The battle to be the best is under way on jeopardy ken jennings just one win away from claiming the title of g. O. A. T. , greatest of all time. But as we know, anything could happen. Hes going to be in the hall of fame for that. Good music choice this morning. That was good. We have a very busy friday. We have a lot of news to get to and we begin with new developments in that deadly plane disaster in iran. Growing suspicion this morning that the ukrainian airliner was brought down by an iranian missile. Iran is still denying responsibility but new video has surfaced appearing to show the moment a missile hits, downing the jet, killing all 176 on board. Our Senior Transportation correspondent david kerley starts us off with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, george. Despite the growing chorus from National Leaders and a growing body of evidence from the intelligence community, iran continues to deny that it shot down that 737 with 176 on board, and that despite this latest piece of evidence, that video apparently showing a direct hit. Iran this morning denies this is the moment of impact a skyward missile hitting that 737, a momentary flash of light and seconds later, an explosive sound. Taken from a neighborhood where the ukrainian jet was last tracked, the video appearing to confirm what a u. S. Source tells abc news, that intelligence sources are confident an iranian antiaircraft missile hit that jetliner. This video of the crippled jet captured in this tehran neighborhood, the jet in flames breaking apart and exploding three miles away. The power of that ground impact captured by a cctv camera and shown on iranian media. This morning, National Leaders from britain, even ukraine echoing what canadas Prime Minister first declared. The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an iranian surfacetoair missile. This may well have been unintentional. Reporter 63 canadians were among the 176 lost in the crash. The American Intelligence Community believes that iran turned on and aimed a radar at the jetliner. A radar signal to guide antiaircraft missiles from a mobile launcher. A u. S. Satellite saw the firing of two missiles at the 737. The warheads of those missiles would explode near the aircraft, spraying shrapnel that would pierce the aircraft in multiple locations. Pictures of the wreckage seem to highlight holes blasted through the jet, shrapnel holes. Experts suggest that just less than four hours after iran had fired missiles at american targets in iraq, tensions were high at the iranian antiaircraft batteries and a mistake may have been made which killed dozens of iranians as well as canadians. They were basically the kindest souls that i knew. Reporter many of those canadians on board were students. Words simply cannot express the grief that we are feeling on campus. Were a closeknit community. Reporter the ukrainian president paused for that loss as he called for an open investigation and for the west to share that radar and satellite data. Iran has been defiant, an official claiming it was scientifically impossible to shoot down the jetliner, but look at what the iranian government did. This was the scene just after the crash. Abc news obtained this exclusive video just about 24 hours later, and the wreckage has been cleared, the evidence gone. Iran again this morning showing off the black boxes, but apparently has not pulled the data from either one. The answers to this tragedy are in those boxes. And that cleaned up wreckage. Iran has now invited western countries to take part investigate investigation including the u. S. , but because of a technicality, the ntsb cant accept it until the Trump Administration says so because of sanctions. If the ntsb is allowed to participate, its most likely able to invite boeing as well. Cecilia . David kerley, thank you. There are still so many questions about this so lets bring in steve ganyard. Good morning. Assuming this was an accidental shootdown, how could Something Like this happen . Its inconceivable, isnt it, cecilia . How could you shoot down an airliner with innocent civilians. But think about it, you had a poorly trained crew in the middle of a field, in the middle of the night thinking that they were about to get attacked and they see an aircraft. They lock it up. They pull the trigger and they shoot. A terrible, terrible mistake, and its happened before. You remember the Malaysian Air shootdown just five years ago in the ukraine. In 1988 a u. S. Navy ship shot down an iranian jet. In 2001 you had a ukrainian battery shoot down a russian airplane, so unfortunately, these terrible mistakes have happened in the past. We saw that video as you were talking now and in davids piece that seems to show the crash site already cleared. What happens to this investigation now . Well, as david said, we need to get International Investigators in there as soon as possible because when you ball up all the wreckage like that, think of it like a crime scene. Youre contaminating the crime scene. Youre not able to piece together what actually happened based on whats remaining. We need to get International Investigators in there and be able to look at the wreckage and piece together and find out what really brought this down and prove that it was a missile that the iranians shot at this airplane. If there is no crash site, the iranians are now saying that the black boxes were damaged, is all the evidence gone . Cecilia, actually in this case i dont think the black boxes will be helpful. They will show this was a perfectly good airplane right up until the moment of impact. What we need do is look at the metal of that aircraft, look for things like residual powder, look for slhrapnel, the kinds of things that would prove that this actually was brought down by a missile. The iranians are doing their best to cover that up and so getting International Investigators in there as soon as possible so we can tell the truth to the world is the most important thing that needs to be done now. So many questions. Steve ganyard, thank you. Michael . These developments come as an iranian general now says that Missile Launch on u. S. Forces in iraq was just the first stage. Our senior Foreign Correspondent ian pannell is in erbil, iraq with more. Good morning, ian. Reporter yeah, good morning, michael. Overnight new threats from iran. A top Iranian Revolutionary guard commander general calling on all their proxy groups throughout the region to take action saying the missile strikes were the start of, quote, big operations that will continue. The commander saying that they could have killed hundreds and thousands of u. S. Troops if they had chosen to. Now, the flags behind the general interesting represent various pro iranian militias from iraq, lebanon, even afghanistan, some described as terrorist organizations by the u. S. , and of course this is a sign of how far and wide irans influence stretches. What it shows is were not out of the woods yet, and tensions are really going to persist as long as this threat goes on, and as long as u. S. Forces remain in the region, george. Ian, thanks very much. The iran crisis front and center of president Trumps Campaign rally in ohio overnight as he faces a looming impeachment trial and growing questions about the evidence used to justify the killing of irans top commander. Our Senior National correspondent terry moran is tracking it all at the white house. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. Today the president is going to announce new sanctions on iran in the countrys ruling elites and nonoil industries while many here in congress are pushing for some kind of new check on the president s warmaking powers. With growing calls from congress to provide the actual evidence used to justify the u. S. Strike on qassem soleimani, secretary of state mike pompeo stopped short of sharing specifics. There is no doubt that there were a series of imminent attacks that were being plotted by qassem soleimani. We dont know precisely when and we dont know precisely where, but it was real. Reporter but at his rally last night, President Trump continued to claim there was a plot to attack u. S. Embassies. Soleimani was actively planning new attacks and he was looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad, but we stopped him and we stopped him quickly and we stopped him cold. Reporter democrats and some republicans have criticized the administration for offering contradicting information and still no hard evidence that an attack was imminent. With the president s actions last week, he endangered our servicemen and women, our diplomats. Reporter the house delivering a sharp but largely symbolic rebuke on thursday, passing a nonbinding measure on a mostly party line. The bill has passed. Reporter demanding that unless President Trump receives congressional approval, hostilities against iran must end within 30 days. But the president says in some circumstances he cannot wait on congress. They want us to call can you imagine calling crooked adam schiff. Say, gee, adam, how are you doing . Listen, we have the worlds number one terrorist, killed thousands and thousands of people. Wed like to set up a meeting so we can discuss his execution. Reporter many lawmakers are fuming over what they say are inadequate briefings about the attack on soleimani. They say there was no mention of any evidence of attacks on u. S. Embassies. George. The impeachment trial still looming, but nobody knows exactly when. Nancy pelosi Still Holding onto those articles of impeachment, and all she is saying is she will send them soon. Reporter soon. Shes still looking for leverage, trying to get Mitch Mcconnell to call witnesses in the trial of the president and the senate. She risks losing momentum with this impeachment, and it feels now more like a highway bill than a constitutional process. Okay, terry moran. Thank you so much. The speaker will be my exclusive guest this sunday on this week. Ceci cecilia . We turn to the storm barrelling across the country with Severe Weather starting today, bringing snow, flash flooding and tornados. Ginger is back with all the latest. Reporter good morning, cecilia. An abundance of dangers across the map here. You can see ice from kansas city to west michigan, floods all the way to vermont and then severe storms and thats where i want to focus on, the deep south, from texas the through oklahoma into the plains, arkansas and louisiana. Were going to see this front come through. You can see the stream line here. We have the moisture and heat coming up against that much colder air. You know there are going to be storms and this is a sobering Severe Weather episode that could happen today because were going to see these start to erupt in a couple of waves. Within those waves you could see isolated storms probably not ahead but within the storm structure, the damaging wind line. Thats west of i35. Then look at this, it all becomes a 75plus mileperhour wind gust possibilities, hail could be in too. This goes all the way east into western tennessee by tonight, michael. A little bit of everything. Ginger, thank you so much. Now to those explosive newly released messages from boeing about the now grounded 737 max jets. In internal documents employees mocked the faa and even appeared to conceal problems from regulators before those two crashes that killed 350 people. Whit johnson has the details. Reporter a trove of documents released overnight paint an embarrassing picture for boeing and its handling of the 737 max. Hundreds of emails and instant messages show employees mocking the faa, the company, and problems with the airplane. In one exchange, a boeing employee asks, would you put your family on a max simulatortrained aircraft . I wouldnt. Another apparently joking says, i still havent been forgiven by god for the covering up i did last year. Several others blast the aircrafts designers. One writing, this airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys. The question is whether or not it reflects the attitude of a wider group of people at boeing. That would be very difficult for the company to overcome without doing a lot of housekeeping. Reporter still others are slamming federal regulators, claiming the faa were neither thorough nor demanding and failed to write up many issues. After all, boeing has nothing to gain and everything to lose by being slapdash in safety. However, if the attitude is were going to mislead the faa, thats something that has to be addressed. Reporter the fastest selling jetliner ever for boeing, it was grounded following two deadly crashes, killing nearly 350 people. Boeing released a statement apologizing saying in part, these communications do not reflect the company we are and need to be, and they are completely unacceptable. The faa called the tone and content disappointing but said theres nothing in these documents that points to any new safety risks, in other words, something they didnt already know about. These emails just blow you away. Absolutely. So much trouble for boeing. Okay, whit. Thanks very much. We move on and switch gears. Blockbuster jeopardy showdown after last nights match, ken jennings now just one win away from the greatest of all time crown. Our jeopardy correspondent t. J. Holmes is here. Thank you, t. J. Thank you for that title. First two nights of this competition came down to the very last clue so a lot of suspense. Last night wasnt the case. Night three was different, but it was the shock of the tournament because of James Holzhauer. The phenom was blown out. Yes, the guy known as jeopardy james was just plain old james last night. The battle to win 1 million continues on jeopardy reporter night three of jeopardy s greatest of all time tournament and James Holzhauer looked mortal.

All right, youre tied with ken and brad. Reporter and look who decided to show up, brad rutter. After rough showing his first two nights of coming in last, rutter showed signs of life and was in it for a stretch. Who is john irving . Reporter instead, ken jennings dominated, building a lead by betting it all jeopardy james style. I have to do it all, alex. 900 points. Reporter it was a move that was too risky for comfort. I dont want to do that again. Reporter but it was enough to give the 74game champ a Comfortable Lead and he coasted the rest of the way. This twoword phrase marks the end of friendly generational relations. Ken . I get to say it to alex. What is okay, boomer. Reporter jennings told me at the tapings he was ready to turn the tables on holzhauer. Im not an aggressive jeopardy player by nature. I like to play comfortably out there but i think theres going to be some big bets. Reporter and a win last night for jeopardy s writers. They stumped all three on the final jeopardy clue. Who are ang, lee and gonzalez. Reporter holzhauer decided to be funny. Trebek not amused. You started to write pat sajak. Is that right . I wish you had risked more points. Ladies and gentlemen, id like to welcome you to the jeopardy comedy hour. So a little fun last night with these guys, but yes, brad rutter, show me something. Brad rutter, he still came in third, just not as distant of a third, so we will take it. But hes still got a shot. Still got a shot. Start again on tuesday. It would be the greatest comeback of all time. It would be. Okay, t. J. Thanks very much. We are following a lot of other stories this morning including the queen calling an emergency family meeting after harry and meghan publicly defy her. This as duchess meghan flies to canada to be with baby archie. First, ginger is back from covering those devastating wildfires in australia. This morning, credible outlets are saying up to 25 million acres burned now. Thats a huge jump but i anticipated it because while we were there, guys, we drove the distance as if we drove l. A. To San Francisco and it was all burnt and thats just the part i drove. You can imagine that blackened earth just never ending, right. So thats what we experienced but you know that there are more than a billion animals dead. Theyre worried that some of those species are now going to be extinct. We also worry that it is far from over. If i can show you the forecast, the temperatures there have been 102 in places that still have the potential to burn. So were concerned about that and the wind today but were happy more than 100 firefighters showed up and more than 100 coming from the u. S. Your local weather in 30 seconds.

First the top headlines that were following right now. Iran is pushing back against growing evidence that their own missile took down that passenger airplane, killing all 176 people on board. This new video shows what appears to be the moment the 737 is hit. Also right now, that major storm we told you about, its barrelling across the country. Texas to maine are on alert for snow, rain, ice and tornados throughout the weekend. Look at this one, guys, a coyote on the loose causing chaos in chicago, attacking two people. Thankfully, residents can now rest easy. Overnight officers say they tracked it down and brought it to animal control, but wow. Hard to imagine in chicago. We turn now to the growing fallout from harry and meghans royal exit. Queen elizabeth called an emergency family meeting. Meghan is flying back to canada where they left baby archie with a nanny. James longman is at Buckingham Palace with the latest. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, george. This royal crisis rumbles on. Meghan has left the country while her husband deals with the fallout. The most senior members of the royal family in ongoing talks about just how harry and meghan can step back from royal life. This morning, the duchess of sussex is back in canada after she and harry dropped their royal pullback bombshell. Baby archie remained there while his parents were at on appearance. Harry still in the u. K. Where his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, is leading crisis talks with charles and william. The queen and three princes looking for a workable solution. Abc news has learned prince harry defied a direct order from the queen to keep discussions about taking a step back private until the family had come to an agreement about the future, and that neither william nor charles were to send a statement ten minutes before it was sent out to the entire world. The discussions were in early phases so the royal family was not prepared and not ready to have to announce the outcome of what their new roles might be, but clearly the sussexes very much wanted to press on and put out what they hoped would happen. Reporter in their announcement, harry and meghan say they intend to work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support the queen. This morning questions over exactly what that means, what sort of jobs they might hold and who will pay for their security, travel and homes. The reality is even if they can free themselves from public funding which is logistically quite tricky, even if they can do that, will the royal family and the British Public accept a setup where they are at times representing the queen, they are hrhes, and then at other times they are taking a private income, operating autonomously. Reporter being a royal is big business for the family and the country. The royals generating an estimated 2. 3 billion in tourism revenue each year but running a monarchy is costly. Harry and meghans 2018 wedding watched by an estimated 2 billion people around the world cost a reported 40 million, much of it spent on security. Just last year, the couple used over 3 million to renovate their home, frogmore cottage. They say they want to earn their own money and give up the public fund that pays for britains royals, but theyve been criticized for their plans for Prince Charles to continue bankrolling them with 95 of their expenses paid for by the heir to the throne. I think they have let the queen down. They have to do whats best for them. Reporter its that question of money that continues to hang over all this. The primary purpose, remember, of royal family members is to support the monarch. If harry and meghan are not going to spend as much time doing that, whos going to pay for them . If they earn money privately, who decides whats appropriate . There is still so much that is still unclear. Sure is. James, thanks very much. Lets bring in our royal contributor robert jobson. Hes also at Buckingham Palace this morning. Boy, robert, talk about tense. Try to take us inside what that family meeting is going to be like. Reporter well, typically royal, they wont be in the room together. Theyre all doing this on conference call. The queen is in the east of england and Prince Charles is in scotland, and harry in windsor and william in london. This will be as they discuss exactly how the future of the monarchy and the future of this particular wing of the royal family will continue. Is it fair to say that Prince Charles is kind of running the show right now . Yes, it is. Weve been in a transition in the monarchy for some time. You cant expect the queen in her mid90s to be doing the same level of work and commitment as she would have done say, 10, 15 years ago. And also, Prince Charles is planning for the future, so this has come as a bit of a bombshell for him because hes been trying to deal with his youngest son who sees himself, as we revealed this morning, about being a disrupter and innovator of the royal family. He sees himself as wanting to change the royal family and Prince Charles is having to deal with all that. Prince charles certainly holds the Purse Strings. Could he end up cutting off meghan and harry . They rely on him for funding. They totally rely on him for funding. The profit from cornwall estate is there for him to use, around about 32, 35 million a year that he has. Now, its a question for him what he does for that. The way that harry and meghan have behaved in this, almost holding a gun to his and the queens head, will not be going down too well. Im sure that he will be looking at financing his son. He loves his son, and these discussions, im told, have been very calm and pragmatic, but ultimately he does hold the Purse Strings and its a question of whether he decides to continue to keep paying. Robert, you mentioned 35, 40 million, but when this decision comes down to if theyre going to move on or not, who makes the decision . We say its a family meeting but does that include advisers, pr people . What does that actually include in this meeting . Whos on this call . At the moment its only the senior members of the royal family. Thats the queen, charles and prince william, the future heir to the throne that are involved in this meeting along with harry. Whats happened so far is the queen has instructed royal aides to liaise with government to try to work out a deal that would be satisfactory for harry and meghan. Whether or not that can happen well wait and see but they have been told to work this out, but ultimately the decision will come down to the queen and charles. To be a fly on the wall of that phone call. Well see. Im sure it will be handled soon. Robert jobson, thank you so much. Were going to turn now to the race to rescue dozens of tourists trapped on a glacier in the middle of a blizzard in iceland. Some of them stuck more than 11 hours, and linsey davis is here with this incredible story. Good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, michael. 39 people were on that tour. A blizzard was in the forecast and all but one of the snowmobile tours was canceled that day and it ended with some fearing for their lives. A wild rescue in treacherous conditions. 200 Emergency Personnel braving a blizzard to rescue a tour group including three americans on this icelandic glacier. Barry and his wife michelle were looking forward to a funfilled snowmobiling excursion when the wind picked up. It was blowing into us all the time, and up into our visors, and the visors were solid with ice underneath. We kept having to pull the ice from underneath the helmets. Our eyes were icy cold. Reporter as the blizzard set in, barry and michelle became increasingly concerned about antonio, a teenager in their group. He was drifting in and out of consciousness and he had one hand on the guys back and one hand on barrys chest to try and stop the frostbite getting to him. I thought, my god, im going to die, but im okay. Reporter the minister of tourism expressed concern about why the company, the mountaineers of iceland, went forward with the tour despite weather forecasts warning of a severe storm approaching. The manager of operations for the company admitted it was a mistake. The company said a delay in the tour caused them to run into the bad weather. If it wasnt for the icelandic search and rescue, i think we probably wouldnt be here. The company went on to say that a visit to an ice cave is what caused the group to be delayed on their way up the glacier but aside from some frostbite, fortunately no one was hurt, a far cry from some people who as you heard here feared for their lives. Lucky. Terrifying. Linsey, thank you. Coming up, that body shaming backlash. Lizzo criticized by celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels for her size. Well tell you about the size this morning.

Celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels under fire for the comments that she made about lizzos size, saying we should be celebrating her music and not her body. Adrienne bankert is here with more on this. This is a big controversy. Reporter a lot of people are talking about this. Good morning to all of you. Jillian michaels says she loves lizzos music but that obesity is dangerous, even if saying so is politically incorrect. Reporter this morning a social Media Firestorm after celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels spoke out about pop star lizzos weight on buzzfeeds a. M. To d. M. Morning show. Im sure shes a cool, awesome chick but why are we celebrating her body . Why does it matter . Thats what im saying. Like, why arent we celebrating her music .

Calm and confident there. We have a lot of news to get to starting with the latest on that deadly plane disaster in iran. Growing evidence that the ukrainian airliner was brought down by an iranian missile. The iranians pushing back. Lets go back to david kerley with the latest on the investigation and new video showing what appears to be the moment of impact. Good morning, david. Good morning, george. This morning, as you mentioned, growing evidence that iran denies though that it shot down that ukrainian 737 with 176 on board, but the latest piece of evidence is this video apparently showing the moment that the warhead exploded and another piece of video showing the jet on fire and falling from the sky. Both videos from tehran neighborhoods near where that jet was last tracked. U. S. Intelligence community is confident this was a shootdown, a source tells abc news. Canadas Prime Minister says it may have been unintentional, but look at this, the scene shortly after the crash, and exclusive video we obtained from the same site less than 24 hours later. The wreckage has been cleared, the evidence gone. It is that evidence and the black boxes which the iranians have that should confirm whether this was a shootdown. The iranians though have now invited the u. S. And other countries to be involved with the investigation. George . Well be watching. David, thanks very much. Michael.

The singer saying this album, quote, represents a look into my journey of healing and growth. Its by far the work im most proud of to date. Congratulations. Very personal. Heres a moment you might have missed at the golden globes. Turns out that reese witherspoon, my personal favorite, asked beyonce and jayz to share some of the champagne they brought to the show. Jennifer aniston shared the moment enjoying some of queen beys bubbly on instagram and posted this photo writing, quote, reese, this is one of the many reasons i love you. We ran out of water at our table so naturally she asked jayz and beyonce for a glass of their champagne. As one does. Thats adorable because thats a natural linear progression. To make sure reese stays hydrated and never runs out of bubbles again, bey and jay took it upon themselves to send reese a whole case of the famous champagne called ace of spades with a simple a note that simply said, more water. Reese had someone special at her home to share it with. Take a look. 11 30 im drinking champagne. Is it too early to drink . Who cares. Its from jayz and beyonce. Thats right. Lets have it for lunch. Here it goes. Be ready. This is an explosion. Dont look at it. Whoa [ applause ] mama has some experience popping champagne bottles. I love that, dont look at it. That was a psa for good morning america. Dont shoot your eye out. That was reeses mom betty. The story here, when beyonce and jayz send champagne, you drink it. Doesnt matter what time it is, drink it. That is true. 11 30 is not too early. No, it wasnt. I was like, is that supposed to be early . Finally, one tiny dancer who basically has all of us on a friday. Take a look at this. Wow. Get that kid that is brody or as hes known on instagram, boss baby brody. He was practicing extra hard because he was debuting in the nut cracker this past christmas and that video went viral. Brody doesnt need a holiday to get down. He dances all year long.

Yes, mandatory. Make sure you tune in to watch us eat obviously. All right . Ill watch that. Thank you so much, sara. Were going to turn now to the gma cover story about brad pitt who is opening up about his sobriety during an award ceremony, thanking Bradley Cooper for helping him on his journey. Amy is back with more. Good morning, amy. Good morning, michael. Yeah, this isnt the first time that weve heard brad pitt opening up about his sobriety but we are now learning about how he used the power of connection and friendship to fight addiction. Reporter this morning, brad pitt on the awards trail for his performance in the film once upon a time in hollywood. Are you an actor . Im a stuntman. Reporter is now revealing that his friend Bradley Cooper who has been sober for over 15 years helped him get sober. At the National Board of review gala where pitt was honored wednesday he thanked cooper who presented the award. Thank you, bradley. Bradley just put his daughter to bed and rushed over here to do this. Hes a sweetheart. I got sober because of this guy, and every day has been happier ever since. Reporter pitt first opened up about getting sober and his past struggles with alcohol abuse in an interview with gq in 2017, a year after his split with Angelina Jolie with whom he shares six children. He told gq, i stopped everything except boozing when i started my family. I was boozing too much. Its just become a problem. Then in a New York Times interview last year, pitt opened up about spending a year and a half in alcoholics anonymous. It was the safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore, little judgment of yourself. Pitts revelation comes at a time when new Research Shows that alcoholrelated deaths are on the rise, more than doubling among those 16 and over since 1999. These alarming numbers released just as Many Americans are rethinking their relationship to alcohol, either trying sobriety challenges like dry january, a monthlong break from alcohol, or even becoming whats called sober curious. Author Ruby Warrington wrote a book titled sober curious, the experience leading her to sobering realities. I actually have deeper connections in my relationships now. My sleep is better, my gut has healed and now im saying all of this. Yeah, life is better without alcohol. And the Sober Curious Movement is growing with socalled sober bars or bars that dont serve alcohol popping up in cities all around the country. Michael . Thank you so much for that, amy. Were joined now by dr. Jen ashton. Doc, first question, how do you know if someone has a problem that requires total sobriety, and what kind of treatments are out there . You know, i think its really important when we talk about alcohol its not all shades of gray here. There is a significant and serious lifethreatening problem, alcohol use disorder, and there are criteria for that diagnosis. If you take a look at this list, and this is a partial list by the way. Two or more of these, drinking more than intended, youre unable to cut down or stop consuming alcohol. Its making you sick on a regular basis, youre becoming involved in dangerous situations, driving while intoxicated, or obviously if youre having memory blackouts. The list by the way, thats only part of it. If you meet criteria, that is a lifethreatening situation. You need to seek professional help. How can you support somebody if its someone in your family, one of your friends . How can you support them if they have a moderate problem, possibly abuse . I think the point the really inspiring thing with a story like this is that it increases awareness and it destigmatizes a problem that could potentially affect 5 of americans. An individual, whether its a friend, a partner, a spouse, relative, can be incredibly supportive and really inspiring in getting that person to seek professional help, but i want to be clear, its not that persons responsibility. Ultimately the decision to seek help rests with the individual. We saw the piece there talking about sober bars, people going sober curious. Yeah. Also, people take sober months. Exactly. Is this a real thing or a fad . It is popular but it is a real thing and theres data that supports the fact that even abstaining from alcohol short term and again, these are not people with serious alcohol use disorders that can have some impact. Data has shown that people tend to lose weight, sleep better, look better, Blood Pressure improves and guess what, they save money obviously. So theres reasons why this is becoming such a popular phenomenon. All right, doc, thank you for always answering the questions. You can get dr. Jens guide to dry january on our website. Cecilia . Michael, thank you so much. Weve got an important story to tell you about now. Its about how much money you make and the question that so many people are asking, should you keep your salary a secret. This is a story that was in the New York Times. It highlights this issue, especially for women, knowing how much your colleagues make, and could it help you boost your own pay . Rebecca jarvis is here. Weve talked about this ourselves. I was so interested in this story i blasted it to a bunch of girlfriends. I want to start by asking the audience a question, show of hands, guys, how many of you in here know how much your coworkers are making . Very, very few. How many of you would be willing to ask how much your coworkers are making . Would you be willing to have this conversation . No one. Interesting. Wow, okay. So lets break this down. What are the risks in asking how much your colleagues are making . So, as the daughter of a mother who pushed me to negotiate my salary from the very are first summer job i had, i love that women are having conversations about money. Thats such an important thing to understand money and to be thinking about it from an early stage, but its a delicate thing. As you saw from our audience, a lot of people, frankly no one here, is willing to ask their friends about how much money theyre making. The good news is there are a lot of places that you can actually go and find out about how much money people in your job are making. For example, linked in, pay scale, glass door and the career contessa, those are all websites where you can search by your experience level, the job, how much time you spent in that company, also how much what your location is and it will tell you what the average salary is. Thats very useful information when you go to negotiate. But i would say the most important time to negotiate is before you get your job. That is the time when you have the most clout and power to get the highest salary. Okay, so not before you get the job, you found out how much your colleague is making. This is the hardest part, especially for women, you got to negotiate and talk money and selfworth. Yes, which selfworth is such an important thing. You want to go into that conversation with some winds at your back. The best time to negotiate for a raise is after at least a year within a company when youre ex keyeding expectations, youve taken on responsibilities and youve had a couple of wins very recently. Thats a good time to go in and have this conversation. Make the conversation not about other people. Make it about you, the value that you bring to the company. Make it about the fact that you love your company, you love the person that you work for, that supervisor youre having a conversation with. You want to continue to add value to the company and you believe that you are worthy of that higher salary. Thats my big question though is do you go in and say so and so makes x, why am i not making this much . No, that is the absolute last thing you do because then its an adversarial conversation. You want this to be a conversation with the person sitting across the table from you knowing your value, appreciating you. You want them to feel like you appreciate them and its a Work Together to get to that number and i think its important that you put a number out on the table. Thats a good place to negotiate from. Think of something at least in the 10 higher from what youre making range generally speaking. Obviously its not one size fits all, but 10 higher, and go for the higher number. Say a higher number because that is the place from which you will negotiate and know in that conversation or any level of pushback, you should expect it, always news no as a jumping off point to continue the conversation. See why shes my life coach . Ginger, over to you. Im following. Okay, how about a gma moment from philadelphia, pennsylvania. Yall want to do some toddler math . What do you get when you have a 3yearold and two minutes unattended . All over your hands . So yeah, some marker on the hands. But watch. Oh that is marker all over imans legs. We love that. Thanks for sending it, theresa. [ cheers and applause ] simple ways to improve your life in the new year and today were going to take a look at apps that can help make our relationships better. Becky worley is in San Francisco with the details. Good morning, becky. Reporter good morning, george. We know people are meeting and dating through apps but now a new genre of phonebased tools that make your marriage, your partnership sweeter and more rewarding. Matt and charity are doing it all. She runs her own business. He has a bigtime office job and coaches football and, oh yeah, they have four kids. The craig clan is a three ring circus. Reporter we asked them to try out love nudge, a communication tool that determines how people feel loved. Is it through verbal appreciation, touch, little gifts . Once thats established the app nudges each partner to reach out in those specific ways. Hes going to, like, set it all up and answer the questions on his side and then were going to set goals to do Little Things for each other to fill our love tanks. So well see how it goes. Reporter matts not so sure. We text each other pretty much all day so i dont know if this is going to overcomplicate things because its going to add Something Else to the mix. Reporter love nudge is one of a growing body of apps that coach people through interpersonal dynamics and help couples feel truly connected. All relationships need work and they need tweaking on a daily basis. You have to be mindful about reaching out to each other physically, verbally, emotionally to keep those bonds strong. Reporter so an app could help. Besides love nudge, this one, between, is an intimate space for being silly, romantic and setting reminders of upcoming date nights. But do our busy working parents feel like the love nudge app actually brought them closer . I would just call it a great way of bringing us back together but there are certain things that she needs and certain things that she loves. This was a great way to remind me of that. It made me more aware and want to be intentional to make sure that, like, i was doing something thoughtful and intentional to make him feel like words of affirmation. Ive definitely received a lot more words of affirmation. My love tank is full. Oh, my love tank is full for these apps. Marriage counseling is one of the best things ive ever done. We want to give you another app to strengthen your relationship, called lasting, based on science from decades of research. Its like marriage counseling on your phone. Thats a good thing.

Because of that we want to welcome you with an inaugural visit to gma with a welcome basket. Everything you ever need to remember that you were here this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. What yall got for people who been here a lot . We got a few questions were going to ask you. You were talking about the fans. The fans love this franchise. Oh man, yeah. So much. [ applause ] and before we came out of break you were talking about all the travel youve been doing. You were in berlin paris, madrid. Youre going to miami where you shot a lot of the movie. Yeah, yeah. Whats it like for fans when they see you out there, the reaction when they see you guys together again . Its really fantastic. We were talking about that the other day, you know, because weve been overseas and it was you know, its a big deal when we show up overseas. Its great, but we landed in new york and it was the first time people were seeing us together as the bad boys in new york. Certain kind of bravado. Yeah, bad boys. Put your chest out. Do your lip like that, like yeah, yeah. And the head nod. Theres a real love for this franchise. We were talking about that. Its like on the street people walk up and of all the movies that ive made, theres nothing as much as bad boys when people say whens the next one, when are you going to do another one. Theres not a lot of, hey man, when are you going to make another pursuit of happiness . When are you doing part two . Everybody in my barber shop has been waiting for this movie. It looked like you had a lot of fun. You can see the love, the fun on set. Then there was a picture on social media that eddie murphy was there with you guys, wesley snipes. That was a big day. That was at tyler perrys studio. They were shooting eddie murphy and them were shooting coming to america and we were shooting bad boys. So we walked down to each others set and took a picture. That was a really big moment. Special moment. Yeah. We came out and wesley knocked on the door and it was like, ahh you know, it was just a beautiful thing also to be at tyler perrys studio, to have that moment, you know. Yeah. [ applause ] you guys know theres got to be a car chase. Yes. And there is a big car scene, car chase scene in this movie but im going to tell you guys its not your typical car chase. Toe yeoh yeah, its a specia you guys want to see a clip . What we got . Here we go. Im about to throw up. Oh, you better hell not. That is hand stitched loateathe. You better drink it. Mike, mike relax. Whoo. Make a hole, make a hole. Miami pd. Go, go daddy. Youre a poppop. [ applause ] thats one of many great chase scenes in that movie. You guys were in your 20s when you made the first movie. Now being a little older, what has changed . Im a lot heavier. I put on more pounds, but its for the role. It works for the role. I ate a lot of pudding. Yeah, yeah. Method acting, man. Method acting. I was like, martins really into this character. No, the big change for us was probably the amount of stunt work, right . You know when i started i was like, we doing all the stunts, we doing everything, every one of these, you know, bad boys 25 years later, all the stunts. Then like, you know, probably three days in i looked over to him, i was like, hey, what you thinking . He was like, we should probably let the stuntmen do that. We can feel it here with you guys. You guys really seem like youre good friends. Yeah. Your costar, van ness essa ens said the chemistry is unreal. Is it true that you were concerned about having two comedians . Yeah because we started up the fresh prince and martin were at their peak at that time so for us to come together and make a movie was a big thing. When we first got there michael bay was saying, okay, will, i want you to bring it down a little bit. I was like, bring it down . No, but martin is going to steal all the scenes. I was like, martin was just killing and michael bay kept telling me, no, no, thats not your character. I was like, but its my career. But we really found a great comedic energy and balance, and martin has the really unique comedic skill where he can be funny and you can laugh as loud and as hard as youll laugh but he doesnt break the reality of the scene. Its a very special, unique acting skill. I do that . Yeah. And i read where, martin, you said you were worried about it not being the same after all of these years. Well, i just was wondering if the chemistry was still there and we would pick up where we left off. Once we did the first scene, it was like a bike, riding a bike all over again. Tell you what, watching it, its like riding a bike for the viewer. The chemistry is there, the love is there, the humor is there. Its all there, man. [ applause ] everybody, do yourself a favor, go out and see bad boys for life.

He just kind of waddled. How did you get started . I got him from pitiful pups and i started feeding him less and replacing extra food with green beans. I got his blood work done and found out he needed to be on medication twice a day. Then when he lost a few pounds we just started taking him to the dog park and he can run around and play, so that helped. Aw. [ applause ] now, what drew you to shortiy story .

Mplete let obamacare implode. Nurse these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. Ive been a nurse in new york for thirty years. I know the difference leadership can make because i saw what Mike Bloomberg did as mayor.

He helped expand Health Coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. And as mayor, Mike Bloomberg always championed Reproductive Health for women. So when you hear Mike Bloomberg on health care. Mrb this is america. We can certainly afford to make sure that everybody that needs to see a doctor can see a doctor, everybody that needs medicines to stay healthy can get those medicines. Nurse you should know, he did it as mayor, hell get it done as president. Mrb im Mike Bloomberg and i approve this message. Announcer good morning bay area. This is abc 7 mornings.
