Michael douglas son cameron with diane sawyer breaking his silence after years in prison, on trying to live up to his familys legacy, his struggle with addiction you shot cocaine into your neck . And the powerful phone call from his father. Those words were heartbreaking to me. Its only on gma this morning. More from those enlightening interviews with the duke and duchess of sussex. Reports that Prince William is worried about his brother as meghans emotional struggle behind the scenes resonates with so many. The good thing is ive got my baby and ive got my husband and theyre the best. And its the final countdown to the epic end of an era. Star wars the rise of skywalker, the explosive final trailer after 44 years and 9 films. Chewie, rey and the whole gang are soaring through the galaxy once again. Will the emperor strike back . May the force be with fans this morning. Really, michael . Hey, may the force be with everybody this morning. Thats right. We do say good morning, america, to one and all including star wars fans. The world is counting down to the premiere of the rise of skywalker. Oh, yeah, and that final trailer premiered last night during monday night football. Its already racked up millions of views online as always. Everybody is excited about star wars. Well have all the reaction coming up. But we begin with the impeachment showdown. Crucial witnesses heading to capitol hill this morning. The ambassador who warned fellow diplomats it would be crazy to hold back aid to ukraine and this comes as President Trump is pressuring republicans calling on them to get tougher and fight. Our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce starts us off from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. President trump is now staring down the very real possibility of impeachment in the house, and now he is trying to rally his own party telling republicans this morning, its time to toughen up. As the impeachment pressure grows this morning President Trump is pushing republicans to fall in line. I think the republicans should get tougher. Reporter overnight, the president taking on detractors in his own party. I think that the democrats are not good politicians, but you dont have the mitt romneys of the world. You dont have people that will go against the party. You have better they stick together. Reporter senator romney is one of a few republicans criticizing the president , now signaling hes open to voting to remove trump from office. We certainly cant have president s asking Foreign Countries to provide something of political value that is after all against the law. Reporter this morning on capitol hill another key witness, bill taylor, the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine, he raised concerns when he thought the president was withholding millions of dollars in military aid for political gain. In released Text Messages between taylor and the u. S. Ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, taylor writes, i think its crazy to withhold Security Assistance for help with a political campaign. Trump is brushing it off. Theyre interviewing ambassadors who i had never heard of. I dont know who these people are. Reporter but ambassador sondland who testified last week was handpicked by trump for the job. Now, House Speaker pelosi is also trying to rally her troops. Sending around a fact message outlining her messaging. What theyve learned so far, it describes what the speaker describes as the shakedown, the Pressure Campaign and the coverup, george. Democrats are clearly trying to hammer at their belief the president used his office for political gain. Meantime, youve got the steady stream of witnesses behind closed doors for now and theyve got so many new leads that its probably slowing the timeline for impeachment down. Reporter yeah, george, democrats say they want to move quickly here but they also want to question a lot of these witnesses. They are plowing through these closed door depositions but they also want to hold open hearings. So it seems likely this process is going to go well into the holiday season. Speaker pelosi told me last week the timeline here depends on the truth, george. Mary bruce, thanks very much. Michael. George, now to new reports revealing russia is already trying to meddle in our elections. Facebook moving to take down dozens of accounts posing as americans but are actually originated from companies in moscow. Our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas is here with more. Good morning, tom. Reporter michael, good morning to you. Were talking about accounts on facebook and instagram trying to influence voters. How do they do it . Its pretty simple. They pose as political or socially conscious groups, and once you start following them, they start pushing content to manipulate the way you think. President trump, Bernie Sanders and joe biden seem to be the candidates theyre focused on. This morning, facebook saying they found evidence of russia and other foreign actors including iran trying to influence the 2020 election using social media. Facebook announcing they pinpointed and shut down four statebacked disinformation campaigns. A deeper dive done by the social Media Research firm graphika shows the russian accounts manipulated or created memes and images, some in support of President Trump like this Instagram Post from alleged fake users law. Abiding. Citizen and free. Dom. Choice consistently slamming joe biden, and some of the russian acunts Facebook Says showed support for Bernie Sanders, like this one from bernie. 2020, underscore on instagram again taking shots at joe biden. Almost half the accounts claim to be in swing states, especially florida. Just last week, facebook founder and Ceo Mark Zuckerberg touting changes the social media giant is undertaking. But in april admitting to george stopping altogether the spreading of political misinformation like what happened in the 2016 election would be impossible. So you cant guaranteits not going to happen again. Well, what i can guarantee is that theyre definitely going to try. Thats what we see. So our job is to make the defenses stronger and stronger, to make it harder for them to do what theyre doing. Reporter now, in reporting the story the most striking ing we found was the range of groups that are posing to be a part of, conservative groups, black activist groups, gun rights, lgbtq, muslim and even christian accounts and one tip that our viewers can use to kind of spot these on facebook and instagram, the grammar is off. The english is off. The hashtags are off. Theres always a little subtle mistake. For instance they were attacking congresswoman ocasiocortez. Instead of putting aoc, it was oac. Its Little Things like that that you can spot. The thing that surprised us theyre all over the map when it comes to politics. Hopefully we learn something from 2016 and what happened then. All right, tom, thank you. Now to the latest on the crisis in syria with the ceasefire brokered by the u. S. Set to expire today and american troops leaving the northern part of the country. Our Foreign Correspondent James Longman reporting again from the region this morning. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, robin. Yeah, its a ceasefire that never really began. But today the fiveday pause officially comes to an end. Both sides accuse the other of breaking the agreement but the world will be watching to see if president erdogan relaunches his incursion into northern syria. Hes meeting with Vladimir Putin today to discuss next steps, a clear sign of russias increasing influence as the u. S. Backs off, and as American Forces leave their positions, weve seen their vehicles pelted with potatoes by desperate kurds now worried for their safety. These troops were once hailed as heroes by the kurds. Remember, its a very different picture now. This sign reads thanks, u. S. People, but trump betrayed us. President trump says he never promised to protect the kurds and says his priority is to get u. S. Troops home but we know instead some will stay in syria to protect Oil Interests while others head to iraq to monitor isis. Another sign of u. S. Policy being tested, this morning iraq saying those troops dont have permission to stay in the country, george. Could be chaotic there, okay, james, thanks very much. We move on now to those wildfires burning in california damaging several homes. At least seven fires burning out there right now. There are new alerts for fire danger as temperatures rise and winds pick up. Matt gutman is in San Bernardino with the latest. Good morning, matt. Reporter george, good morning. It was chaos out here. Firefighters racing to the scene. Scrambling up this hill pulling out a 90yearold woman from that home and just across the way here this house torched in minutes. There were four kids inside, and firefighters managed to save most of this neighborhood but five people were hospitalized for smoke inhalation. This morning, california in that critical fire danger. Multiple fastmoving fires burning near los angeles. This one in San Bernardino quickly destroying or damaging nine homes. Dozens of homes evacuated. The show live rescue on a e capturing firefighters pulling people from homes. Were going to try that operation that we did earlier with utilizing that ambulance to shuttle some folks out. Reporter that came after a Mass Evacuation for hundreds of families in the upscale city of pacific palisades. That fire quickly racing up a hillside. You can see those men with garden hoses trying to fight back the flames. Then they break for it and run. That sedan backing out as the flames nip at it. Residents quickly evacuated. A fleet of fefighting planes overhead dive bombing the flames just feet from the ground with precision. This woman on the way to the car thankfully managing to escape. And this man picking up his daughter from a nearby school on foot. Im up here. The fire is there and shes on the other side. Reporter first reported as a oneacre fire that grew to 40 acres in minutes, thankfully no one was hurt. Now the power is out in this neighborhood and california yuttytys say they may turn off the power for thousands in southern california. Temperatures are expected to rise. The winds are expected to kick up. Its going to be an exhausting few days for firefighters here. George. Okay, matt, thanks very much. Tough week ahead. Exhausting for sure. We go from out west to down south to the aftermath of devastating tornadoes that pummeled part of texas leaving a trail of destruction. Marcus moore is in texas this morning with the latest. Good morning to you, marcus. Reporter michael, good morning. The National Weather service says three tornadoes touched down here in the dallas area on sunday. One of them was a devastating ef3 with 140mileperhour winds leaving ruins and chunks of debris like this all over the place. I want you to look at our drone in the air this morning and it get you a sense of what it did to this house behind me. It snapped this tree and tore the roof right off of the house, leaving it exposed to the elements. Its a heartbreaking thing to see this house and so many others were destroyed when this storm came through. We have heard stories of survival. Families that huddle in closets, praying for their lives. But despite all of the destruction we have seen, no one was killed. And thats remarkable when you consider this storm went through a densely populated area, and robin, some are having to start all over again. Im sure. Thinking about everybody down there, marcus. Thank you. Now to a new lawsuit against juul, the young man claiming the companys products put him in the hospital and linsey davis has that exclusive interview. Take a look. I had to learn how to walk again basically, like i couldnt walk. Reporter in a new lawsuit, 21yearold conner evans alleges his 2 1 2 weeks in a Pennsylvania Hospital are directly linked to his yearlong vaping of the popular ecigarette juul. My lungs were filled up to 80 of the capacity filled with fluid. Reporter now this morning, evans is suing the company claiming it failed to warn him about the dangers. The oncehealthy High School Hockey captain was admitted to the hospital in may having great difficulty breathing and later placed in a medically induced coma for eight days. Youre sitting on a bed and your parents are just looking at you and your family and, you know, everyone. You dont realize how much youre cared about until, like, that happens. Reporter according to the lawsuit, juul failed to properly assess and warn about the harm that its products cause to the human lungs and body, adding the ecigarette brand falsely advertises its ecigarettes system as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes and knew or should have known the potential dangers of its products. What the risks are to adolescent brains and sucking down nicotine, what the risk is to conner evans lungs long term is yet to be told. Reporter while the cdc and fda are currently investigating the growing list of severe lung injuries reported, so far theyve not tied them to a specific brand, substance or product. Evans says he was 19 when he began vaping and never smoked cigarettes or any other product. I wish i never took the hit at the College Party because thats what all started it. I wish i would have never done it. Reporter we reached out about the lawsuit to juul. They had no comment. Earlier this month several School Districts filed lawsuits against juul and just last week, the company was hit by a wrongful death lawsuit by a teen who died in his sleep from breathing complications that they say was a result of vaping. Thanks so much, linsey. Thank you. And now to the nba cracking down on bad behavior. Not by the players but by fans this comes after several highprofile incidents of fans berating the players and the league is adopting a zerotolerance policy. T. J. Holmes is here with more. Good morning to you. You know this, trashtalking, heckling, its a part of sports but fan ejections in the nba doubled last season and players have complained that things have gotten nastier so now with this new policy, you can still tell an opposing player he has an lyumshot or that hes no good, hes trash, but you cant talk about his momma. The nba season tips off tonight and the matchup already making headne fans versus players. The league is enacting a zerotolerance policy for vulgar and offensive behavior putting fans seated closest to the game, player tunnels and team benches on notice that anything that crosses the line will get you kicked out. Nba stars complained in the offseason that fan behavior was getting worse. Superstar Russell Westbrook got into this Heated Exchange with a fan in utah last season. Young man in the stands told me to get on my knees like i used to. Reporter the fan denied the allegation. Hes got to be a professional. I thought it was ice. I told him, sit down and ice your knees, bro. Reporter Demarcus Cousins in an interview with yahoo sports claims fans have yelled racial slurs at him. Ive been called [ bleep ]. Is that right . Yeah, and its crazy because like its happened to me on a few occasions. We push this league. So i dont understand when does our safety and our, you know, when does it become important . The proximity of the fans to the athletes is closer in the nba than any other sport and because of that, you see some fans go across the line. Theyre right on top of them and i think some of these fans get carried away and think theyre part of the action. Reporter the nba is now updating its fan code of conduct to include any sexist language or lgbtq language, any denigrating language in that way, anything that is nonbasketball related. So you get the idea there. You can talk bad about them all they want but it needs to be related to on the court. Overwhelmingly fans behave but enough that the players stepped up and said there is a different tone that theyre noticing and a nastiness that wasnt there in years past and now doing something about it. What other job can you have somebody screaming the nastiest things at you. I thought about doing it to you during that. A little distracting. They dont have recourse. Imagine if a player responded in kind, right . Yeah. All right, t. J. Stick around for this because its game one of the world series tonight. Tonight, the Houston Astros taking on the washington nationals. Astros set to be the biggest favorite in more than ten years but the country, come on, the underdog, the nats, its washingtons first trip to the world stage in franchise history. And dont forget, theyve got the power of baby shark behind them. Their unofficial theme song that has really been working for them. Im just saying. Okay. Im from houston. Im just saying. [ laughter ] well done. Well played. Coming up here, Cameron Douglas, the son of Michael Douglas, goes oneonone with the diane sawyer in his First Television interview with his father, talking about his struggle with addiction and his years in federal prison only on gma this morning. And we have more on that star wars trailer. Thats coming up but first back to ginger. It was not just dallas that had tornadoes. Weve had 11 reported tornadoes in the last 36 hours, some of which were around memphis, tennessee, so you can see that damage. The power poles right into cars, the walls ripped from these buildings. So this same cold front is now moving east. The associated low is going to bring really high winds from minnesota and iowa right through wisconsin. But talk about damaging wind potential from norfolk right through eastern North Carolina so, if youre in greensboro or newburn or fayetteville, youre all included.

Will be back with that. We have a lot of headlines were following right now as well including the latest on the impeachment inquiry heating up. A big day ahead as the democrats prepare to question that key witness on capitol hill, the ambassador that warned fellow diplomats it would be crazy to hold back aid to ukraine. Also right now, at least seven wildfires burning in california. New alerts for fire danger as temperatures rise and winds pick up. And the south is still hurting from those devastating tornadoes that pummeled parts of texas. And canadas Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has won an election for his second term. He survived the scandal of photos of him appearing in brownface. Were going to continue this halfhour with an abc news exclusive with Cameron Douglas, the son of michael, grandson of kirk, he was born into hollywood royalty but battles with drug addiction took him from the lap of luxury to federal prison. He and his father are opening up about his fame and the family that helped him find his way and its a revealing new primetime special with our dear friend diane. It is so great to see you. Youre so right, i want to roll some tape to remind everyone of the golden power and glamour of the Douglas Family in hollywood. And we look at them and their lives and how they lived and we think it insulates you from the anguish of a child you feel you are losing to drugs. And Michael Douglas is coming forward with his son this morning. I think its very brave because just in case there are other families out there living their terror too. Cameron douglas is now 40. He spent seven years behind bars including in maximum security and nearly two years in solitary confinement. Do i have this right, when you were 13 you were smoking pot. When you were 15 you were snorting cocaine. When you were 17, you had sampled crystal meth. 19, liquid cocaine. 26, heroin. How close were you to dying . Probably pretty close. You said, i was playing a ga. A kind of miracle youre okay . I like the sound of that word. It sounds good. Well see if i can turn it into that. I think that remains to be seen. Reporter as Cameron Douglas talks, its hard not to be distracted. Look at the faces of the three generations. That dynasty of douglas men. My father. My father. My father. Reporter the familys signature, a kind of tough glamour. Greed for the lack of a better word, is good. Reporter his father a powerhouse producer, hitmaking actor. His little boy watching him at awards shows from homend hoping to live up to the family name. Michael douglas. You said, i wanted to impress him. I wanted him to be my friend. I revered him. And good night, cameron. I love you. [ applause ] reporter Michael Douglas was 34 when his first child was born. Cute tushie. It is a cute tushie. Same tush. Even better. Cam. Cam. Reporter so how did it happen . A little boy changed so much becoming the teenager caught up in a rough and druggie crowd. Do you look back and say, the one thing i think maybe i could have tried was . You know, im just laughing because you rack your brain. You know, you take it personally and in the beginning you start blaming yourself. Then you look at your genetic makeup. My career was first. Thats your choice. That has nothing to do with me. My career came before my family. My marriage was not great and so you do hide yourself in your work. I should have, you know, focused more on my family, but thats hard to say when youre in the midst of a career, when you are in your own mind stepping out of your fathers shadow trying to create a life for your own. Reporter in a family rescue mission, grandfather and father invite cameron who has a gift for acting to costar in a movie with them as long as he goes to rehab first. The movie is called it runs in the family. Look at that thing. Thats a big one. You knew you were good in it . Yes. Yeah. Reporter in his book he writes that sometimes theres just a crack deep inside you, the one you try to fill with drugs and then the drugs take over as you recede from the safety of any shore. I thought that i was fundamentally not put together properly and that since that was the case, i was just going to take it as far as i could take it and come what may. It was almost like, you know, the one thing that i could count on, you know. And i guess, you know, i didnt have the courage to try to move forward without it. Reporter so look again at his double life, smiling with his family and retreating into his own apartment where he is playing dice with death. A friend had shown him a new way to use cocaine, inject it as a liquid into his veins. Your blood brings it up into your tongue and you can taste it. People call it a bell ringer because you literally hear bells ringing in your head. Reporter hes using two to three times an hour. The needles scar his veins. Theyre collapsing, first in his arms then in his legs. At one point you do your rib cage. My rib cage, my neck. You shot cocaine into your neck . Yes. Reporter his famous father we watch and think must be living a troublefree life but, in reality, Michael Douglas is despairing and searching for his child just like so many other parents across the country. Trying to figure out what to do. What to do, what to do. Its like having jekyll and hyde trying to save his life. Ive never seen him as bad i dont know what else to do. He is missing in action right now. Reporter at one point, a frantic Michael Douglas even hires two men in effect to kidnap him and take him to rehab. Cameron gets so aggressive, the mission is called off. I think everything made me angry because i was so angry at myself. He was desperate. Desperate. Beside himself. Do you stop talking to him . I think we stopped talking for quite a while after that. Reporter so Michael Douglas makes a decision, he manages to reach his son on the phone to say, i love you, youre my son. I cant do this anymore because i think youre going to die. Youre going to kill somebody or you were going to get killed. It had reached a point where i thought i was going to lose him based on everything i had seen, and was not willing to emotionally commit anymore. And you said dont you love me anymore, dad . Those words were heartbreaking to me. At what point do you protect yourself or your other loved ones around you before you get dragged into this and it falls apart . It destroys you. It just destroys you. And youre going to hear about prison, seven years in prison, and the proof that you never know when your prayers are going to be answered. And how theyre going to be answered. In a very unusual way. Thats right. Youll hear about it. I think of this i said to them is this a love story but where you hold on for dear life in the middle . And it really is a family love story. It is so powerful. And hopefully its going to help some other families too. Thats why theyre doing it, because of all the families around the country going through this too. Thats right. Douglas dynasty fame, addiction, finding home airs tonight with this woman right here, diane sawyer, 10 00 9 00 central on abc. And camerons new book, long way home out today, right . Thats right. Comi up, star wars the rise of skywalker, well break down the blockbuster trailer. Thats next. Down the blockbuster trailer. Thats next. It stronger. Faster. Smarter.

Its completely breaking the internet and star wars fans try to piece together the clues and t. J. Is back with the details and hopefully some clues for the fans out there. And stra, thank goodness for this trailer. It was the only thing worth watching during monday night football last night. Youre right about that. It debuted at halftime of the patriots 330 drubbing of the jets last night but, still, even for jets fans when they saw this trailer you had to get excited, you get chills and even went and got a ticket. What are you doing, 3po . Taking one last look, sir, at my friends. Reporter the rise of skywalker marks the culmination of a ninefilm saga on what would have been the late carrie fishers 63rd birthday. The trailer for the newest Star Wars Film premiered during monday night football. People keep telling me they know me and no one does. But i do. The rise of skywalker became the number one worldwide trend. Fans got their first glimpse in more than a decade of the space operas grand villain, emperor palpatine. Long have i waited. Reporter seen here descending done rey. We also see rey and kylo ren going at it in what appears to be the shell of the destroyed death star, apparently the same one from return of thje hate has made you powerful. Reporter earlier in the day a new poster debuted and tickets went on sale. Users online reported long wait types to purchase those tickets. Its the destiny of a jedi. Your destiny. Reporter the saga is ending. The trailer reminds us this story will live forever and what appears to be the voices of Mark Hamills Luke Skywalker and carrie fishers Princess Leia leaving us with a final reminder. The force will be with you. Always. Wow. Yeah. All right, so the movie coming out december 20th, but give you some perspective here, guys, the ticketselling website said in the first half hour doubles those for the Avengers Endgame.

The fda approving a new treatment that could impact the lives of almost everyone living with the disease. Dr. Jennifer ashton joins us news all the details on this so for people who are unfamiliar with Cystic Fibrosis, what are the basics of this rare disease. Michael, Cystic Fibrosis is a rare and potentially lifethreatening disease that is progressive. Its caused by a defect in a certain protein and leads to a buildup of mucus that affects almost organ system, respiratory, digestive, increasing the risk for infections and leading to diabetes. There is no cure so theres just treatment. And so this breakthrough with this new drug, we hear its a little bit ahead of schedule. How is that possible and tell us a little more about it. Thats part of the story behind the story. This drug got fda approval five months ahead of schedule which is definitely unusual. According to the fda, part of the reason for that it was granted priority review, fast track and breakthrough therapy status and orphan Drug Designation which is used to invent advise treatment for rare and lifethreatening diseases, in terms of this drug its called tricafta and thought to be a possible option for 90 of people suffering with cc fibrosis who were previously out of options. It is approved for patients 12 years of age and older, Clinical Trials showed an improvement in lung function of about 10 to 13 . Some side effects, increase in liver function, flu and rash and the price tag for the drug, 311,000 a year. It remains to be seen how much insurance and medicaid will cover some or all of that. You know, when this happens, you get so excited about this breakthrough then you hear the price tag. Insurance companies will have to step up or it wont be available. Thats a shame. Yep.

Now, people took that little moment and made videos, memes and countless tiktoks and it spread like wildfire and now the , riseandshine has over 1 billion views on tiktok. Miley cyrus was into it.

Becky worley got in the car with the head of waze to find out how and joins us from san francisco. Hey, becky. Good morning, michael. Be thankful youre already at work. Get this the average american sits in traffic 97 hours a year. For commuters its worse. In chicago, the average 69 minutes a day to and from work, new york, 81 minutes, you guys, its awful out there. So hacking even a few minutes off your commute can really add up to less stress. Commuting is a nightmare. Why is there so much traffic . I have been sitting at the same stop sign for ten minutes. Reporter this morning were going to hack your commute. Driving from the suburbs of new jersey into new york city with noam bardin, ceo of waze finding out what we can do to make the drive a little easier. So ive input our address. 55 minutes to go1 miles. Thats a morning commute. Reporter 115 million americans commute each day and it can cost as much as 5,000 a year to drive to and from work. Our commutes are getting woe, traffic is getting worse. Its getting worse because we have more and more cars on the road. The cars are set to double by 2040. Reporter so first hack, to beat the hoards of humid think about when you drive. This tool in waze estimates travel time based on historical averages so for this commute into chicago, leave a little earlier at 7 06 instead of 7 18 and your total drive time would be 18 minutes shorter. Remember mapquest. Theyre still around then they have a network of live traffic cams in their app. Pretty helpful. Next consider a route rethink. Taking a different route can save youtime. Reporter surface streets can be more stressful. Does honking help . It helps emotionally. Makes you feel better. Youre doing something. Okay. I feel better. I told him. Reporter but the biggest new thing in making commutes faster and less expensive, carpools organized by apps. Carpooling is amazing but carpooling is a hassle. We want to take the hassle out of carpooling. Reporter waze carpool asks you to input where you live, where you work and when you need to be there and connect drivers and passengers. Even debiting riders to pay a small amount to drivers that is meant to help cover gas. Some drivers making as much as 150 a month. Well, last month alone, waze put 500,000 carpoolers together so try it once. Maybe its a game changer in shortening your commute and oh, yeah, saving the planet too. Great hacks. Thats it. Hey, becky, always good to see you. Thank you.

Oh, gosh. Yes. My gosh. Welcome to the show. Yes. Yes. [ applause ] you know, before we get started youre always busy with a lot of Great Projects like this film but dealing with something that a lot of parents can relate to. When your kid is off at college and you posted on instagram you have an interesting way of coping now that your daughter is at school and what are you doing . What are you doing . Im just having a little sniff of one of her socks while shes away. Of course. The socks. Actually i did that mainly to embarrass her. If you leave home im going through your underwear drawer huffing and smelling your underpants and your socks. [ laughter ] im not really. I just did it. You have a great relationship. Yes. Does she check in with you . Never again. Does she check in with you and does she keep you in check. Oh, yeah, im terrified of her. What do you mean . Absolutely. Yeah. I was on a talk show the other night. How do you feel about wrapping hamilton. She would never speak to me again. It would be over so i try to behave myself as much as i possibly can. Its a good thing . Well keep it safe and talk about the new movie. What an amazing story. Its based on something that was really happening in the 60s and 70s, my jeer an families farming out their kids to White British citizens. Tell us more. I think a lot of people in the uk didnt know about this at the time. Its great to be telling the story. I guess there was nigerian families would give their children to these sort of White Working Class families slightly outside of london thinking they would have a better chance at and actually it was not very tolerant areas that they were sending these children to who most of the time they were the only black people anyone had seen in that area and so my character is actually the writer and director its his real life story so im playing his foster mother so i had eight or nine little kids, little nigerian kids and he was the main one that the story focuses on and got into hating himself and his color and feeling just awful and then ended up joining this racist gang and becoming the leader of it and so insane that you kind of cant believe this happened and has just become the most educated evolved fantastic human ever. So the story is hard. Its a really difficult story but its a true story and it does have this wonderful redempsre redemptive. This is the clip of when he is running into trouble. He is promising a student hes done well in his tests he can handle himself. I know what it feels like to hate what you are. I know that feeling and if we dont do something to help him it will be a tragic waste. I can take care of me own kids. Find some other charity case. Ooh. Your character has a tough side but we know behind the scenes you were being very motherly with nine children. My worst nightmare. [ laughter ] yeah, exactly. Imagine how that could be and it wasnt, it was lovely. They were all just heaven but they only ever met me like that so i had quite physically, you know, differences from the character so i had these sort of pretend boobs made of leaptles and big bottom piece and wig and eye bags so only knew me like that. When they finished the movie they had absolutely no idea who i was. That is the most gentle way ive ever had it put. Bottom piece. [ laughter ] i love it. And we want to thank you. This is like you said resonating story with great redemptive story and thank you so much for being here. Always appreciate it.

[ applause ] back here on gma, as you can see, we are surrounded by amazing images from National Geographic magazine. This morning and if youre noticing, they are all photos of women. National geographic has compiled hundreds of images that celebrate, celebrate the lives of women over the last 130 years and put them in a beautiful new book called women the National Geographic image collection, and susan goldberg, the editor in chief of National Geographic is here to talk all about it. [ applause ] lovely to see you. Thank you for this. It is stunning. It is absolutely stunning. Why now . Why now . Were having a moment of female empowerment around the globe with women demanding and getting their rights. Everywhere you look and were on about the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to vote right here in the United States so it seemed like the perfect time to really look at how women have been depicted over the last three centuries. Its wonderful how you just when you look at it, susan, the narrative arc when you see where women are then, where we were then, where we are now. Lets start from 100 years ago. Pictures, how they were depicted. You start out with women depicted in such traditional roles, women with babies and, you know, taking care of children. You know, then we have a long period where women are beautiful objects, just gorgeous, you know, displays of themselves, just beautiful like this picture from the 1930s. That continues in the 40s and 50s like that that we were on display so to speak. Especially in the 40s and 50s, long period of smiley pictures of women almost used as props showing off objects or what is she showing off. I believe thats a trout. Dont you go fishing like that. Exactly. You know, but then as we move into the 60s and especially into the 70s, we start seeing images that look a lot more like real life. There is a beautiful picture from the early 70s of vermont of this woman sitting on this porch looking very pensive, maybe shes just looking for her kids or shes just come out of the kitchen, but its a very much more real image. Yeah, real life images in that period. Well, it did get real and then it gets even more real. We start getting real emotion in images. Were seeing pictures of rage, theres a very frightening picture really out of jerusalem from the early 1980s, you know, so real emotions and also seeing women doing things that before only men had been seen doing like working, we have an image out of india of these brick haulers, so this is taken in about 2000 and a Beautiful Image from kenya from one of the only female gamekeepers. So weve got women doing all of these things and whats changed is not only are women doing is taking the pictures . Lso who theyre now taking the pictures. You have an illustration of that and you also bring in women currently of today. Oh, absolutely. And we have a lot more women photographers and i think its fair to say that women and men often view the world through different lenses and so female photographers might see the world differently. We have a wonderful picture of women getting educated. This is from 2017. Its spellman college. You can see the joy. The gorgeous young woman with her aunt and mom on graduation day. You can see the pride too. Such a happy, happy, wonderful picture. And i also love that women are now even being pictured as warriors, as the warriors we know that women really are. But now were seeing that. Weve got this amazing picture. This is corporal gabrielle green in the marines and you can see shes training for deployment. She is prey much slung a 200pound man over her shoulder walking up a steep ramp and that tattoo says the fire inside me burns brighter than the fire around me. Oh, wow. Which is an amazing message. A woman photographer as well who took that picture. Absolutely. This is linsey adairio who is one of our combat photographers. One of the best in the world. [ applause ] and the magazine itself is going to have on the cover absolutely. We are so excited about the november issue of our magazine. It is the first in our 131year history that is all written and photographed by women contributors. Oh, my goodness. First time ever. [ applause ] thats beautiful. You also in the book, you talk to so many incredible women, all walks of life, politicians, athletes, celebrities. Was there a Common Thread through them all and advice you give to young women here. Yeah, well, the first thing i noticed made me sad because here you had as you say some of the most amazing women in the world and so many of them talked about the lack of confidence that they had suffered themselves or that they see other women really working on. When i talked to Oprah Winfrey she called the disease that so many women are afflicted with. Nancy pelosi said she didnt think women could reach their full potential without feeling that selfconfidence. Even jennifer dudna, a breakthrough scientist and amazing woman talked about how she didnt think she had what it took to really do great science. So that was i thought that was a little bit sobering. On the other hand what i loved was the advice that these women were giving to younger women. Whats that. It was empowering, it was go be yourself. Melinda gates said fitting in is overrated. Nancy pelosi said, know your power. I mean, alex morgan said dont be discouraged on your journey. It was all about knowing who you were, going for your ambition and just living your own life. We can all hear that. [ applause ] an absolute delight. It is an absolutely beautiful book. And the november issue of National Geographic online and on newsstands october 29th and the book is available now wherever books are sold. [ applause ] thank you. Over to ginger. Ginger. Thank you, robin. It is National Make a dogs day. That was coined by our sponsor subaru and loves pets campaign. We have Matt Bershadker with gina. We will get to her in a moment. Tell me about the campaign. Subaru created National Make a dogs day to shine a light on the more difficult to doesnt dogs in our shelters. Every year 3. 3 million dogs enter shelters. This campaign will help us place dogs like gina in homes and it is a true testament to the deep commitment that subaru has to finding a home for every dog. We have a 12year partnership with them and over that time they donated 25 million to the aspca helping us save thousands and thousands of loofes. Thousands of lives could include good evening that. Tell me more about her story. So gina came to us through the partnership with the Police Department and was covered with lacerations. Couldnt put weight on her front shoulder. We believe it was from human abuse but after care and love and therapy, she is a wonderful pet and will make someone a loyal, loving, fantastic animal and hoping that today shes ready. Shes ready to be adopted today. Matt, thank you very much. If you want to help, you can actually drop off products like the ones we have right here on this table at a participating subaru retailer to get in on all the ac now, can we talk dancing with the stars . Because that elimination last night had my jaw on the floor. Sailor brinkleycook and her partner val sent home after getting their best scores yet. It really made no sense so we spoke to them exclusively after the incredible emotional night in the ballroom. This was the fateful moment that Christie Brinkley broke her arm in rehearsals. Oh, my arm, my arm, my arm. I think i broke my arm. I swear to god. Her daughter stepping in, christie telling us. This has been such an emotional roller coaster and i thought what can i do . I have to find the Silver Lining and sailor ended up being the golden Silver Lining coming to my rescue. Reporter sailor was a crowd favorite for weeks from dancing to uptown girl to her disney night waltz but americas vote leading to a shocking elimination. The couple that has the edge are aly. Sailor and val sent home after the judges chose to save ally and sasha. Speaking exclusively to gma. I love this experience so much and loved going to the studio and being able to do something i never thought i could do. Val, a veteran of the ballroom telling us this. Were very proud that sailor was able to step up to the plate and create a Silver Lining to a terrible situation and, again, this season 28 has been a crazy roller coaster. Reporter and sailor with a final message. I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported me because i know im not a big star but was so happy to have done something that i was so afraid of. [ applause ] so who will get eliminated next . Thats not a forecast ill put out. I obviously have no idea whats going on. You can find out next monday night at 8 00 p. M. Eastern right here on abc.

[ applause ] the fst one, investigation discovery show called truth about murder. Tell us about it. I wanted to tell stories about real people. I wanted to tell stories from the victims perspective because i know when a crime happen, george, it really affects the victims family. It affects the communities, it affects the Law Enforcement officers that investigate these crimes and i know we hear a lot about celebrity crimes, you know and we hear a lot about these cases. What happened in the mind of the killer . And i think those cases are important and those stories are important. But i wanted to tell a different type of story. These are about everyday people. You do that in the First Episode. You talk to the mother of one of the victims. Yeah. And my whole life changed. My whole life changed. I regret not giving her that one kiss. I was just like, why didnt i just give her that one kiss, you know. Yeah, she lost her daughter and the day that the last day she saw her daughter her daughter asked her for a kiss and she said, youre grown now, you dont need a kiss from me and it was the last time she saw her and she blames herself for that and i just thought as a mom myself, my goodness, you think about that when you lose someone, what were my last moments like and gloria who lost her daughter danielle in our First Episode still replays that moment every single day of her life. Ill bet she does. Also a new podcast. I do. I do. Called have you seen this man . What an idea about a death row inmate 40 years and just they allowed him to go Christmas Shopping one day with a group of other inmates and he never came back. And he never came back. And the work thats been done by matthew moss, the abc investigative unit, the u. S. Marshal service, it has just been incredible. We have folks that have been looking for Lester Eubanks for over 40 years and we know that hes still alive . They know that. We know it because his family has been interviewed by the marshal service.
