And theyll be looking at whether they have ever used public assistance or might use it in the future. Lets get right to cecilia vega live at the white house with much more. As you know, a lot of anger over what some say the administration is really trying to do here. Reporter david, good morning, a lot of anger. Now a lot of lawsuit athlete lat well. We are not talking about people in this country illegally, undocumented immigrants. These are people who are trying to obtain permanent status in the United States and if they are struggling financially, these new rules will make it much harder to stay. This morning, outrage over President TrumpS Immigration crackdown. Its one consistent show of a president who is a racist and basically wants a whiter, wealthier nation. Reporter democrats denouncing new rules that make it tougher for legal immigrants to stay in the country permanently if theyve used public assistance like medicaid or food stamps. Other 2020 rivals like senator Kamala Harris calling the move indefensible. And beto orourke tweeting, if youre an immigrant, President Trump believes you have no place in this country. About half a Million Immigrants apply for green cards each year. Under these new rules, the vast majority could be at risk of being denied permanent legal status. Not affected, people who already have green cards, pregnant women and children and refugees and asylum seekers. We certainly expect people of any income to stand on their own two feet. Reporter the Trump Administration says it doesnt want low income immigrants to become a burden on society, even though they pay taxes and, according to an Associated Press analysis, use significantly less Public Benefits than low income native born adults. Asked if the policy means that famous plaque on the statue of liberty inviting the poor and huddled masses coming down, the president S Immigration chief said this. Im certainly not prepared to take anything down off the statue of liberty. Reporter immigrants Rights Groups say people will end up refusing public assistance, help, fearing this will jeopardize their chances of staying in this country permanently. No doubt this is going to end up in the courts. It sure will. Cecelia, thank you. New developments into the investigation of Jeffrey Epsteins death. Were learning one of the guards on duty the night he died wasnt a regular correctional officer. Linsey davis is here and has the latest for us. Good morning, linsey. Good morning, robin. He was a temporary officer filling in due to a staffing shortage. Attorney general william barr with forboding words saying just because epstein wont have his day in court, coconspirators, quote, should not rest easy. Victims deserve justice and will get it. Reporter this morning more confusion surrounding the moments leading up to Jeffrey Epsteins death. According to the ap, one of the guards assigned to watch him wasnt even a correctional officer. Were learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. Reporter sources tell abc news that at the urging of his defense attorneys, epstein was taken off suicide watch two weeks ago and while there were cameras on the cell block where he was held, they did not focus on individual units. So its unlikely theres Surveillance Video of the moment of his death. This as little st. James, Jeffrey Epsteins private oasis in the caribbean, is now the subject of a raid by both the fbi and the nypd. Abc news was there as agencies searched for new evidence against the deceased financier and potential coconspirators. Were also learning more about Ghislaine Maxwell who was accused of recruiting underage girls like Virginia Giuffre to act as underage sex slaves for Jeffrey Epstein. The training started immediately, give jeffrey what he wants. A lot of this training came from ghislaine herself. Reporter in deposition testimony from unsealed documents giuffre says she was directed to have sex with several powerful men like former governor of new mexico bill richardson, former senator George Mitchell and Prince Andrew. All of the men have denied those allegations. Richardson and mitchell deny ever having met her. On sunday a smiling Prince Andrew was spotted accompanying his mother, the queen, to church. Conchita sarnoff, an advocate for victims of sex trafficking wrote a book about epstein and said she knew maxwell socially. According to virginias filings, she would teach the underage girls how to behave, how to act, how to dress, how to eat properly. I think those girls were so fearful of ghislaine, a, because she was much older than they were and because she lived with epstein and had a relationship with epstein. Whatever that relationship was, it clearly was a close relationship. Reporter maxwell has consistently denied all allegations and has not been charged with any crime. And with regard to maxwell we have reason to believe that she is now in europe. Meanwhile, the attorney general says he is appalled and angered about what he described as the Manhattan Correctional Centers failure to secure epstein and added there will be accountability. David . Linsey s than ks lets bring in our chief legal analyst dan abrams. This new reporting that one of the two Correctional Officers watching over Jeffrey Epstein when he hanged himself didnt work normally as a correctional officer. Whats even more astonishing is that this happens fairly regularly. The system is so taxed and understaffed that they have to recruit people who are teachers or secretaries, nurses even at times to fill in as Correctional Officers. We dont know exactly what this persons job was but it does seem clear that the person wasnt a regular correctional officer. The question, why does it take a case like this to show its overtaxed. Exactly. Its been the same way for a while now. Our cameras capturing federal agents, fbi, nypd down in the u. S. Virgin islands. That tells you that this prosecution is far from over. There are one of two reasons theyre down there. There is an fbi office based out of san juan which covers the u. S. Virgin islands. It could be that they are investigating the possibility of a crime that occurred at that home. Number two though could be that when you believe that theres a conspiracy, the government can try to take away assets that they believe were involved in that conspiracy. So they could argue that that home was used as part of a criminal conspiracy and they could try to basically seize it. So its unclear, is this investigation of another crime, is this civil asset forfeiture. Uncle unclear but its clear the fbi is there. I want to get to the Court Filings involving Ghislaine Maxwell who lived with epstein. Shes been accused of coaching the girls, teaching them how to dress and what not. They were fearful of her. Of course all allegations at this point. Where is she . Why dont we know more about her . We dont know exactly where she is. It sounds like she may be in europe. She should be very concerned right now. She is the person who is talked about again and again and again and as you heard the attorney general say, theyre investigating others. Remember, shes in europe and charged with a crime, serious crime, she would be extradited. So iathe be mh tcome. N abrams thanks as always. Robin, michael . Were going to go overseas now to a heroic takedown in sydney, australia. A knifewielding man going on a stabbing spree, attacking two women before hero bystanders jumped in to take him down. Abcs James Longman has the story. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, michael.

This morning, dramatic footage showing a man wielding a bloodied knife running through central sydney.

Three british men were among those who stopped his rampage. I dont know whether its an inanythingorng but we were rtrg myroth a ianlod and we ty wey nd ofha this on did, with clear evidence of previous are heros. Reporter Authorities Say the alleged attacker acted alone and may have recently come from a Mental Health facility. Those young men say the only thing that went through their minds was, youve got to help people. Im sure everyone in sydney is glad they did. David . Incredible pictures. James, thank you.

Is learning much from the failed missile explosion in russia. We have similar though more advanced technology. The russian sky fall explosion has people worried about the air around the facility and far beyond, not good. While the russian government initially denied there had been a rise in radiation at all. This morning its admitting levels increased four to 16 times after the explosion, albeit briefly. Though on a vastly different scale, this incident believed to be one of the deadliest Nuclear Accidents in russia since chernobyl in 1986, now a hit miniseries on hbo. On monday thousands attending the funeral of the seven lost in the explosion. This morning theyre being hailed as true heros.

Reporter this morning a world renown scientist says he thinks he knows where it might be. Robert ballard who has famously found the titanic and explored the underwater wrecks left behind by pearl harbor thinks this photo taken in 1937 may hold the answer to where her plane went down. The image was viewed by intelligence analysts at the pentagon who concluded the object seen here has a semblance to the plane earhart was last seen flying. That photo taken off the shores of a small island in the Pacific Ocean just four and a half miles long and one mile wide. Its not the lochness monster. Its not big foot. That plane exists which means im going to find it. Reporter now ballard thinks he has enough evidence to make another underwater discovery, heading to that Remote Island to try and solve the earhart mystery.

Now the man suspected of planting it in that bathroom is facing charges, and paula faris is here with more. Paula, this may not have been the only time hes done this. Reporter it wasnt the only time. Good morning. This particular incident happened on a flight from san diego to houston in may of this year. Had a woman not noticed a blue blinking light in the airplanes bathroom, the perpetrator may have gotten away with it. This morning, allegations of an alarming discovery o inn rpne bathroom turned out to be a hidden camera. This newly released criminal complaint says a camera was discovered by a woman flying in first class on a flight from san diego to houston. After spotting a blue light near the door, she grabbed the object, quickly handed it over to the flight crew. Upon landing, the united crew immediately turned it over to airport security. The airline telling us, when our crew was alerted of this issue, they acted quickly to notify the appropriate authorities. We will fully cooperate and support this investigation as it moves forward. According to the complaint, footage recovered shows a man setting up the camera, face obscured, but distinctive jewelry and clothing. The fbi scoured airport Surveillance Video. Agents say they were able to match the clothing and jewelry to a suspect, Malaysian National and halliburton employee, choon ping lee. The Company Released a statement that they are aware of the situation and they are cooperating with the fbi and u. S. Attorneys office in their investigation, but its not just airplanes that are vulnerable to potential voyeurism. Just last fall, a pensacola family say they found a hidden camera facing their bed while cruising to the caribbean. And in 2017, a couple in florida was secretly recorded in their airbnb rental. A camera was hidden inside a Smoke Detector looking down on their bed. That perpetrator was sentenced to 364 days for filming his airbnb guests. Disturbing to say the least. In the United Airlines investigation, the fbi says they also recovered deleted files from that same hidden camera, finding virlr emirates flight which included video of two women. The suspect is expected in court paula, thanks. We turn to the new study showing a troubling link between teenagers, ecigarettes and marijuana. Abcs eva pilgrim is here with much more on this, good morning. Reporter good morning. This study finding ecigarettes widow contain nicotine may be a potential gate way for marijuana. On monday researchers at bostons Children Hospital releasing their analysis of 21 studies, finding that teens and young adults who used vapes were nearly three and a half times more likely to use marijuana. For those ecigarette users in middle school and high school, that numbers gets even higher. As david mentioned, that 12 to 17 age group four times more likely to go on and use marijuana. But the longterm effects both of these substances can have on teens is still relatively unknown. Researchers tell us with conventional cigarettes it took 20, 30, 50 years to fully understand the effects. So weve got another 10 years or so before we can really look at whats happening here. And its important to point out, experts say the brain isnt fully developed until its 25. Which is why youre really staying on this vaping story. You reported on the possible seizures before and researchers, people are still investigating this . Thats right. The fda is looking into 127 cases of people, including children and young adults, who reported experiencing seizures after vaping. The fda says its unclear if the ecigarettes caused the reported seizures and are asking people with any Unexpected Health issues after vaping to please report it. We still know so little about this. Its still very new. Thanks, eva. Coming up, the shark sightings off the coast of cape cod and how these sightings may be sparking big business. Come on back. Actually be sparking big business.

Tourists not only buying shark merchandise, theyre paying big money to get up close with actual sharks safely. Will reeve is on cape cod this morning, back on the beach for us. Good morning, will. Good to see you. Reporter good morning, robin. Shark watch continues. There have been hundreds of shark sightings this summer and dozens of beach closures, including four just yesterday, but even though it can be a little complicated going to the beach here, tourists cant get enough of sharks on cape cod. Dad, come look at it. Reporter since june there have been more than 150 shark sightings off the coast of cape cod. No way reporter including this one friday near provincetown. That is unreal. We saw a fin probably 15 yards off the bow. Right before we were going to jump off we saw the shark. The shark was pretty much the size of the boat, probably like 18 feet. It was pretty crazy. We were probably floating with it for like 15 minutes. Reporter 40 times since july massachusetts beaches closed for sharks. With the chaos comes commerce, shark tours. The local shark Conservancy Center says theyve seen a 60 increase in visitors the last three years. One luxury inn offering trips for 2,500. This captain with cape star charters said cape cod is the premiere place to spot sharks and due to high demand has begun offering more viewing tours than in previous years. People on Fishing Charters are more concerned about seeing a shark than going back and fishing. Thats a big idea. Its why were transitions into doing white shark trips. Reporter in town this store sells nearly 50,000 a year of sharkthemed attire they call killer casual apparel. Shark sightings have been increasing more and more every summer so its kind of crazy. No one seems to get scared and i think thats the infatuation with the shark sightings. Reporter business is booming. We thought it was going to slow down because of the incidents last year. Actually its picked up. People are still interested in sharks despite the threat. Reporter its not just in massachusetts. Sharkrelated dives in florida generated more than 221 million in revenue and fueled over 3,700 jobs in 2016 alone. Oh, my god. Reporter overall, tourism on the cape is doing well.

Speaking of something thats really lovely, people come here to the studio and upstairs as we wait but also here, and this young man, he handed this out to each of us here. He said, good morning, my name is hallelujah. I would like to say 1,000 things but it would fall short of depth, meaning and importance. Consequently, i would like to say simply this, jesus bless us. Jesus bless us. That was just really sweet because people feel like you cant have that time and hes like, i know i cant so he handed this out.

Lets go back to our chief National Correspondent matt gutman whos on the scene still and has the latest. Good morning again, matt. Reporter good morning, robin. Police are still calling this an active crime scene. You can see the officer behind me. Dozens of bullets fired in this all out gun battle. Motorists caught in the cross fire. It started with a routine traffic stop. That officer pulling over a man in the white pickup truck. As he was preparing the paperwork to impound the vehicle, the suspect aaron luther went to his own truck, got the long gun and began firing. Despite being mortally wounded that officer able to call in for back up. Officers arrived. They engaged the shoot. Two additional finally officers took out the suspect. Overnight that sad procession of chp officers mourning the loss of their comrade. Now, this morning investigators want to know why aaron luther seemed to snap but also why a felon who had served time for attempted murder could get his hands on an assault style rifle. Robin. All right, matt, thanks so much. David . We turn now to that health alert about measles as kids get ready to head back to school. Its the worst outbreak in decades and ten new cases just reported. I want to get back to dr. Jen whos here with us. Break down these new numbers. New numbers from the cdc. Lets get right to them. This Measles Outbreak is not letting up. There are about 1,100 cases confirmed now, 124 did require hospitalization. 64 of those had serious complications like pneumonia or encephalitis. The majority of cases have occurred in unvaccinated people, many of them children. This is not just a national issue. Its affecting 30 states. It is a worldwide issue with massive Measles Outbreaks occurring in the drc, madagascar and the ukraine. Again, it needs to stay on everyones radar. Not just around the world but as you point out right here in the United States and there is time to take action if youre a parent. As we get ready to send kids back to school, the most important thing, get vaccinated. One dose of the mmr vaccine is 93 protection, two doses 97 . Parents need to recognize the symptoms that can initially look like the common cold, cough, runny nose, very high fever.

Supermodel kate upton is taking a stand, posing in unretouched photos for the September Issue of health magazine, sending al life. Paula faris is back. Paula, this is a departure from what we normally see on these september covers. It certainly is and how refreshing is it to see this, ladies and gentlemen. Upto s wanted to send a message that most photos tt e e. Theyre retouc filtere staged and we should stop comparing ourselves to a false reality. For her, posing like this is a huge step forward. Reporter this morning, supermodel kate upton sending a message that all bodies are beautiful on the september cover of health magazine, showing how she looks without photo retouching. The 27yearold flaunting her curves, making it her mission to help women feel strong and healthy, saying its important for me to push out this different mindset. I dont want anyone to think oh, no, i dont fit into that size 2 dress. You know what, who cares . Buy another one. Upton admits criticism has affected her but shes learned to put less focus on the scale and more on her health, saying perfection should not be the goal. For someone like kate upton who is a supermodel, a swimsuit model and who is famous for being absolutely gorgeous, for her to be able to show herself in a really real way, we just knew that would be something that would be really powerful. Reporter the new mom also sending an Important Message to other moms out there. Its so hard after giving birth to also have all this pressure from everybody around you to have, like, to just snap right back into your best body, and that just doesnt work that way. So dont be so hard on yourself. Thats right, dont be so hard on yourse. She had a baby nine months ago. She says putting herself first at some point during the day, eating well, working out, it creates a good mental space which helps prevent the criticism from getting to her. This is for you by the way. Thank you. My girls are going to love this. I think everybody wants their kids to have a positive body major. Just a reminder, everything we see out there is retouched and filtered, its not reality. Thank you, kate upton. David, over to you. Thanks, michael. Thanks, paula. Were going to turn to a gma parenting alert. As children get ready to go back to school, the question, how do you get them off the screens. Its a struggle even the youtube ceo is facing this morning. We saw this story in the new york times. Rebecca jarvis has a lot more on this. A lot of parents are going to be listening. You can imagine these conversations are happening right now. A lot of negotiations are happening. This is a tough transition, especially with back to school, moving the kids from freedom of summer to the structure of school, but there are ways to minimize screen time and keep your sanity. Reporter its a battle so prevalent even the head of youtube, ceo susan wojcicki, says shes having with her kids. Too much screen time. In a new interview telling the u. K. s Guardian Newspaper i have times when i take away all my kids phones, especially on a family vacation, because i want people to interact with each other. It comes back to balance. New york mom megan can relate. She says she cant get her kids away from screens, and theyre just weeks away from starting school. It does have to be structured very differently during the school year mainly because theres no wiggle room. Reporter even though its been a long summer of video games and smartphones, her kids dont want to put the screens away. They really dont understand when i do say no, so thats when the outrage and the whining comes in. Reporter according to the American Association of pediatrics, children 2 to 5 years old should only be on screen for one hour a day. While children 6 and older should have limits on what kind of media they should use to make room for sleep and physical activity. During the school year, its important that children stay focused on their studies. Its best not to go in just cold turkey. Our job now is to take a childs screen time as they have it right now and get it down to that quota by the beginning of the school year. And that solution boils down to consistency and communication with your kids. Pediatricians recommend setting limits with children 6 and older, watching programs together. One great tip here, make a plan together how much screen time are you going to be consuming. When would the kids like reminders that that screen time is almost up. So fiveminute, tenminute reminders, negotiate that. Consistency is important. Im curious, one of the recommendations that you had mentioned is designating a screenfree time. Thats what the ceo of youtube says she does with her own kids, vacations, dinner time. These are times that are screen free. And think about it, what youre doing with your own screen, they are modelling that behavior. Your baby girl is five months old and she notices when your phone is out. Its wild. Were trying to keep our phones aside because she watches. She notices. Lets get outside to ginger. Good morning, diane and good morning to san antonio, texas. Theyre only a couple hours from rosenburg, texas which is where our gma moment comes from. If you have a party and too many balloons, get merril the dog to help out. He loves popping them. Yeah, its his favorite past time. Now you all know. If you have a gma moment, something that makes you smile or laugh, please put them on my facebook page. For now lets get a [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] series,e nation. Sometimes taking care of yourself just feels like another thing on the todo list, but it can yield big benefits and might be easier to do than you think. Janai is back and will show us how to get started. Oh, im so slammed next week. Im sorry, if you want to go, ill make it. When was it . Reporter lifes never ending todo list. Sound familiar . Thats how life looked for alicia ramos until she learned how to prioritize time for herself. I would put in my hours at the office and then after hours i would come home and do more work. Constantly online and saying yes to everything. Reporter she recognized a need for change in her life. So she created an Online Community called girls night in on selfcare that reaches 150,000 readers weekly. A lot of our content is focused on friendships and how to strengthen friendships. Also on the flip side of things, how to maintain boundaries with certain individuals in your life. Reporter ramos is part of the millions seeking answers. The selfcare industry is 10 billion strong with a hashtag that returns more than 18 n sta. Dontecri nto it could even extend to your relationships. I havent seen my friend in a while, maybe ill shoot he glty some time to figure out what makes you happy, what brgs our thanks to janai for that. Dr. Jen is back. For sure, robin. Think of this on the spectrum of preventative medicine or think of it like taking your car in for maintenance before it actually breaks down. It is a major health trend right now as we just heard in the piece. And i think there are a lot of myths and misconceptions. Its not selfish. Its not about spending a lot of money. Its not just for women. Men are doing it too. And its not really just about yourself. It might involve giving or philanthropy, and its really important. Its making quite an impact. Im glad you said that, selfcare is not selfish, not at all. For sure. Can you perhaps go a little too far . I think obviously you can. Anything where we talk about on a spectrum has the propensity to go overboard. I think if its taken to excess, that can be suboptimal. If you ignore basic Health Care Practices just in favor of what you deem to be selfcare, thats potentially risky. And with anything, if the risks outweigh the benefits of anything youre doing, not so good. Okay, jen has a book thats coming out in december, the selfcare solution, so you know what youre talking about here. But how do we make it so its not just checking another thing off the box . I learned do one thing at a time. The reason i started this selfcare experiments is when i was at my lowest i felt that challenging myself month by month helped me feel better. Ill share that with our viewers and people can participate and hopefully it helps a lot of people. Im sure it will. You always do. Thank you. Thanks so much. Dr. Jen will answer your questions about selfcare on our facebook live. Ginger, almost back to school time. Can you believe it . Some kids are even back already.

A young couple in cincinnati had been struggling for years to start a family and then all of a sudden they got what they wished for and more. Take a look. Reporter for calena and b. J. Durel, this moment surrounded by their kids is more than a dream come true. If someone would have given me an idea that i was going to have the family that i do now, i would have said youre crazy. Reporter the ohio couple says they went through five years of infertility. So in 2016 they decided to start their journey as foster parents and were asked to watch a pair of sister for an afternoon.

Ive always been looking forward to sharing this with you. Author sarah m. Brooms yellow house takes us on a remarkable journey through new orleans, especially new orleans east, exploring her beloved childhood home destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Her tale is one of love, loss and resilience. Shes going to join us in a moment. Lets take a look at her story first. The yellow house was witness to our lives. When it fell down, something in me burst. Reporter after sarah brooms childhood home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, she was inspired to rebuild in a different way. How to resurrect a house with words. Reporter this is sarahs mission in her new book the ow house sarah grew up in new orleans east, seven miles outside of the french quarter. New orleans east is not a place you find on most of the tourist maps. Reporter today sarah is reclaiming the narrative of her city and her home. Houses provide a frame that bears us up. Without that physical structure, we are the house that bears itself up. I was now the house. Such profound words. Please welcome sarah broom here with us. [ cheers and applause ] thank you. Full disclosure. We were having dinner in her home in harlem and she says i wrote this little book. I said send me an advanced copy. I read it and im amazed by it and then boom. But it took eight years. Eight years. It was a labor of love, wasnt it . It really was, and it was important for me to get it right, robin. This was a place my mother bought when she was 19 years old and so i had to do justice to the world that she built, you know. Im the baby of 12 children. 12. I know, right . So she raised 12 human beings inside of this house. And when i was growing up, there were no stories of new orleans east. Even when i was reporting this book, there werent reference books. I wrote the book that i needed and that i wanted my nieces and nephews to read. You have like 50 of them, dont you . I have so many. Nearly 50 of them. Right, right, right. Hopefully theyll add to the story. Thats right. It inspires families and im inspired now to learn more about my family history. When you hear, yes, theres no place like home, its the details. A house is a house, but what makes it a home to you . For me its beauty. Thats the thing my mother taught me, is that you figure out whats beautiful for you and then you go out and you collect beauty, that no matter what you have we can all train our eyes upon a beautiful thing and get immense joy from it. So for me and where i live, im always collecting beautiful things. Even if they dont match or they dont go. I didnt want to say that. When i was in your home i was like that doesnt go, but it was so warm and inviting. It was you. Its you, its you. Okay, its august and those of us from down south and we have some folks from mississippi and new orleans, 14 years ago Hurricane Katrina and your home was destroyed by that and then later was completely, completely demolished by the city. You recently were able to go back. When you went back and just saw that lot, what was in your mind, in your heart when you saw that . You know, robin, it was a profound feeling. When i went back, the only thing left that i could recognize was a single cedar tree that my father had planted before i was born. The rest of the lot was just green grass growing, and i thought to myself it was the first moment i understood why i wrote this book, because i thought, oh, this book tells the history of a place no one except me and or my siblings can see. And so for the kid who still lives on the street where i grew up, she will have a record, a history of what came before. Yeah. What is your message . What do you want people reading this, what do you want them to have, the message to come away with . Sure. I think for me its really about what it means to love a place, that if we truly love a place and are tethered to a place, then its our job to get to know ac and to ok beyond othat official map, to not only go to the places that are the narrative but to go beyond those places. Well, thank you for taking us on this incredible journey. Thank you. [ applause ] because as youll read, people outside of the family werent really in this home. They werent really welcome i wouldnt say not welcomed in the home but they werent able to come into the home. But you take us on this extraordinary journey and you are an engaging guide so thank you for that. You for that. The yellow house wait, audience, youre going home with a copy. [ applause ] thank you, sarah. Blessings to you. Ginger . You know i need a copy of that covering katrina. Anyway, we are all counting down to our big concert with taylor swift in central park.
