in the skin. Wow. Fats, probiotics. Like what you put on your face you could eat. Last one, i feel like im turning into my mother. Of course, we all do. Feet, so dry. So my favorite recipe for cracked heels, a couple of drops of lavender oil mixed in with coconut oil and put it over your feet and throw on a pair of cotton socks, it will just heal those heels overnight. Itll be all better. See, mom, we have a solution. Thank you so much, dr. Bowe. Wasnt that great . Easy to find all those. Were not done, coming up, will smith will take us inside his next movie next. So youll want to stay with us right here on gma. Im taking all of it and hydrate. Your gma moment brought to you by the frame, samsung, the most beautiful tv youve never seen. Hi. Good morning. Im Jessica Castro from abc7 mornings. All lanes of southbound 880 in oakland have reopened following a deadly crash earlier this morning. It involved a fed ex truck. And we want to get an update from sue hall. Hi, sue. Good morning, jess. Good morning, everyone. Thats the good news. The bad news is theres still quite a bit of delay across 880 both north and southbound. But, yes, lanes are open and that should be recovering shortly, no long err sigalert. 580, your alternate route there not much better. If youre trying to get to the oakland airport, your best bet would be to go 580 to 98. Then we still have the sigalert on the coast. Both directions are getting through with Traffic Control near devils slide and the tunnel. Jess . Good morning. Chill still in the air pap lot30s and 40s out there. Still freezing cold in santa rosa, 32, warmest in San Francisco at about 48. Your commute planner, everything is green. Tomorrow morning, look at this. Away from the coast in San Francisco, freezing cold from 1 00 to 7 00. Gets a little warmer by sunday. Jessica . Okay, mike. Thank you. Well have another abc7 news update in about 30 minutes and always on our news app and abc7news. Com. Have a great morning. Welcome back to good morning america. We have someone hooping and hollering here. I hear a lot of whoohoos. Adrienne, you were kicking things off with a look at a will smith and Joel Edgerton new netflix movie called bright and really mixes reality with fantasy in an unusual way. Its an insane mashup. Ill just say thatch the way the movie came about netflix wasnt even a contender and will smith said they sent it to all the studios and netflix put more money behind it than anyone in hollywood in another move to put the Silver Screen in the palm of your hand. Get out of this neighborhood. Reporter bright is big and bowl and unlike anything youve ever seen. Give me one word to describe the movie bright. Bizarre. Twisted. Reporter it merges the world of medieval fantasy and police drama. When you talk about this movie, yes, there will be fairies and there are going to be elves and a magic wand. And a magic wand. And the lapd. If you imagine the creatures from lord of the rings, 4,000 years ago and they came forward into modern day and now were in modern day los angeles but theres that. The first ork. I have to google ork. A mythical goblin or ogrelike creature. The first ork to be allowed l on the nypd. Reporter his transformation takes three hours of makeup every day. Everybody is trying to get along. Smith is touched by the message about the world we live in. Im a black Police Officer in the movie but my character is racist against orks. Sort of a flip of social hierarchy. A fairy tale that allows you to talk about stuff that we dont like to talk about or we dont talk about enough in terms of how we treat other people in society. We just have to treat each other nicer. Reporter the most expensive ever made by netflix cost 90 million to make. It may be precedent setting in how we go to the movies. This could be the new way you could watch it in a theater or from the comfort of your own home. I remember when i went from fresh prince of belair, the weekend that Independence Day came out staying in a hotel and friday, will, will, and after end pen dense day that monday was the first time somebody called me mr. Smith, right . You graduated. So theres something about that Silver Screen that definitely does something inside of people. Unrelated to the movie, is the story about you andjada going on a cajun swamp tour with Tiffany Haddish thats 100 true. I got me a groupon to go on this swamp tour. On a groupon. Yeah. The cajun swamp tour was fantastic, though. She was driving strangely. Ives on the Steering Wheel ike this. I was trying to get away and tiff knows how to create environments. Thank you for joining our environment. Thank you so much. Thank you. The one thing i would have done besides ago for more details on that tour is have will and joel freestyle a rap about it because smith has become synonymous with summertime and here come the men in black but theyve got a great soundtrack and featuring future and so many other artists out in theaters and netflix tomorrow. Could be a trio. Youve got a nice voice. I picked up on that. All part of the album. A sprinkle of that. We have an update on our 11th am warm hearts drive.

Her generosity inspiring so many and prompting burlington to give 500 coats to the charity of her choice. Its so warm and its pretty. Reporter in new york city donations being handed out to evacuees of hurricane maria. Including jonathan and dianitza coming from puerto rico getting accustomed to the new york winter.
