It was absolutely beautiful, and well have much more on that ahead. But first, we want to begin with that breaking news. Harvey weinstein waking up in a hospital this morning instead of behind bars after that watershed verdict convicted on two counts of sexual misconduct. He was supposed to be jailed on Rikers Island but was rushed to a hospital here in manhattan instead. Thats a live shot of the hospital right now and amy robach there with the latest. Good morning, amy. Reporter thats right, good morning, george. Harvey weinstein is being treated at Bellevue Hospital after his lawyers say he was experiencing heart palpitations and chest pains and high Blood Pressure as well. This all comes after a jury acquitted him of the two most serious charges and while he may have avoided a life sentence, those two guilty verdicts may send the 67yearold from this manhattan hospital straight to prison for a very long time. Harvey weinstein guilty of two of the five counts against him ordered to report to the notorious Rikers Island prison. But on the way, a detour to Bellevue Hospital where weinsteins Attorney Says the former film mogul went for evaluation after experiencing heart palpitations. We just heard before coming on that he was experiencing some high Blood Pressure and some heart palpitations. Reporter on monday, the jury of five men and seven women finding the 67yearold guilty of criminal Sexual Assault against Miriam Haleyi and rape in the third degree of jessica mann, a former aspiring actress. To the survivors of Harvey Weinstein, i owe and we all owe an immense debt to you who had the courage beyond measure to speak your story to the world. Reporter now facing up to a possible 29 years in prison, his lawyers asking he be sent to Rikers Islands north infirmary unit complex where there are more than 250 beds in specialized units for inmates who require protective custody due to their notoriety. When the verdict came in, all he kept saying over and over again was, im innocent. Im innocent. How could this happen in america . Reporter on monday, the jury also acquitting him on the two most serious criminal charges, two counts of predatory Sexual Assault and one count of first degree rape. By no means am i disappointed with the jurys unanimous statement that Harvey Weinstein is guilty of Sexual Assault and rape. Reporter dozens of women accused weinstein of Sexual Assault, harassment and abuse lasting over a period of at least 30 years. Their stories first came to light in the new yorker and the New York Times. Actress rose mcgowan who said her career was ruined by allegations of rape against weinstein said her healing can begin. Hailing the verdict as a huge step forward in our collective healing. Actress annabella sciorra, testified that weinstein raped her, but the jury acquitted him of the charges stemming from her allegations saying in a statement, my testimony was painful but necessary. I spoke for myself and with the strength of 80 plus victims of Harvey Weinstein in my heart. Now, weinstein has denied all allegations of nonconsensual sex. His attorneys say they will appeal those convictions and they are vowing to fight for him to be released on bail until his sentencing. That sentencing date is set for march 11th where Harvey Weinstein could face up to 29 years behind bars, guys. Well see. All right. Thank you, amy. Joining us now, ronan farrow, author of catch and kill and host of the catch and kill podcast. You helped break this story in 2017. So what was your reaction to the verdict and what do you think it means . The story of Harvey Weinstein is in so many respects the story of a long and unsuccessful fight for any kind of accountability for someone so powerful. A lot of the stories have been not just about the allegations but about the tactics used to dodge accountability. Including in the criminal justice system, you know, we broke the story of how in 2015 this very d. A. Cyrus vance dropped an effort to charge weinstein where they had tape of him admitting to an assault. He called this a new day yesterday after the conviction. He did. And you look at the circumstances here. This is the kind of case that in the past might not have even been brought. There was consensual sex after the allegations, after the Sexual Assault they maintained contact, the accusers did, yet hes still convicted. Its a watershed moment in terms of how these cases are tried. You know, you have the history of the cosby case which initially was a hung jury, and then they did a retrial, and they got a conviction, and this case, you have witnesses openly saying there was an ongoing relationship. I remember when you joined us in january and you said the predatory charges were not a slamdunk. They were a big risk so you were not surprised that those verdicts came back not guilty . I was not. Its important to note the jury was not asked to consider whether they should convict on the rape of annabella sciorra. They were asked whether to convict on this extra predatory Sexual Assault charge, the idea that her own incident was outside the statute of limitations, but it could show a pattern, that it could be an enhancing charge, and, you know, im not surprised that that was a complicated portion of it. The jury actually asked to be reread instructions and ask asked again if they could convict on her charge and were not inside that room. For all we know they may have wanted to go to the 50 mark in terms of sentencing opposites. You know annabella well. What do you think this means to her . There is no doubt in my mind that annabella sciorra, like so many women who spoke first to journalists and then to prosecutors, played an integral part in making this outcome happen and in getting weinstein behind bars. Obviously with the mixed verdict theres also a bittersweet component to this, but i think she can say her testimony was necessary. Weinstein is still facing charges in l. A. Two accusers there as well. How strong is that case . It is potentially a more expansive case because theres a general bar admitting to prior bad acts. We dont like to in the court system correctly for due process reasons have a bunch of witnesses get up and say in addition to the things youre being asked to convict on, theres all this other bad stuff. That said, there were limited ways to bring in extra cases, and in l. A. They actually have lifted a lot of those restraints altogether in Sexual Violence cases so i talked to the assistant District Attorney in los angeles yesterday and he said we are absolutely proceeding and they are hoping to widen the scope and number of people they can bring in. Not over yet. Ronan, thanks very much. In our next half hour, mimi haleyi is going to join us live. All right, were going to go now to the latest on the coronavirus emergency. Lots of major developments overnight. The Trump Administration is asking congress for 2. 5 billion to help fight the outbreak. This comes as the cdc issues its highest travel warning to south korea and the number of cases are growing there and in italy and iran. And now concerns growing at a hotel in spain where a case was just confirmed. There are now more than 80,000 cases worldwide and the outbreak is also sparking fears on wall street. The dow plunging more than a thousand points on monday. Were going to have more on that in a moment but first James Longman joins us from milan. Good morning, james. Reporter yeah, good morning, robin. Milan is much quieter than usual. Were seeing the dangerous potential for the spread. Infection breaking out from here to both spain and croatia. This morning, the urgent race to stop the global spread of coronavirus. The potential for contamination now clear. A tourist has now tested positive in a Spanish Hotel forcing more than a thousand guests to get tested there. All guests are told to stay in their room until results. In italy the number of reported cases at over 200, an increase that world Health Officials called deeply concerning. A number of countries now restricting travel to or from the italian red zone, and kuwait, the first to stop flights to the country. 50,000 residents across 12 towns are under lockdown as the death toll rises to at least seven. The normally bustling streets of milan, much quieter than usual. Dana rogers from wisconsin runs a business here. My family is worried because you watch the news and you see the supermarkets and you hear about cities being quarantined. My mom yesterday was, like, im really worried. I think you should come home. Reporter the number of cases also at worrying levels in south korea. Overnight, authorities raiding the headquarters of this church where the first covid19 case was reported. Health officials trying to test its more than 200,000 members. As the World Health Organization struggles to figure out how its transmitted, Health Officials say it could turn into a Global Pandemic. The cdc issuing its highest travel warning telling americans to avoid all nonessential travel. Its time to do everything you would do in preparing for a pandemic. Reporter in the u. S. , the number of confirmed cases at 53. The effects of the virus felt far and wide, from wall street to hollywood, where Paramount Pictures announced monday it was stopping production of tom cruises top gun out of an abundance of caution for the safe and wellbeing of our cast and crew. When announcing officials earlier the Deputy Health minister from iran suffering from the coronavirus. Thank you, james. Now joined by dr. Jennifer ashton and, doc, we see these cases popping up in many other countries now so what does that say or tell us about the coronavirus . I think the first thing is that we dont know if all of these other cases is the coronavirus or covid19 behaving differently, being more easily transmitted from person to person, or whether their reporting capacity is different and better than we saw in the past, you know, month and a half to almost two months. When you talk about the numbers, i want to emphasize this, its not the case number and the death number that really is important here. We have to look at how many are exposed, how many are infected, how many of those infected actually develop symptoms, how many of those people are then tested and test positive . Then we can calculate a severity rate and a fatality rate, and right now, michael, all of those numbers have been elusive. Were starting to hear the word pandemic. How likely is that to happen . Is the world prepared for a virus to spread like that . Well, the second part is the key question. In terms of the word choice and the language, its more important to focus on the response, both here and in other parts of the world, but very interesting, michael. In october, Johns Hopkins university did a Global Pandemic preparedness drill, and they found that no country is fully prepared to deal with an epidemic or pandemic. Only 19 of the countries they evaluated got top marks for detection and look at that number, michael, 77 of countries couldnt even collect or report data in realtime. Thats the problem here. So what happens in other parts of the world affects us. Thank you, doc, for giving it to us straight. Appreciate it. Robin. You bet. Another effect we saw the massive stock market plunge. This outbreak is beginning to have a real impact on the economy here and around the world. Our chief Business Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is at the New York Stock Exchange with more. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter good morning, robin. Yeah, and its that coronavirus uncertainty which sent the dow plunging more than a thousand points yesterday. Its worst day in more than two years and heres the issue. Many u. S. Companies do significant amounts of business in china. Its a manufacturing hub for Companies Like apple, like nike, but also a number of Small Businesses who manufacture their products there and then sell them here. Things like iphones which apple has already said were facing temporary shortages of because the factories there have been shut indefinitely. Plus, there are things like the ingredients that go into u. S. Health care products, u. S. Antibiotics. The fda now looking at drug shortages because of ingredients coming from there, and the concern now Going Forward is this is now spreading to more than 32 countries and that has Major Economic consequences, michael. Lot of concern, rebecca. Thank you so much. Now were going to turn to the winter blast. Two storms colliding and bringing the heaviest snow of the season to the midwest expected to hit detroit hard. Ginger is here with the latest. Good morning, ginger. Good morning, michael. Blinding snow in frisco, colorado. Gives us a glimpse into what could be happening as it moves east.

Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Back now with more on Harvey Weinstein convicted on two counts of Sexual Assault now facing up to 29 years in prison. The verdict a victory for the me too movement and his accusers, were going to speak to one in a moment. But first, lets go back to amy at Bellevue Hospital where weinstein was taken overnight. Good morning, amy. Reporter thats right, good morning, george. Six accusers took the stand against Harvey Weinstein at his trial and some 80 other women have made allegations of misconduct against him. Yesterdays verdict was certainly a watershed moment for those involved in the me too movement and many say this is just the beginning. I just want to thank my agent, kevin and god, Harvey Weinstein. Harvey weinstein who believed in us and made this movie. Reporter he was one of the most powerful men in the Film Industry thanked by some of the biggest alisters in hollywood. Thank you so much to the academy and Harvey Weinstein. Harvey, thank you for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today. Reporter but in 2017, his world came crashing down after bombshell reports in the New York Times and the new yorker claimed he had a history of preying on women. In the months that followed a list of stars would speak out with their own stories including angelina jolie, mira sorvino and salma hayek, some accusing him of sexual harassment, others like rose mcgowan claimed he raped her. What does justice look like to you . Bars. This man should be behind bars for the rest of his life. Reporter ashley judd, one of the first to come forward, describing an encounter with the producer in his hotel room to diane sawyer. I thought that with this volley of nos he ignored. Reporter the accusations against weinstein propelling the me too movement. Women in hollywood banding together to stand up to sexual misconduct. Weinstein who had once been one of hollywoods most important producers losing his place at the helm of miramax, the company declaring bankruptcy and this morning, the twotime oscar winner is in custody after being found guilty of crimes against jessica mann and Miriam Haleyi. This is the new landscape for survivors of Sexual Assault in america, i believe, and this is a new day. Reporter weinsteins attorneys are vowing to appeal those convictions in new york, but he is also facing charges in los angeles stemming from two separate alleged assaults in 2013. Harvey weinstein has repeatedly denied any accusations of nonconsensual sex. Guys. It is not over yet. Okay, amy, thanks. Joining us now is mimi haleyi, weinstein was convicted of assaulting her in his manhattan apartment in 2006. Shes joined by her attorney, gloria allred. Welcome back. Take us to that moment when you heard the verdict. I was actually in a coffee shop and when it kind of popped up on my screen from a friend and i i just sat down and i started crying and then i had to go out into the street because i dont want to be crying in a coffee shop but it was just a huge sense of relief, just a relief that the jury got it, that they believed me and that i was heard and, yeah, i was just grateful that they got it. It came after you had to make a very tough decision to take that stand. Must have been difficult. Well, yes, i mean, it was it was terrifying, you know, terrifying. But after a lot of thought i just felt that it was the right thing to do and something that i wanted to follow through with, so thats why i did it. In some ways you stand for so many of the accusers, so many of the women who have been victims, part of the me too movement right now. What do you think it means for the accusers and the movement . Well, i just think that it gives me hope that were making progress, that this verdict, and i just feel like were being educated about the reality of Sexual Assaults and Sexual Assault victims and what that many times involves and that a lot of Sexual Assault victims do know their attacker and they have some sort of relationship to that person and that brings with it a whole other layer of emotional confusion that you need to process through and i think thats what we need to realize that its not you know, i think we are getting rid of a lot of outdated ideas about these kind of assaults. And, gloria, we talked to ronan farrow about this in the last half hour. It does seem cy vance was right when he called it a new day for how these are handled and adjudicated. It is, and also i want to say how brave, how very, very courageous she was because mimi had to face very intense crossexamination on the stand and she had to take the oath and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god, and then hours and hours of crossexamination, so i want to say how proud i am of her and of my client Lauren Marie Young who was one of the molineaux witnesses prior who also testified in this case. Shes one of the two victims in the los angeles case that well follow. Shes coming, yeah. And annabella sciorra, my client who is really a role model of courage and very inspiring and she did what she did, she testified. She made many sacrifices because it was in the interest of justice to do so. And how do you gauge the not guilty verdict on those charges . You know, its a very high burden of proof, guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and, you know, she told her truth. She stood in her truth. She refused to be intimidated and she was very authentic and many people said she was an exceptional witness in this courtroom so, you know, she did what she had to do and thats whats important. This is about the empowerment of women, about women refusing to stand silent when they have been the victims of gender violence and he could face the sentence because of mimis courage of 10 years to 25 years in prison and then he has to face also the l. A. Charges, so he may never come out of prison. And youre going to have the chance to speak if you choose at the sentencing of Harvey Weinstein, give a victim impact statement.

Adam richman and jessica tom and they are here to whip up two crazy pancake creations in their pajamas, by the way, and the best part is, you guys can make these at home. So here we go. You didnt see her extension there. She really and she kicks and kicks. Our chefs competing to see which dish our experts, kid judges over there, yes, theyre the expert. Going at it. [ applause ] and this is what you all are vying for, this lovely golden beautiful golden statue. So tell us lets start with what are you going to be making. Cinnamon apple pie pancakes. Ooh. Here we have our roasted apples. Wait. Let adam tell what hes making. What are we making . Were making smores pancakes. Oh. All right. You know what, adam, were up first. You got tips though because you want to say this, it all starts with the flour. Absolutely. The thing you want to combine dry ingredients with dry, wet with wet and the easiest way to do it we have our milk, our egg, we have our vanilla and put it in a jar and shake it to combine nice and easy. Can i do that . That will be easy. By all means. [ applause ] perfect. Once that is combined well add in flour and then we have salt, we have sugar, now, the other thing is you can combine right here in the measuring cup and your baking soda and your salt and your sugar all together combine it and then you can just add it right in then give it another shake. Right . A little neater than that. Okay. If you feel it, only if you feel it. This is the secret to getting the batter just right. Exactly right. [ laughter ] well, lets see what our judges think over there. Kids, what do you think about the smores pancakes . I love smores. I love the smores. I think it tastes really good and its very sweet. Sweet is good and the apples. Its good. It has a really good taste. The apps make it. The guys table. I really, really like the smores, but the cinnamon on the other side also has a nice crunchy taste to it. [ applause ] i tell you what, we got good critics. I love the marshmallow topping. Make one simple batter and we whip Graham Cracker krupps right into here, cocoa and chocolate chips into here and basically take a little bit here and i also have to say since we have amazing kid judges theres a kid near and dear to my heart celebrating her 4th birthday. Happy birth day to my cousin clair. Happy birthday. Jessica, how do you keep yours fluffy. The key to a fluffy pancake you want to use your batter as soon as you mix it so you have all of your dry ingredients. I dont have a jar, i just use a bowl. It works fine for me, i got to tell you. A little shade. Dry and wet ingredients. Batter use right away to get the fluffiest pancakes. Make sure the air doesnt deflate. I have my roasted apples with cinnamon, sugar, butter, really concentrates that apple flavor, infuses those spices in there. And then were just going to build this beautiful stack here so we have our pancakes, we have our apples. Yeah. And then i love to sprinkle it with a little bit of coarse sugar or use your favorite nut for texture and pop it under the broiler for three to five minutes and get the nice crackly crust. What do the judges say over there . Lara, michael. Thumbs up. [ applause ] no adult judges, Everybody Loves them, guy. Who is the winner, though . We have to give someone gets to wing the golden flapjack award. Smores. Smores. Oh you were robbed. There you go, sir. [ applause ] exme. Im trying them. Awesome as well. Get these recipes on our website, make sure you check it out and make yourself a nice breakfast. It is final for pancakes at all times. Coming up, the shark tank sharks are here live. Can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first. From smarter atms, to after hours video tellers comcast business is connecting thousands of banks to technology that turns everyday transactions into extraordinary experiences. Hi there. How are you . Do you have any lollipops in there . laughing no, sorry. Were helping all kinds of businesses go beyond customer expectations. How can we help you . Were back with the new book about how successful people see the world. Called clearer, closer, better and Rebecca Jarvis sat down with the author. She is back to tell us all about it. Reporter good morning. Yeah, its really interesting when you think about this because you can get inside the mind of the most successful people. Thats exactly what this is. Successful people literally see the world differently and this is a look at all the tools that theyre using to achieve and find happiness and how you can use them and apply them to your own life. When it comes to success author emily says perception is paramount. What we see has a direct relationship to our psychological experience. Reporter right here in times square a simple visual test reveals just how differently people can perceive the same thing. Im going to show you this picture for a second. Tell me the first thing you see. I see a horse. I see a cat. Definitely a kangaroo. I see a seal. I see a horse. And a rabbit, a horse rabbit. I think this visual illusion exemplifies the fact that we can see one thing in two ways. These shifts in perception are the key to finding success in all areas of life. Something she writes about in her new book clearer, closer, better chichi outlines four ways you can alter your perception for more successful outcomes. You might think of this like a toolbox for our own life. Four different strategy, four different tools that we might find useful at different stages of goal pursuit. Reporter first up framing. Being aware of what were looking at, what we put on the table, what we put on our desk, all of that has a much bigger impact on what we do and what we think than maybe we realize. Reporter second, narrowing the focus of attention. Realizing there are some moments when we might be better served by keeping the distractions at bay. So the third is the wide bracket. Taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture. That can be effective for helping us to find patterns in our own choices and behaviors, in fact, when my students practiced this thinking about the six things they needed to do this week and on monday planning for the next seven days and slotting them in they were able to find 2 1 2 more hours in the week to work on their projects than when they took it day by day. Reporter finally, materialize. Write down the steps that are going to be required to complete in order to hit that goal. Thats the power of the visualization. One other really interesting part of emilys research is on failure. She says that in order to be successful, we need to incorporate failure into our thinking but she says that whole word failure is part of the problem. Instead she says we should think of those stumbles as an opportunity to reformulate and choose a new direction. This is all about our orientation, perception of things. If you think of failure as an opportunity instead of the end, you can keep moving. A love it. Great advice. Thanks, rebecca. Clearer, closer better out today. Get emilys tips on our website. Now to ginger. I have dana and dan from the internet and instagram sensation, dancakes. I feel bad for my stepfather because he prides himself on the awesome like g for ginger pancake. You are really showing him up. Can i show you the beautiful tornado pancake they all created. Love that one. Thank you for creating that. Can you flip it over . Apparent think theres a surprise coming. Three, two, one. [ applause ] thats my face. Im telling you. Those are next level. I am not going to show this segment to my hey, look who im hanging out, sara and keke. Wedding week.

Yes and this friday were having a wedding right here in studio so come on, guys. We got a lot of work to do. We do. Well, we will see you guys at lunchtime. Ill let you two do the dress shopping. Coming up next on gma, oh, we cannot wait for this. The sharks are here live from shark tank. We choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. President kennedy knew settling for halfmeasures wasnt good enough. So when candidates say we cant guarantee health care for all, make College Affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when its hard. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Back now with the shark tank sharks, the hit show is back in a new time slot on friday on abc so please welcome, mark cuban, barbara corcoran, lori greiner, kevin oleary and robert herjavec.

Thats exactly what shark tank is. Thats exactly what it is. And it always will be. Thats why people came to america in the first place and thats why theyll keep coming, shark tank.

Everybody thinks they have one good idea. Everybody. Dreams can come true. Yeah, they do. [ applause ] also, can i just say, the chemistry with you all, like you can tell. Is this how it is outside of the tank too . We hate each other. Were like one big dysfunctional family. We know each other well. One minute were joking, laughing and the neck killing each other and walk off set and go have a drink so its we do really get along. I think because we have a very special bond. We are in a special show thats been on for 11 years, we spend a lot of time together. Its changing the way that people think. Hold on, lori. The romance, the romance is over. Its so over. Totally over. I knew it was coming. Too bad. Is there a pitch youre looking back that still haunts you . There are a dozen of pitches but the one that bugs me the most is the stupid smiley sponge, whatever the hell the name is. When lori took that deal and i thought who the hell who the heck would want that . That sponge in their kitchen . Guess what, 200 million later a lot of people until i bought the Company Selling for 39. Everyone wants one and we had 250 million in sales. Whoa. [ applause ] you can launch anything on shark tank.
