This morning, the Company Still hasnt commented on the crash that left even seasoned First Responders stunned. In my 40 years as a firefighter here in hawaii, this is the most tragic aircraft incident that we had. We had some helicopters with the military, but this is a civilian plane that went down and with that many people on board. Reporter and Officials Say they have identified the victims but arent releasing their names yet. The faa and the ntsb are now heading to the scene to investigate the cause of this deadly crash. Dan.

Severe weather, high winds, hail, power outages, even deaths, 300 damaging storm reports from South Carolina all the way up to colorado where it is snowing this morning on the first full day of summer, and rob marciano is right there.

This is a cold core system, even had thunder snow earlier. Its helping spawn those thunderstorms with damaging reports as you mentioned over 300 of them across the midwest and southeast including a 95mileanhour wind gust here in colorado.

Also flood alerts are up, significant rainfall with these systems over some saturated ground, more on this throughout the morning. Eva, back over to you. Thats not what you expect to see on the first full day of summer, rob. Well check back with you later. Now to the tensions between the u. S. And iran. The president explaining why he backed off a prepared strike and this as the faa urges airlines to avoid iranian airspace after flight radar shows the missile that took down an american drone came close to a commercial airliner. Our Live Team Coverage starts with abcs Senior National correspondent terry moran at the white house. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, eva. It was the attack that wasnt. That didnt happen and in that instant it seems that whole tense u. S. iran dynamic shifted and u. S. Allies and adversaries in the region and around the world are now recalibrating their estimation of President Trump and of the u. S. Role in the world. But first theyre trying to figure out what happened. This morning, President Trump is offering explanations of why he changed his mind about attacking iran at the last minute telling nbc news he asked generals about casualties. They said, came back and said, sir, approximately 150, and i thought about it for a second. I said, you know what, they shot down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half an hour after i said go ahead. And i didnt like it. I didnt think it was i didnt think it was proportionate. Reporter trump also tweeting, we were cocked and loaded to retaliate but added, i am in no hurry. On capitol hill, speaker of the house nancy pelosi who says she was not notified about the aborted attack urged calm. Deescalate, deescalate, deescalate. Take a deep breath, and deescalate. Reporter but iran shows no signs of backing down. Releasing this video of what tehran claims is part of the wreckage of the drone it shot down thursday and insisting that drone had violated iranian airspace which the u. S. Denies. U. S. Centcom Spokesperson Lieutenant colonel earl brown saying we have no reports of recovered debris and adding at no point in time did any u. S. Aircraft enter iranian airspace on june 19, 2019. With the iranian economy reeling from u. S. Led sanctions, the regime is seeking to raise the tension in the persian gulf and vowing not to yield as the countrys foreign minister made clear to Martha Raddatz earlier this month. Threats against iran never work. Never threaten an iranian. Try respect. That may work. Back now with terry at the white house and, terry, is the white house still planning on a military strike, or are they looking to pursue a diplomatic solution now instead . Reporter well, eva, no question this nonattack turned the page. Look, the president and the white house are going to say all options remain on the table but it is clear the pentagon telling abc news that they are in effect standing down. There are no preparations for an imminent attack, and the u. S. Has requested a u. N. Security council on monday. We also know that President Trump is looking to more sanctions. At the end of the day hes looking for a deal but it sure sounds like iran wants an end to sanctions first. Eva. All right. Terry moran for us at the white house, thank you. Whit. Eva, the proximity of the Iranian Missile that downed an american drone to a passenger flight is leading multiple airlines to change their routes. Abcs Foreign CorrespondentJames Longman joins us from the gulf of oman, and, james, youre learning more about that midair scare. Reporter yeah, good morning, whit. Thats right. When that u. S. Drone was shot down by iran, a Qatar Airways flight was just 45 miles away according to the faa. Flight radar shows the qatar jet on its way to bangkok from doha passed almost directly between the launch point and the drone and at the speed those planes fly, theres every chance that missile could have locked on to the wrong target. Which could have been devastating, and we know that u. S. Air carriers are taking that very seriously. How is this incident impacting flights in the region . Reporter yeah, so that close call and rising tensions here prompted the faa to ban u. S. Operated flights over iran, the persian gulf and the gulf of oman. Some of the carriers affected include united, u. P. S. , fedex, atlas and polar air, and the faa says about 31 flights a week are affected. And note that a few International Airlines are doing the same including Major CompaniesLike British Airways and lufthansa. Theres still a lot of uncertainty here, whit. James longman in the gulf of oman for us, we appreciate your reporting. Dan, over to you. Whit and james, thanks to you both. We move on to the other developing story involving the trump administration. A plan to arrest 2,000 family members in massive deportation raids, raids that are expected to be carried out this weekend. This morning the fear in immigrant communities and the officials in some cities who are actively pushing back against the feds. Abcs lana zak is on the story from washington. Lana, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you, dan. These mass raids are unprecedented for targeting families in their homes, but the acting director of immigration and Customs Enforcement tell abc that the raids are, quote, not about fear, but he says the integrity of the system. This morning, immigration and Customs EnforcementAgents Planning a mass roundup of family who are in the u. S. Illegally. In an unprecedented of force predawn raids of more than 2,000 people who have already received deportation orders are expected tomorrow in as many as ten major cities. One of the greatest pull factors for families to come here is they know once they arrive in the United States, they remain here untouched. We have to change that message. Reporter the plan revealed days after President Trump tweeted that sweeping deportations were imminent. Several mayors including in los angeles, baltimore are refusing to cooperate urging immigrants to know their rights saying by law they do not have to open their door for i. C. E. Agents without a warrant signed by a judge. Every american should be outraged that an elected official would use the terror of families and children as campaign material. Reporter this comes as a Record Number of families are being detained at the u. S. mexico border where Border Patrol detention facilities are overwhelmed and i. C. E. Detention centers strained as well with a lack of space, especially for families prompting questions this morning about the focus of these raids. Our priority and the priority of the federal government should be to go after people that are a clear and present danger. Thats gang members and felons, not necessarily families. Our priorities remain the same. Its always going to be to go after the criminal aliens that have committed heinous crimes against american citizens but priorities does not mean all other demographics are exempt. And we are witnessing a striking schism between local Law Enforcement and i. C. E. Many of the Police Departments in these cities say that they will not assist i. C. E. In these raids. Chicago pd even terminating i. C. E. Access to their database. Lana zak for us. Now to the president ial race. Democratic hopefuls on the campaign trail trying to drum up support in an early primary state. We are now just four days ahead of the first democratic debate. 500 days to go before the 2020 election. Abcs White House Correspondent tara palmeri is in columbia, South Carolina, with a look at what the candidates are focusing on. Good morning to you, tara. Reporter good morning, eva. The South Carolina primary is more than 250 days away, but these candidates are all down here at a steaming hot fish fry trying to make the case to africanamerican voters. Thats because the palmetto state is one of the first primaries in the region. Theres a whole bunch of candidates going to be coming on this stage. Reporter overnight a show of unity. 21 of the 23 Democratic Candidates on stage together in South Carolina at congressman jim clyburs annual fish fry. Whoever the democratic nominee is, we have to Stay Together and elect a democrat president of the United States of america. Reporter a bitter standoff between senator cory booker and Vice President joe biden ending with a hug. This after one of the most divisive weeks on the campaign trail. For his posture to be to me, ive done nothing wrong, you should apologize, im not a racist is so insulting. Reporter biden defiant after booker called on him to apologize for reminiscing about the days of civility in the senate when he worked with segregationists. Are you going to apologize . Apologize for what . Cory bookers called for it. Cory should apologize. He knows better. Reporter the other candidates vying for clyburns endorsement in the early primary state and making the case to black voters and theyre not satisfied with bidens silence. Look, i said very clearly, he needs to apologize. Reporter joe biden hasnt apologized. He should apologize. Should he apologize . Well, im going to leave that to him. Would you apologize . Well, i wouldnt say that, so what joe biden said was very important, which was that in order for us to solve the challenges of this country weve got to be able to come together. Reporter but some voters more concerned about who will beat President Trump than anything else. Right now at this point joe biden has the best chance at beating donald trump. I think biden is our best chance. I think any of those guys could beat trump. Reporter congressman jim clyburn is a bit of a kingmaker down here, so his endorsement matters, and he is defending joe biden. Now, these candidates have a very busy weekend ahead of them and are speaking at a South Carolina democratic primary event and a planned parenthood forum. Dan. All right, tara, thank you so much. Lets bring in our ringer, abc news chief political analyst matthew dowd who joins us from texas. Matthew, good morning. Lets start here with e biden. This whole dustup over his comments about working with segregationist senators. Is this likely to be a longterm problem for him, or do you think its just a blip . Well, i think the longer term problem for joe biden is the fact that he got elected first before eight track tape came and went. I mean, thats the problem with joe biden. I think he still thinks the words and the actions and the policies of the 70s when he first came there apply today. I think its not going to politically he can deal with this next week. Hes got a debate next week. I think he can deal with this next week in the midst of the first debates next week, but i think, as i say, this particular incident isnt necessary a longterm problem. The longterm problem is does he fit the 21st century electorate that hes about to face . Im trying to figure out whether i should explain to our younger viewers what an eight track tape is or a beta max. They will them its long before ipod, its long before ipod, its long before downloading. Yes, distinctly analog. Lets stay on this issue of the democrats running for president. Race as weve seen has been an issue for biden. Its also now an issue for one of the buzzy young Democratic Candidates, one of the candidates who may not know what eight tracks are. Theres this video thats now surfacing of mayor Pete Buttigieg who skipped the Campaign Events in South Carolina and returned to his home city where he is mayor in south bend, indiana, where he was surrounded by Angry Community members, some of them Holding Black lives matter signs. Theres outrage now in south bend after the Fatal Police Shooting of a black man. Take a listen. We set up the body camera, right . And then they failed us when we needed them, so if youre saying its not good enough, youre right. And that was a relatively tame moments. There were other moments where he was being screamed at. Theres been talk for awhile buttigieg who has been on a rocket ride actually really needs to make inroads with black voters nationally if hes going to make it. How is this moment likely to play for him . Well, i think ive always thought for candidates like Pete Buttigieg, the biggest test would not come in the rise but would come when they went through a gauntlet of bad press and i think this is a test of him. The other part i think thats affected, hes only held one Political Office, and thats mayor of south bend, indiana. And he has to demonstrate that that one Political Office hes held, he can do well and he can bring the community together. If that frays in that community, then one of the major points that hes running on, which is what hes done in south bend, indiana, starts to deteriorate. Again, like joe biden, hes going to be in the midst of a debate next week. Hes going to have to face these questions in this but as any politician as i look at any politician, the hardest part they have is when they go through the gauntlet, and well see how mayor pete survives through the first initial problem hes never had before. The candidates are being tested. Thats the point of the system. Matthew dowd, really appreciate your analysis. Eva, over to you. Thanks, guys.

Its National Pollinator week and as misdemeanor of you know the honeybees have taken a hit and lost 40 of their hives that we need to put food on the table. The workhorses of pollination, fertilizing flowers and crops, over 30 of the food americans eat is spawned by honeybees, and recently the population of these vital pollinators is dropping at an alarming rate. So we went to the only standalone invertebrate zoo in the world to look into it. Why do we think the Bee Population is in decline . So, there are a lot of factors that play into the decline of bees. Lack of habitat. Also Pesticide Use and pathogens. What about Climate Change . What about a warming world . So that could be a huge impact. Some of it has to do with when plants bloom. So if youre a bee and you come out in april every year expecting to see a certain flower blooming and now because of the change in climate, its blooming in march, you missed your window. Reporter those plants then struggle to bear fruit. Lets check out our chief pollinators. Into the hives i go with zookeeper sara triplett. Whoa look at all those bees. So, the first thing theyll do, the young bees can excrete this wax out of glands on their abdomen and theyll form it into these cells and then the bees will leave the hive and collect nectar from flewers. Reporter but those negative factors now disrupting this very necessary pollination process. Well, if you dont mind the bees are kind of freaking me out. Im going to check out the butterflies.

Some see them as a convenient way to get around but the mayor in nashville wants a ban on them over concerns about public safety. Abcs will reeve is here with more. Good morning, eva. So in cities across america, electric scooters have quickly become ubiquitous. Silicon valley tech money is powering their rise and users and fans say the scooters are convenient and theyre environmentally friendly, but opponents say they clog streets and sidewalks and they put citizens in danger. This morning, another major city trying to take away the buzziest mode of transportation since ride sharing. To make nashville a great place for people to live, work and play, i think we need to pull them off the streets. Reporter nashvilles mayor pumping the brakes announcing a ban on electric scooters. The mayor posed an ultimatum to the seven Scooter Companies last month saying he wanted them off the streets if they didnt address safety concerns. These scooters are hugely popular nationwide with an estimated 38. 5 million scooter share trips in the u. S. For 2018. With no Current National database tracking scooter accidents, Austin Public Health teamed up with the cdc to try to learn more. Nashville has seen its share of scooterrelated incidents. In may 26yearold brian gaulke died after a collision with an suv and just this week a man in tampa, florida, was seriously injured after a crash with a tanker truck shattering the scooter. In chicago, just one week into its escooter pilot program, doctors are already noticing an increase in scooterrelated injuries. Im seeing these scooters on every Street Corner and im thinking to myself, oh, my goodness, its going to be a busy summer. Reporter mayor briley says for now the concerns outweigh the commerce. We can have some more conversations with the companies and decide whether or not it makes sense for them to come back. Reporter while nashvilles mayor is recommending the ban, its up to the Metro Council to ultimately approve it, and one of those companies, lime, which is one of those Venture Backed Companies had a statement in response to the ban. They said, quote, lime has been responsive in addressing mayor brileys concerns and will continue to put safety first. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. People are using those scooters. And they can be dangerous but also a lot of fun. Dan is more of a segway guy. Yeah, i like to think you have to wear a helmet. And elbow pads.
