The rare, upclose view coming face to face with these n gma is live from Prince Edward island. And good morning, america. Boy, what t. J. Is going to show us truly is extraordinary. Youre right about that. That is coming up. We want to get to the breaking news overnight on the coronavirus emergency. As you said moments ago, george, cases in the u. S. Crossing 1,000 overnight with at least 30 deaths. More than 1,000 schools shutting their doors affecting 775,000 students all across the country. 18 states have declared a state of emergency including massachusetts where the number of coronavirus cases doubled in just the past day, and now the irs is even considering moving the tax deadline past april 15th. We begin with that Community Just outside of new york city under a containment order this morning where a cluster of cases has broken out. The National Guard will be on duty there in new rochelle to enforce the onemile radius under the order. Whit johnson is there with the latest. Good morning, whit. Reporter michael, good morning. Officials tell us about 100 to 200 members of the National Guard will arrive here in new rochelle tomorrow to help clean and sanitize schools, public areas and even deliver food if needed. Governor cuomo calling this deployment a dramatic effort to attack this outbreak at the source. This morning, new york ordering the nations first containment zone as the number of those infected continues to climb. The governor deploying the National Guard to new rochelle, a suburban coronavirus hot spot in northern manhattan. This is a dramatic action. This is literally a matter of life and death. Reporter that zone consisting of a onemile radius around the Young Israel Synagogue where dozens of people were exposed by that attorney. Schools will shut down for two weeks. Most businesses and Grocery Stores will remain open, and people will be able to enter and leave the area. Youre not containing people. Its facilities. Reporter according to some residents, many are staying home. Its empty. I was there, and im there usually every weekend running errands. Stores were empty, and theres no one around.

You have to start taking seriously what you can do now that if and when the infections. Reporter concerns of the spreading virus prompting a wave of cancellations, including the new york city Half Marathon and the Ivy League Basketball tournaments. Popular Music Festival coachella postponed until october to avoid crowd contamination. Major Companies Like apple and google encouraging their employees to work from home, and universities like ucla, duke and Ohio State University are canceling inperson classes.

Robin . All right, whit. Thank you. As we know, the world is fighting to contain the outbreak. Well take a live look at the cases around the globe. This according to the Johns Hopkins tracker. Almost 10,000, 20,000 worldwide. One of the areas hit the hardest is italy with the most cases outside of china now topping 10,000 with 631 deaths. James longman has more on the conditions under lockdown in italy after returning from there himself. Good morning, james. Reporter hi, robin. Yeah, good morning. Im going to selfisolate now for awhile. Its the most sensible thing to do after having returned from italy which is facing as you say, the biggest crisis anywhere in the world outside of china. More than 10,000 cases now in that country. More than 600 people have died. The hospitals are just overwhelmed with seeing images of tents being built outside them in order to treat the ill. Icus are overflowing. This is an assault on the Elderly Population of italy. They are the overwhelming victims here. And so this lockdown that were seeing in that country is really unprecedented. The police are enforcing it. Schools are shut. 60 Million People, more than 60 Million People live in italy. Think about that. Landmarks across the country, and this is a huge tourist destination, and they are all deserted here today. Here in the uk, were seeing a fallout continue with a Health Minister now testing positive for the virus and its actually emerging that she actually met with the Prime Minister the day before she was tested. Theres a lot to worry about here in europe. Michael . Thank you so much, james. Now to the big question over testing for the virus in the u. S. President trump said anyone who wants to get tested can, but an abc News Analysis shows just over 6,800 tests have been administered in the u. S. As opposed to 200,000 in much smaller south korea. Steve osunsami is outside the cdc headquarters in atlanta on more with where the tests are. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, michael. Here at the cdc, they tell us that the first tests that were first available went to the states of washington and california where they were needed the most. Since then, these tests cant be made fast enough. As fear and panic over the coronavirus sweep the country, the president is reassuring americans that there are enough coronavirus tests to go around. When people need a test, they can get a test. When the professionals need a test when they need tests for people, they can get the test. Reporter Vice President pence is saying the same saying that millions are being shipped. We want people to get tested. Over 1 million tests are out thanks to the diligent work from cdc and hhs. They will go out this week. Reporter some doctors are saying that despite government assurances, they cant get the tests they need. When you know theres community transmission, that means theres a lot more undiagnosed cases than diagnosed cases. So we really have to up our level of testing. Reporter the test is a simple nose swab thats processed in a lab like this one in new york state, but which patients actually get one of these tests is more complicated. The decision is usually made by state governments using cdc recommendations that the only people who should get a coronavirus test are people who have symptoms, have come into close contact with someone who has the virus or have travelled to an affected area like china, italy or south korea. So far, nearly 7,000 people have been tested here in america. In contrast, south korea has already tested more than 200,000 people. As tests become more available, some states Like Washington and colorado are setting up drivethrough testing locations hoping that a test in a drivethrough will limit the risk of contamination and prevent the spread of germs in a hospital. Two of the most famous residents in Washington State are trying to help. Bill and Melinda Gates are working on a coronavirus test that can be used at home. George . Thank you, steve. Were joined now by the secretary of health and Human Services, alex azar. Secretary, thank you for joining us this morning. As you heard, there are so many issues around testing here in the United States. Were still hearing from doctors. They cant get the tests they need. Lay out the bottom line right now. How Many Americans have been tested . How many will be tested and what is that likely to mean for the number of cases here in the United States . So george, the key thing your viewers need to know is we have and always have had the capacity to test anybody who is suspected of novel coronavirus. Right now we have millions of tests available. Anyone who is a person under investigation, suspected by medical professionals or by Public Health officials is going to get tested. Well get that data if they are positive. Lets talk about the contamination zones. New rochelle being contained. Washington state really a ban on any kind of large gatherings. Dr. Fauci was very sobering this afternoon. How much more of this are we going to need, more of these containment measures will we need to prevent a big spike in cases . Yeah, george. Were going to see very aggressive efforts to mitigate and contain the situation. We commend new york and washington. Were working with them closely, and, in fact, today well release the cdcs recommendations to jurisdictions that have had clusters, and well lean in as the Vice President said. Were going to be always recommending aggressive measures because if we can slow the spread, if we can contain these clusters in certain communities, bring that speed down, the hope of course, is that like most respiratory diseases, as we get to warmer weather, as people disperse and just naturally distance themselves without directives, this can actually help slow things down so were working always to buy time so that we mitigate impact here in the United States. Does that mean events like the ncaa tournament here are going to have to be rescheduled . I think any type of large gatherings have to be assessed by the organizers, but it has to be considered in community context. Each of us as individuals, we need to assess whether it makes sense for us to go to large gatherings. We have made it clear if you are elderly or medically fragile, if youre medically fragile generally of any age, you really should aye voice large gatherings or long travel. Certainly avoid getting on a cruise ship. So always think about your own situation, the circumstances of your community and the nature of what you are planning to do. You mention the time line. This all began in china of course. Theyre slowly turning things around there. Although there has been some back and forth there. Can you give people a sense of where we are here in the United States with that time line . Is this the beginning, the middle the beginning of the end . So, you know, chinas gotten this very much very aggressive action. I think they had only 46 new cases the other day, but were seeing a real explosion of cases in europe. Were seeing increasing cases here in the United States whice. Were still i would say in the beginnings of spread of this disease in the United States, but thats why were taking such aggressive containment measures at the border as well as mitigation steps in local communities. As i said, to try to slow the spread, we need to be really clear. We have been clear from the start. Were going to see more cases. This is a virus. This will spread. We need to take steps to slow that, buy ourselves time. Every day we buy is a valuable day in terms of spreading and thats why aggressive efforts are needed and public cooperation is important. Secretary, thank you for your time this morning. Thank you, george. That was a sobering headline there. Just the beginnings of the spread here in the United States. We heard that loud and clear. Thank you. The outbreak also impacting the race for the white house. Joe biden and Bernie Sanders canceling events in cleveland, but it was another big tuesday for the former Vice President. Winning four of six contests including the key state of michigan, and putting biden in command of the democratic president ial nomination. Mary bruce is tracking the latest from washington. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. This was a massive night for joe biden. Bernie sanders had high hopes, to blunt bidens rise, but instead the former Vice President dominated the night and this morning hes now closing in on the nomination. Taking the biggest prize of the night, joe biden this morning says hes unstoppable. Tonight, we are a step closer to restoring decency, dignity and honor to the white house. Thats our ultimate goal. [ applause ] reporter the former Vice President celebrating his decisive victory in the key state of michigan. Also winning mississippi, missouri and idaho. Bernie sanders picking up just one state, north dakota. This morning washington is still close to call. The night a major blow to sanders. At home in vermont, he skipped making a public address. With bidens delegate lead now virtually insurmountable, his supporters like jim clyburn says its game over. I think it is time for us to shut this primary down. Its time for us to cancel the rest of these debates. Reporter biden and sanders first oneonone debate matchup is still on for this sunday in arizona, but it wont just be fewer people on the stage, the dnc is canceling the live audience. Coronavirus this morning is forcing major changes to the campaign trail. Both candidates have already scrapped rallies and say theyre now evaluating their plans for future events. Joe biden is now actively trying to reach out and court Bernie Sanders supporters. Today the silence from the sanders team is very telling. He has no Campaign Events scheduled, but hes looking forward to that debate on sunday. At this point more than anything, it may be an opportunity to simply try to influence policy decisions going forward. George, sanders supporters admit this was a very tough night. Mary, thanks. Lets get more from jon karl, jon, you look at the delegate map right now, all those states that joe biden has won, the lead he has is delegates, its just about impossible for Bernie Sanders to get those delegates going into the convention. So the big question for him now is how long can he stay in . Well, george, he can stay in for a while, but sanders window of opportunity is slamming shut. He essentially needs to see the near total collapse of the Biden Campaign to win. Instead, biden is winning everywhere, winning in every region of the country, building up that formidable delegate lead, and hes crushing sanders in the popular vote. So george, next week, you see four big states vote. These are all states including florida and ohio where sanders lost four years ago. He really needs to, you know needs to win in places where he has not won before. There will be pressure on him to drop out. But remember Bernie Sanders sees this as a movement. I suspect hell be in for at least awhile long. Meanwhile, this is not the outcome that President Trump wanted. How does this scramble his general Election Strategy . Reporter well, george, from the very beginning, joe biden was the candidate that the trump team feared the most, and last night you saw why. He won in all of these places, in michigan where he would need to beat donald trump in a general election, and look at the overall turnout. Michigan had a record turnout for democrats in a democratic primary last night. That is a very troubling sign for the trump team. You saw that in a lot of states last week as well. Jon karl, thanks very much. We are following a lot of other stories this morning including the st. Louis father under fire for taking his daughter to a school event despite a possible coronavirus case in their family. Now the question is could he face legal trouble . We go to rob.

The former hollywood producer could face up to 29 years in prison. Hes also facing separate charges in los angeles. And were going to continue now, george, with outrage over a missouri man accused of defying a quarantine to attend a father daughter dance and possibly exposing people to the virus. Well, this morning, the attorney for that family firing back. Paula faris joins us now with more. Good morning, paula. Reporter good morning, robin. The daughter who contracted coronavirus never had a fever. The family is defending itself and how they handled this even though the st. Louis Health Department is calling them out, and now a community is torn. This morning, chaos and confusion in st. Louis over a family whose daughter has a confirmed case of coronavirus and whether or not they defied Health Officials instructions to selfquarantine. The family is now facing intense scrutiny after the patients father and younger sister attended a School Dance Saturday night at the ritzcarlton while Officials Say they were supposed to be under quarantine. It was at the event they found out the older daughter had tested positive and immediately left. The family has told us that since they learned of the diagnosis on saturday night, they have selfquarantined. Reporter last monday, the 20yearold patient flew to chicago after studying abroad in milan, stayed with a friend and then took an amtrak train home to st. Louis on wednesday. It was on thursday she started showing symptoms and contacted the st. Louis Health Department. The county Health Department instructed the patient and her family to selfquarantine at their home. Reporter but the family says when the daughter initially reported her symptoms on thursday, they were never told to selfquarantine. Theres no record to show that they were ever given any instruction regarding what to do or how to do it. Reporter the incident has sparked outrage in the community. Beau keefers 17yearold daughter was also at that school dance. Its frustrating and im just so confused about the whole situation. Now the younger daughters school, the ritz and amtrak are taking extra precautions because of exposure, but the familys Attorney Says this family is being disparaged. Yes, quarantine orders are serious. Its also important, you guys, not to vilify members of our community, and also keep in mind our children are watching how we respond to all of this. Thank you, paula. Were going to bring in chief medical correspondent jen ashton along with chief legal analyst dan abrams. Thank you both. Oh, boy, have you gotten any rest . My goodness. We saw in paulas piece. Can you legally enforce a quarantine . You can absolutely legally enforce a quarantine. No one is alleging in this particular case there was a legally enforceable quarantine. The question here is did Health Officials say to the family, you should selfquarantine, and did they then ignore that . That could open them up to potential civil liability. When it comes to criminal, theres another step to take. The first step is notice. You have to tell the people, you must do this. We think you are at risk. Then if they refuse or they seem unwilling to do it, then you can actually go and it depends state by state, municipality by municipality how that would occur, but theres another phase. Youre saying you dont want to do this . Well make you do this, and it is legally enforceable. Doc, lay out the reasons for medical quarantine. When do you quarantine versus isolate . Whats important for people to understand is when you take the step of quarantine whether its mandatory or voluntary, it is based on the assumption that you have been exposed and therefore that you may be positive for an infectious disease. So its not a home vacation. Its not a staycation. Its hard to do, and you dont do it a little bit. Its not its like being you cant be a little pregnant. You home quarantine. You dont leave your house. You reduce your exposure to others. Different than isolation. Isolation is for people that are ill. Quarantine is for exposure, but its important to remember when you take that step, its based on the assumption has to be based on the assumption that youre a positive. If i get sick and i break quarantine, you can sue me . Absolutely. Its the same standard we use in any other case. Negligence or recklessness. If you know that you have a contagious disease and you then go to a place where you can very easily give it to someone else, someone could say, you knew. You were informed and you still did it. Thats negligent and thats reckless. But, again, the key is notice. Which is why in this missouri case, the debate about what they were told becomes critical because the family the dad is saying, look. I wasnt told to selfquarantine. Our doctors said they didnt think our daughter even had it, and they would say that once we found out about it, we left this dance, went right home. We did what we should do. And jen, what were seeing for the first time in new rochelle outside of new york, that onemile containment zone. Yeah. What exactly is that and how effective is it . Well be watching that unfold in the next coming days, but its not marshal law. They are not there to police people. Theyre there to clean, and maybe assist with food and basically its like putting a firewall around a hot spot so that you can flatten the curve as we say, which means slow the spread, protect more vulnerable populations. Maybe not kids, but their grandparents or an older population, and also it buys time. The clock is ticking on this. So every day matters. Were not seeing a full lockdown in new rochelle, but we are seeing it in italy. And a lot of people are wondering, could that happen here . Does the president or the government have that kind of emergency power . Theoretically, yes. I dont expect well get there with this kind of disease, but yes. The Supreme Court has ruled broadly on this kind of issue which is when the government needs to in an emergency situation like this, it can implement pretty draconian measures. Were seeing state by state declare state of emergencies and thats also relevant legally because in a lot of states, you need a state of emergency to be declared before you can take certain action. Can i ask you another legal question, something totally different . Yeah. Harvey weinstein is being sentenced today. Any idea of the length . Defense asking for five years. Prosecutors asking for an indeterminate sentence, but a significant one. Could face nine years. A lot of people think 10 to 15 is the likely range. If he gets less, that would be somewhat of a victory, and over 15 would be more than most people expect. Thats the range were looking at i think in the sentencing today. Appreciate your range as well. I wasnt expecting that question. Good thing i follow that case. Thank you.

Maggie rulli is in london with the latest on that. Good morning, maggie. Reporter good morning, george. As we know, all eyes have been on harry while hes been back here in the uk which makes the timing of the release of these tapes seem particularly purposeful and malicious. This morning, prince harry allegedly speaking about his decision to leave the royal family in a prank call with russian pranksters. The prankster pair tell abc news they gave the tapes to the sun, and called his home in canada earlier this year. They posed at climate activist Greta Thunberg and her father. He said, i can assure you. Marrying a prince or princess is not all its made out to be. And this decision certainly wasnt the easy one, but it was the right decision for our family, the right decision to be able to protect my son. In two phone calls, the man heard in the audio touched on topics such as donald trump. The mere fact that donald trump is pushing the coal industry so big in america, he has blood on his hands. Reporter and the comeback on Climate Change saying, unfortunately, the world is being led by some very sick people. So people like yourselves and the Younger Generation are the ones who are going to make all the difference. This isnt the first time these jokers have duped prominent figures. They allegedly spoke to Bernie Sanders last month. If you wanted to make a statement in support of our plan and my candidacy, i would be very appreciative. We talk about this being a prank, but its not particularly funny for prince harry. This was a difficult period in his life. He thought he was talking to someone he knows and he thought it was a private conversation. For that to be put in the public domain, quite unkind. Reporter these two pranksters are notorious in russia. They are known to have pranked other celebrities like elton john as well as other politicians. Now we reached out to the palace. Right now they say, no comment, and as of now, neither the palace nor harry has confirmed the man we hear on those tapes is really him. Guys . Maggie, thank you so much.

Thank you, george. We are indeed, and we will begin this morning with our friends, the Property Brothers. Theyre launching a new show on hgtv, and theyre teaming up with some famous faces. And were talking about brad pitt, viola davis, melissa mccarthy, Michael Buble just to name a few. This is called celebrity iou. Great concept. The brothers will team up with a famous guest to work on a very special renovation for a loved one. We have an exclusive clip for you. Here is Melissa Mccarthys very special surprise for her aunt and uncle. Going in with a sledgehammer, super satisfying. Jims man cave has begun. I think theyre just going to be totally shocked. Its really easy to give back to people who have done nothing but give. The lesson theyve taught me made me want to give. Here we go. Home sweet home. Oh, its so great. The Property Brothers say its amazing to see someone, these stars, who are extremely successful grounded enough to always remember the people who helped get them where they are. Celebrity iou kicks off monday, april 17th on hgtv. Normally the crowd would go whoa [ applause ] all right. So what do gold teeth, a wand and a big bag of three stuffed elves have in common . Cannot wait for this. Theyre among some of the more interesting items left behind in ubers last year. Yes, i said a bag of stuffed elves. The Company Released the eccentric list. They just released it. It also included items like a cats paw print, a bubble machine, a swarovski crystal covered binoculars. I wonder if it was all one car. If it was, im going where theyre going. Theyre also releasing a list. Lubbock, texas took home the number one spot for the most forgetful city in the u. S. , followed by oxford, mississippi and according to uber, the number one item most commonly forgotten in cars you guessed it. Hello, you left your cell phone. Then you cant call an uber. Lubbock, texas, out there. Maybe, perhaps. Check your uber today. Look at the sign. What are the chances . I know. Thats funny. Finally, guys, it was dress as your favorite person day at Bobby Lester Elementary School in jacksonville, arkansas, and for this kindergartener, the choice was easy. He wanted to celebrate his School Security guard. There he is, celebrating jeffrey cross. His mom says it was all his idea. They got a matching yellow shirt, and wrote junior security on the back. Officer cross so honored that one of his students chose to dress up as him. You dont want to mess with that dynamic duo right there. Thats great. Everybody, thats pop news. Great job. And the crowd roars. [ cheers and applause ] good job, lara. Times are achanging. Yes. And now to our gma cover story. A shocking bachelor finale like weve never seen before. Pilot pete kept us guessing until the very end. What about barb . And peters mom, barb, stole the show. About by boar Abbie Boudreau has that story, and we got Chris Harrisons reaction. Robin is crumpling up the paper. Shes so fired up about this. Good morning. Reporter i know Chris Harrison says it all the time, but seriously last nights Season Finale may have been the most dramatic finale in bachelor history. If you want to be with a woman, you need to become a real man. Reporter a rough landing to p pilot petes season of the bachelor. People have to understand, when i left australia, i thought we had this amazing show that would have been half of tonight, and in that moment, i really think he was all in, but he just couldnt get madison out of his head. Reporter hannah ann saying she was blindsided when peter ended their engagement. Here you go. Heres this. Were done. Reporter hannah and peter coming face to face at the finale. Either you dont mean what you say, or you dont understand the weight of your words and how they impact people. So which one is it . All i can say is im just so sorry from the bottom of my heart. Reporter still, host Chris Harrison felt peters love story wasnt over taking matters in his own hands. You went to visit madison. When i heard she was just as much in love with him as peter was with her, i thought, lets try this. This is your second chance. So what are you going to do . I guess were heading to l. A. Reporter madison facing peter for the First Time Since leaving him behind in australia. I think i know i still just have so much so much love in my heart for you. Reporter madison joining peter on stage, but already their love being tested by peters mom, barb who clearly was not happy about peters decision. We want the best for him, and i have to tell you, completely two different people that one was willing to compromise and the other one has not, and to me to me, you both need to compromise. This is my journey too. This isnt just peter choosing me. This is me choosing peter. Hes going to have to fail to succeed. Im telling you that i love madison, and that should be enough. I tried to fix it. I was trying to, like, extend an olive branch and leave on a good note and i just couldnt get there. Theres just some animosity built up. Reporter so what happens next . Not even peter knows. And overnight, hannah ann posting this pilot themed picture on instagram writing, flying solo. No turbulence accepted. Period. While its clear shes moving forward, only time will tell for peter and madison despite the obstacles they face. Theyre still hopeful love will win in the end, and im hopeful too. Robin . George . Thank you. Just have to breathe. Everybody, just exhale for a moment after that. That was that okay. Were going to turn to more on the coronavirus. Schools are shutting down all across the country. Many families with Young Children forced to stay home for days, even weeks. Gma parenting expert and contributor Rachel Simmons joins us now. Some ways because parents are some ways because parents are going, wow. Its so much going on right now, but what do you do . You say it begins with structure. Absolutely. We need routine, routine, routine because that makes kids feel safe. Remember, theyre making a big transition home and we can keep that sense of stability by telling then theres a certain time they wake up, and just because they dont like it doesnt mean its not good for them. Youre going to wake up at a certain time, and have meals at a certain time, and also involve them in creating the plan. Everybodys more invested in something they have a hand in creating. So ask your child how do you want to spend your day . One of the big benefits here, avoiding boredom as well. My child might be, like, i would like to spend my day with the ipad. Youre going to say something, like, lets spend an hour doing some kind of movement. Lets spend an hour doing something artistic. Lets cook something. You get to pick what it is, but well do it together. You talk about the young ones, but theres teenagers at home as well. George. Lets look at jill, a viewer from long island has a teenager at home, and she has a question for you. This is it. My son is home from school because of the coronavirus. How am i going to keep him off the xbox and make sure he keeps up with his school work . This is an important question and im sure millions of people have it. Its pretty difficult to keep a kid separated from their technology on a day home from school. That being said, how about having your kids earn screen time . How about saying, look, heres the vacuum. You do that, and you can have 20 minutes of minecraft. Its not that kids shouldnt be pitching in. I mean, every kid should pitch in just for the sake of being part of the family, but this is an opportunity for your kids to develop some independence and to contribute around the house. And also structure that school time, especially if kids have to stay home for awhile, a lot of parents will be going through this. Give them a pep talk. Keep your sense of humor intact. Put your oxygen mask on first. Ask for help when you need it, talk to other parents and get help. And this could be a hidden opportunity for parents because we often spend too much time entertaining our children. This is a chance for them to actually we could say to them, look, why dont you take care of yourself for an hour, and maybe your kids will become more independent as a result. Hows it working with your 7yearold . Were working on it. As a single mom, my daughter spends a lot of time entertaining herself, and its been good for all of us, yeah. You have been good for us, rachel. Valuable information. Lets get over to rob. Ill be handing my 8yearold the broom when i get home. I love that advice. Check this out. This is a cute Little Rhinoceros born at the denver zoo. Talk about cute animals. I dare t. J. To nuzzle nose to nose with these. Theyre a little more now to our extraordinary earth on ice, and t. J. Has ventured over the atlantic heading to ice flows and immersed himself into the lives of harp seals. This is an incredible but threatened spot outside Prince Edward island and t. J. Is there. Lets go back. Reporter good morning to you, george. You know i would never steer you wrong, so trust me when i tell you this is the cutest animal on the planet. Were talking about harp seal pups. Most people see them in pictures and thats the only way you probably will because to get to them you have to take a plane to an island, and from an island to a helicopter and land on a piece of ice. That is exactly what i did, but i wish i could tell you this is just a cute story. This is also a Climate Change story and how its threatening to wipe them out. How do you feel when you start making your way out there . I feel trepidation. Im not going to lie to you. All right, you guys. You can start to see. It looks like chocolate sprinkles on the ice. Reporter youre looking at perhaps the biggest and coldest baby nursery on earth. Harp seal pups. Thousands of them. I am on an ice flow in the middle of the northwest atlantic. The person really helping me survive out here, National Geographic explorer, jenn hayes. See how they greet. Yes, thats mom. Shes calming her pup. She gave her that nose to nose kiss of recognition. Are you my mom . Are you my pup . That little guy, too young to go in the water, and see, hes coming around. Thats insane. Reporter mama seals migrate once a year in search of a good, stable ice platform to give birth. Jenn suggests i introduce myself to this one. Hey, guy. I know. Me too. No teeth. Reporter i did, and this little guy and i got acquainted. To be clear, this species, they cannot survive without ice to be born on. They need about three weeks, sometimes up to four to learn how to be a harp seal, mature and be able to survive on their own. Reporter over the last 30 years, warmer temperatures have led to less winter ice. Were slowly warming towards this period without sea ice. Reporter a Research Scientist for canadas department of fisheries and oceans estimates that in just 75 years, these animals will no longer have any solid ice. Theres no escaping it. I mean, its completely tied to the global warming. Reporter even before ice potentially disappears altogether from this area for good, increasingly thin ice like we have this year poses a real threat, and rebecca from the Humane Society international has seen that first hand. When i first went up to the ice flows, you could drive vehicles across this ice, and today were seeing very thin, broken up ice where we should be seeing solid sea ice. In some areas, theres no ice at all, and these animals are dying because of it. Reporter watch this weeks old pup climb onen struggling to find solid ice. Right here. See him . Hes actually in the water. If he doesnt get back up on good ice, hell drown. Were going to watch him and see what he does. Can he do it on his own . He can because this is kind of an accident. He got in there looking probably thinking it was good and solid. Okay. Hes going to make it. Hes going to make it. Hes going to get to solid ice. There is no stopping this as long as the world keeps pumping its co2 into the atmosphere. Global warming will continue, and winter air temperatures will get warmer and the ice will get weaker. Reporter weaker ice, less ice. One day, no ice for them . Our world is changing, and as it does, their world is disappearing. Everybody has an impact on this planet. Every one of us, and i think if we all felt we were part of this bigger ecosystem, that we might actually look at what we do every day. I feel alive so we tell them the story, and then possibly these stories make an impact on some of their Decision Making and their behaviors. Good morning, america. Reporter so what a story and i kind of let them tell their own story, if you will. Its not just about those cute, adorable faces. They are in trouble. Now let me give you the good news, guys. The health of the harp seal right now, the population is stable. Thats a good thing. Theres a stable population, but as one of the scientists put it, we dont ever have good years and bad years of ice. Theyre just okay years and bad years, and thats not a good thing, but again, go out there. Its not an experience i ever thought i would have, but they got to tell their own story, guys. And t. J. , first of all, thank you for going up there to share this story with everybody. And this is its heartbreaking at the same time because this affects the future generations of harp seals and what you saw, our kids and grandkids may not see what you saw up there. What did you share with your daughter from your trip there . Well, first, i had to share the disappointment of why i couldnt bring one back. Had a hard time getting that around her head, but you make the point i got to do this, a an experience i never thought i would have. Its stable, and you think years and years down the road will those kids will not get a chance to go to the gulf and see these animals because theyre not there . Thats terrifying to think of, and what an illustration. I put the cardboard in this bin. The glass in this bin, and the cans, and recycling because im supposed to. But to see how decisions were making directly impact and its taking away a world from an animal and to see that. I understood and see Climate Change in a way a lot of people dont get to experience. We do the right thing because were supposed to, but to see it like this strikes a different chord. Well put. Thats a critical lesson. Thats why were doing this series. Amazing. Thank you for doing this series. Thank you, t. J. Well have a lot more coming up with t. J. And our extraordinary earth series. Good morning. Happy wednesday. Im reggie aqui.

This morning, we are venturing out on the atlantic for a rare look at the place where harp seals give birth. So beautiful, but as t. J. Has eloquently been telling us this morning, Climate Change is thinning out the ice, threatening the seals. T. J. Is in Prince Edward island, canada. Its beautiful. You had an incredible view of their world above and below the ice, t. J. . Reporter yeah, robin, and look. You know me. Not to be one thats at a loss for words, right . I can talk with the best of them, and i still cant find the words to describe this experience. You have to take a helicopter, guys, out over the northwest atlantic and you land on a piece of ice, and that piece of ice is essentially home and needed for survival for these beautiful animals, and i need to know have you just go with me into their world. See those seams . Thats someplace you dont want to step. So you can test the ice with these. Just going to step where you step. Yep. Reporter National Geographic explorer jenn hayes says her heart is with the harp seals of the island. Shes been documenting their annual pupping season for a decade. Arent they beautiful . This is crazy. Im laying on a block of ice in the atlantic staring into the eyes of a pup seal. Whats going on behind us . A mom is going behind us. Each pup has a different personality. This ones a little shy. This ones a little curious. This ones a little scared. Its like sitting in the middle of a giant preschool. You have the shy ones and you have the outgoing ones and you have the really loud ones. This one is a loud one. What is this little guy crying about . Well, hes wondering where mom is thinking, well, i might be hungry. There she is. There she is. Theres mom. Reporter the ice is just half the story. Jenn has the keys to the kingdom below. She drops a special audio device called a hydrophone into a hole through the ice recording seal conversations. T. J. , theyre calling you. What is that im hearing . Are you serious . Can you hear that . Yes, what is that . Those are conversations going on below the ice. That sounds like a bird. Yeah. Thats really cool. I envision mothers down there talking. Hows your pup . Whats your pup doing . Oh, are you going to mate with joe this year . No. Joes lost a lot of his fur. Im not mating with joe. Joe was so last season. I can lift this up, and on the end of this, are gopros and i can set it into these ice holes so i can document the comings and goings of the underwater world. The camera and microphone is down there, but oftentimes you are down there yourself. What is it like down there . Its like swimming in an ice cathedral with ice over your head and amazing formation and it feels like the Sistine Chapel made out of ice. You see these formations, and its beautiful. These seals are lucky. They dont know what theyre swimming through, art. You want to know what i found out . Huh . Seals do get curious. What are you . Who are you . Theyll come in close. Theyll tun on their backs and chatter at you. Theyll be, like, wah, wah, wah. So its magic. And here i am with my Survival Guide who took me out there. This is jenn hayes, National Geographic explorer. Tell me what is it like . You have been doing this for over a decade, hanging out with these seals, but whats it like for you to take out a newbie, somebody like me . Okay, are you ready . Its priceless. Its priceless to introduce you and your viewers to the harp seal nursery and to others to let people connect, connect to Climate Change through this cloud soft animal on obsidian ice. Its priceless. This is why you heard me wax poetic earlier about this, but this is where i get it. Shes very passionate and been walking me through this over the past couple of weeks now. Thank you for walking the whole country through it. We understand you had quite an encounter, a bit of a dangerous situation on the ice yourself. Yeah, okay. We have to were going to show you this. We have a clip of it, but out there on the ice, jenn. What were showing our viewers is that moment. You were out there with me. You were trying to say, be careful where you are walking because you can go through that ice. Guys, i was absolutely fine. Oh my gosh. But jenn, you make the point that this was a very good illustration actually of the problem because years past, you didnt have to worry about where you were stepping because there was better, solid ice. Exactly. Shore to shore ice. Historically, thick ice, stable platform, and now we have a really fractured environment that wind and weather, they break up and get smaller and smaller and smaller and it creates this unstable environment. And its dangerous for the pups, you used to have vehicles out on the ice. Not us, but historically the locals did. They used to be able to put a snowmobile down and go, and they could walk great distances on the ice without fear, and now certain years, you are issued a pole and you feel your way through. On occasion, you find a soft spot with the pole or with something else. I found a soft spot. Again, guys, i was fine, but a lot more people are going through the ice these days and a lot of tourists that go out there. Jenn, thank you so much for what you do, and for taking us through this experience. We do appreciate it, but guys, shes the one that has been doing this awhile, and helping us bring this story to our viewers, and hopefully get in their minds, and it sticks. Like you say all the time, the decisions were making back home have an impact on another world. Have a giant impact by all means. Thank you guys. Well leave it there from here. Thanks, t. J. Were glad t. J. s okay. Yeah, i know, but jenn, wow. She is jenn, can we have lunch . I know. I tell you. Wow. That was special. Incredible woman. Just amazing. Well be right back. You can run liked theres no tomorrow. But tomorrow always comes. Dramatic choir music dramatic choir music dramatic choir music its the rush of relaxation. Introducing the allnew lincoln corsair. Welcome back to gma. Were here with dave burd, the rapper behind songs like exboyfriend and earth. Now hes starring in his own show called dave. We love having you here. Are you ready . Yes. I dont think a lot of people know this. I certainly didnt, and i chuckle every time i think of it. Your rap career which is no joke, started right after you were at a bar mitzvah. You spent all your bar mitzvah money to launch your career. Yeah. So basically when i was 13 as a jewish boy, i had a bar mitzvah. And one fortunate element of a bar mitzvah is you get money and my parents wouldnt let me touch it until adulthood, and then finally when i was, like, a 23yearold, i thought what am i going to spend my money on . My dream. I used it to finance any rap career. Hold on. What did they say, when you said, im going to use the money for this . They were anti. I was, like, what aim going to do . Buy a couch with this money . Why wouldnt i pursue my dreams . I think it was a curveball for them. But a curveball thats really that i knocked out of the park. Yeah. So now youre taking it to the next level with dave. You started pitching it and you told people that you were going to be the next kanye. Yeah. Can you believe that . I mean, thats just, like, the rapper in me is that, like, you know, youre a competitor. Any rapper its like a sport. No ones trying to be in 30th place. Any rapper true tli in truly in their heart believes theyre the best rapper. Rapper. Rapper. Thats what this is about. He looks like an ordinary man, but hes one of the best rappers alive. It happens to be real. Ive got platinum a lot. Yeah. Bar mitzvah money, platinum album, and tv show. Lets take a look at a clip. Lets check it out. This is dave. Dave. What . You always do this. Do you realize that im dating a rapper who ive never heard rap out loud . Oh my god. Will you rap for me . Rap for me right now. Oh my god. Rap for me. Rap for me. This is a kindergarten beat box. Throw down. Look. I dont know. I dont know. No. Im sorry. I dont know. Thats my job. I dont ask you to come home and teach me things. Oh, you just asked me if pork was beef. All right. So this is semiautobiographical. Its loosely based on my life. I happen to be in the position where my life is loosely entertaining and i go on tour and rap in front of thousands of people, but i cant half the time when i record, my nose is too stuffed. Its kind of like the juxtaposition of those two worlds. You do take real life situations and maybe slightly embellish. Yeah. Exactly. Hyperbolize for the sake of comedy. Your birthday is this weekend. Yes. Youre a big fan of the Cheesecake Factory. Yeah. Brings out the cheesecake. Were wishing you a happy birthday. This is so nice. You love this. Do you want me to be honest with you . Love the Cheesecake Factory, dont like cheesecake. Oh, no. That being said, i still appreciate it. Look at this. The gift cards are amazing.

The daffodils and mums and other purple stuff there, and temperatures will be warm enough to get them popping this week. 84 degrees in dallas. 82 degrees in austin, and 81 in houston. Our warm winter continues across the country. Here now with the smartest man i know. Brian greene is a physicist and philosopher, and now out with a new book called until the end of time. Its rhis reflections on the beginning and end of time. Its a shame you chose such a narrow topic. Its a big story to tell. I agree with that. Its really driven by the passion of your professional life. Explain why you wrote it. I wanted to try to give a book that would give the biggest perspective, right . We need to understand where we came from. Stars, planets, galaxies, people. We need to understand where were headed if were going to understand how we fit into the cosmic hole, and thats important. Some say the story can be boiled down to the battle between two principles. Yeah. Like to think about it as entropy and evolution. Those are the two principles that organize how everything unfolded. Theres an idea that things fall apart, wither, age, and the other side shows evolution, and particles can come together and yield complex structures that ultimately live and think. Across the cosmic time line, theyre kind of battling it out, and we are the output of that war if you will between those forces. As a physicist, you spent so much of your time al room with a peace of paper working out calculations, but one of the things that you do is bring home what you are learning in ways that all of us can understand, and i love your analogy to kind of give people a sense of the scale of what cosmic time is. You used the empire state building. The durations are so important that you need a metaphor and an image. If you think of the empire state building, each floor represents ten of the previous. In this scheme, everything from the big bang until today extends just above the tenth floor, and from here, we go exponentially far. The big bang is right there, and if you go up to floor 12, the distant galaxies rush away ever more quickly faster than the speed of light, leaving us floating in a sea of darkness. Keep going, up to floor 14 were only on 14 . Yeah. Keep going, right . The stars will use up the nuclear fuel and fade to black. Go up to floor 20, if the earth was small enough, it would spiral into the dark, having lost energy to gravitational radiation. If you keep going from there, floor 30, we would fall into a central black hole, and go up to 38, protons and matter will likely disintegrate showing that complex structures cannot last forever, and if you go to floor 68 to the peak, even black holes themselves will disintegrate giving off a bath of cosmos and thats basically it. Thats basically it. Siificanre, that can and vstudd t e. The sues, the more youve studied this, the more it fills you with gratitude. We are temporary collections of particles, but look what we can do. Were organized and exquisitely configured that we can create beauty. We can illuminate mystery, and experience wonder. Im talking about everything from the pyramids to beethovens 9th symphony, to Quantum Mechanics and beyond. That fills me with gratitude, the cosmic journey however fleeting it may be. Thats an incredible story and incredible book. Until the end of time is out now. Lets go over to michael, sara and keke. We go from the meaning of the universe to strahan, sara keke. Wow.
