On a call with governors the nations top Infectious Disease doctor warning of dire consequences if Labor Day Weekend gatherings lead to an increase in infections. You must remember, following the fourth of july following memorial day, when people understandably get out and coregate and we have surges. One thing that we dont want, we dont want whacamole as we go into fall. Where you get one down, and another one comes up. Reporter some areas are not closing.

And while were trying to hang on to the summer weather a group of lawmakers is already looking ahead to halloween asking the cdc for guidance so people can start planning how they will celebrate that holiday. Tom. Another tough conversation parents are going to have with their kids. All right, eva. Thank you. Joining us is dr. Ashish jha, the new dean of the Brown University school of Public Health. I want to start with the image we just saw in evas report there, this crowded classroom in Volusia County at one school. Yes, some kids are wearing masks, some arent. Look how crowded that hallway is. How dangerous is this . Yeah, good morning, tom. Thanks for having me on. You know, images are like are frustrating because weve all been working really hard to figure out how to get our kids back to school. Schools have to take some responsibility to make sure that kind of packing up and bunching up doesnt happen. Its called staggering schedules and moving kids around in a way that allows for kids to get from class to class. I found that frustrating and really dispiriting in some ways because we can do better. Dr. Jha, here in new york city the largest School District in the country they have pushed back the start of school. The unions were upset. There is a lot of confusion and yet every night people go home and they watch professional athletes that are able to play sports because theres frequent testing in professional sports. Is that something thats even realistic for our schools . Is it necessary . Yeah, first of all, i think it is necessary. I think its really helpful especially in places that dont have the very, very low transmission rate so there are a few communities in america that can maybe get away without testing but for a large part of america, surveillance testing, the kind that the white house staff get, the kind that professional sports get would be extremely helpful. Were not doing it and, in fact, yesterday, Administration Officials called it utopia to be able to have that for our kids. Of course, i believe that if we can do it for our athletes, we can do it for the white house, we should be able to do it for our kids. We heard about the warning from dr. Fauci about labor day. How critical are the next five days as we enter the fall . I think theyre really important. The fall is something weve all been worried about. Flu season will be with us. Spending more time indoors so people have to act responsibly on labor day. I think being outside is great. Going out to the beach is great. Its the large indoor gatherings, its the bars, its the Indoor Dining, its the house party where you have 30 people inside your home. Those are the things that are going to set off big outbreaks and the things that people absolutely have to avoid. On that point, dr. Jha, Southern California saw spikes after july 4th, after memorial day. Theyre not closing any beaches this time for labor day. In florida, they are closing some beaches so who exactly has it right . Yeah, you know, i dont necessarily think we need to be closing beaches. To me, the beaches arent where the spread is happening because its outdoors and again, dont let them get super packed, so maybe manage how incredibly how busy they get, but what happens is people get together on beaches and then they go out to the bar afterward, and thats what really spreads the disease. So keep the beaches open, close the bars and i think we can get through it pretty safely. Dr. Jha, you mentioned this earlier, but lets be real. It will be Labor Day Weekend. People have been living with the pandemic for seven months. Theyll want to go to beaches and see family and friends at barbecues. What can you recommend to make sure people can have a fun labor day, but also stay safe into the fall . Yes, so i do believe we can have a fun labor day. We cant do everything we did last labor day. What can we do . Backyard barbecues are fine as long as theyre not massive, you have to have a plan. What if it starts raining . Dont have everyone come indoors because that becomes risky. Go to the beach but dont go out to an Indoor Dining restaurant afterwards. There are things we can do that get us maybe 80 , 90 of what a fun labor day might be. If we try to go for the last 10 , 20 well get into trouble and a lot of people are going to get sick, and weve got to avoid that. Fun but responsible. Dr. Jha, we thank you for your time. Thank you. Amy. Well, tom to an exclusive abc news report raising questions about how the Trump Administration is dealing with possible russian interference in the election. Abc news learning that a warning about russian dirty tricks was pulled two days before it was set to go out to Law Enforcement. Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl has more on that. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, amy. Abc news has obtained a Draft Department of Homeland Security bulletin that warns about russian attempts to interfere in the upcoming election. It was a warning that was supposed to be issued two months ago to Law Enforcement agencies but never went out, raising serious questions about who stopped it and why. It was meant to be a warning, an intelligence bulletin from the department of Homeland Security alerting local, federal Law Enforcement to a russian scheme to damage joe bidens president ial campaign. A draft bulletin titled russia likely to denigrate health of u. S. Candidates to influence 2020 election said intelligence analysts had determined with high confidence that russia is trying to convince voters that joe biden isnt mentally fit to be president. As evidenced, the bulletin cites stories by russian controlled news outlets from september 2019 until may of this year claiming without evidence that joe bidens, quote, verbal miscues are symptoms of dementia. We assess russian malign influence actors are likely to continue denigrating president ial candidates through allegations of poor mental or physical health to influence the outcome of the 2020 elections, the bulletin said. The bulletin also said chinese and iranian statecontrolled media had also been raising questions about mental fitness, but about trumps mental fitness, not bidens. According to an email obtained by abc news, the bulletin shared with senior staff at the department of Homeland Security on july 7th. Its scheduled to be released on july 9th, but just an hour after receiving the bulletin, the chief of staff to the acting secretary of Homeland Security put the brakes on. Please hold on sending this one out until you have a chance to speak to as1, he wrote, referring to acting Homeland Security secretary chad wolf. That was nearly two months ago and the bulletin was never issued. In response to our reporting a spokesperson tells abc news while dhs generally does not comment on leaked documents, this particular draft product lacked the necessary context and evidence for broader dissemination outside of the department of Homeland Securitys office of intelligence and analysis. After briefing the acting secretary, i a leadership delayed the product for further review. The spokesperson also notes dhs did share three other reports on Election Security with state and local Law Enforcement. The trump campaigns message on bidens fitness has been similar to the one the bulletin attributes to the russians including this ad released in june. Joe biden is slipping. Rapidly rising um and with reporter shortly before the dhs document was drafted. In response to our story a spokesperson for the president s campaign told abc, we will beat joe biden fair and square and we dont need or want any foreign interference. But the withholding of this document, t. J. , is espec reor of National Intelligence to cut off inperson briefings to congress on election interference, t. J. Jon karl, thank you so much. We want to turn to video you have to see to believe. A daring firefighter rescue, new yorks bravest saving a woman who was dangling from her window 16 stories up. Our Stephanie Ramos has the incredible video. Oh, my god. There is a woman on the ledge. Reporter a Daring Rescue 16 stories above new york city tuesday. Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

The firefi breaking the windows on the floor above and lowering a firefighter to the woman as she clings to the window below, the sill just a few inches wide. I didnt want to see anybody fall. Thats all i cared about. I just wanted to get her inside. Reporter the rescue met with cheers from onlookers. This morning, the firefighters hailed as heroes after hoisting the woman to safety. This is really a heroic rescue, and it really shows the talent and the bravery of the members of the new York City Fire department. It was awesome. That was hero, superhero spiderman superhero stuff you saw today. Reporter one firefighter says he stayed at the window and kept telling the woman not to jump, that fdny would save her, and they should did. Guys . Wow, thank you. Talent and bravery as the commissioner said. We are following a lot of other headline this is morning, including Breonna Taylors boyfriend speaking out as he sues the city and police accusing them of trying to cover up her killing.

The president pushing his law and order rallying cry and going after protesters when asked about systemic racism. The president will head to North Carolina today, another battleground state, with the election 62 days out. Also right now for the first time ever, a kennedy has lost a congressional race in massachusetts. Congressman joe kennedy iii conceded to incumbent senator ed markey.

This win was extra special for the 23time grand slam champ. It was her daughter olympias 3rd birthday. So a big day overall. We want to turn now and start this half hour with that explosive new lawsuit filed by the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor, the louisville woman fatally shot by police in her own home. Taylors boyfriend said police mistreated him on that night as another man now alleges prosecutors offered him a plea deal to smear taylor after her death. Abcs marcus moore joins us now with the latest. Marcus, good morning. Reporter t. J. , good morning. That lawsuit was filed tuesday and in it Breonna Taylors boyfriend describes the horrific moment those shots rang out in their louisville home. His cries for help, the lawsuit says, went unanswered. Speaking out publicly for the First Time Since his girlfriend, Breonna Taylor, was shot to death by police, Kenneth Walker is revealing the deep pain and his call for justice. My life changed forever. I can no longer remain silent. Reporter walker is now suing the city of louisville and the louisville police, seeking 10. 5 million in damages for assault, battery, false arrest and malicious prosecution and asking for immunity from any further prosecution. The charges brought against me were meant to silence me and cover up breonnas murder. Kenny was, for lack of a better term, framed in this case and charged with crimes that he did not commit. Reporter nearly six months have passed since taylor was killed. According to the lawsuit, walker says he and the 26yearold emt worker had fallen asleep when he says police broke down the door on a noknock warrant. Walker says in selfdefense he fired a shot. Taylor caught in the middle of the officers firing bullets, was hit five times. In the lawsuit walker claims he yelled for help, quote, but no one came as his wounded girlfriend bled to death. Help oh, my god. Every night he goes to sleep worried this is going to happen again. And every day he gets up he doesnt know is today the day theyre coming back. Reporter one officer was shot in the leg. Police initially charged walker with attempted murder but those charges were later dropped. Walkers lawyers maintain that the bullet that hit the officer may have come from friendly fire. I was raised by a good family. I am a legal gun owner and i would never knowingly shoot a police officer. Reporter there have been months of protest and outrage calling for the officers to be charged with taylors death. The hashtags, justice for Breonna Taylor and say her name going viral. This as taylors ex who was the subject of that no knock warrant is speaking out from jail accusing louisville prosecutors of offering him a plea deal if he would connect breonna to his ongoing drug case. I turned it down from day one when i seen the names on there. Theyre incriminating other people who had nothing to do with anything. Reporter the Prosecutors Office deny breonna was ever a codefendant in the case, saying the sheet that sam aguiar posted on facebook was a draft that was part of a preindictment plea negotiations. Those were never part of the court record and are not court documents. Breonna taylors family has released a statement saying in part that they are outraged and that its enormously ironic that the accused drug dealer here acted with honor refusing to falsely discredit bre after her death even when offered the temptation of no prison time for lying while prosecutors and police acted in the most egregiously dishonest way possible. Amy. Marcus moore, thank you for that. Now to an important new study about two popular face coverings, face shields and masks with valves. Researchers are looking at whether they are effective in blocking viral particles such as coronavirus from escaping. Will reeve joins us now with the dramatic visuals you need to see before you head out wearing one of these. Good morning to you, will. Reporter good morning to you, amy. With face coverings required at so many places around the country and experts recommending wearing them at all times amid the pandemic, its important to know whether what youre wearing works and what might be a better option. Three, two, one. Reporter this morning, new video showing just how ineffective a face shield can be when used alone to protect against the spread of coronavirus. Its part of a new study from Florida Atlantic university. Researchers using a water and glycerin mixture to simulate a cough or sneeze from a mannequins mouth or nose. The larger droplets will get stopped but the smaller droplets, they follow the air streams very well so they can be flow around the visor very easily. When face shields are used by health care workers, its always in conjunction with a mask. Reporter researchers also testing an n95 rated mask with an exhalation valve. When we inhale, the valve closes so all the air gets filtered through the mask material but during exhalation, the valve opens and nothing needs to go through the mask material. Theres a free flow of air which is not good if youre trying to restrict the spread of droplets. Reporter he noted these specific masks are mainly designed for construction workers. Earlier this summer this same Research Group tested which masks could be most effective at blocking particles from traveling. The winner in that study, the home made quilt and cotton mask which kept particles close at 2 1 2 inches away as compared to the bandana which allowed particles to travel upwards of 3 feet. However it did not include all commonly used mask types. Bottom line takeaway. Shields and masks with valves not as effective as stopping droplets from spreading but droplets will always spread to some degree no matter the type of mask a person uses so maintaining social distance is, as always, very important. Tom . Great tips there. All right, will. Thank you. We want to go to that bear scare caught on camera. A group of hikers chased by a zlizgry g you see it right there. Janai norman is here with th. Janai, these hikers like a lot of us did not know what to do in this situation . Reporter yeah, tom. Its hard to think on your toes pretty quickly when you find yourself the target of a charging bear but this was recorded by a couple of hikers who tried to warn the group ahead of time. Get off the trail get off the trail reporter watch as this massive grizzly charges a group of hikers in montanas National Glacier park. The tense faceoff captured by avid hikers, dule and evy who spotted the animal before the group below and shouted to warn them. I noticed the grizzly coming down out of a tree line onto a meadow and i said, look, baby, there is a bear. Dont run dont run reporter but within moments the grizzly races up the hillside toward the group. As the trio scram to safety, the bear thankfully turns and clamors away. Youre good. Reporter grizzly bear sightings arent uncommon in Glacier National park, and Officials Say if you do run into a bear, you should remain calm, avoid eye contact, slowly back away and, yes dont run dont run reporter dont run. We complain about them running but had a 1yearold toddler on their back and who knows what was going through their mind. Grizzlies can weigh about 600 pounds and stand 6 feet tall on their hind legs. The hikers were pretty frazzled by the all work, but if it was me and they said dont run, im probably going to run. Right, and that first tip, remain calm, that is almost impossible in that situation. Wow. Dont forget to avoid eye contact. All right, coming up, the shark attack survivor.

I just sort of thought, sharks got my leg. What am i going to do . Reporter this morning, Chantelle Doyle is thankful to be alive, freed from the jaws of a great white. Patient has numerous deep lacerations to just above the knee to midcalf. Reporter the 35yearold mother now speaking out from a hospital bed after a shark d on surfing off the coast of australia last month. I was very conscious of the fact that i might die. Reporter the surfer was out with her partner mark that day trying to catch a wave when she got caught instead. As i was paddling, i felt something very intentionally thud or ram the underside of my board, and it hit me with enough force that i knew it wasnt an accident. Reporter chantelle battling to get away, but the shark refusing to let go. I grabbed the board and pulled myself up on the board and it all goes through in such a blur, but while i was pulling myself up, i could feel the shark readjusting its mouth, like, trying to get a good grip. Shes sort of yelling, you know, theres a shark, its got me, help. Reporter instinct took over and mark started pummeling the shark.

You became a household name and now youre heading to the dance floor in the ballroom. What has life been like for you over the past five months . Well,tiger king really glamorized animal abusers and villainized me for trying to stop animal abuse and so i felt really betrayed by that. But what amazed me was how many people believed that false portrayal of me without doing anything to find out who i really am so its been a nightmare since tiger king aired. Well, do you think, carole, you can turn it around with this show and by dancing . You say you were villainized. Now people maybe get to see you in a new light. I really hope so and the biggest thing for me is that the longer my partner and i can stay in the running and in the competition, it will keep the cats forefront in the viewers eye, and to me that was where tiger king missed the ball. It really should have been focused on the animals and so im hoping dancing with the stars will do that. You talk about the show there. It highlighted kind of a beef you had, right, and weve seen how tenacious you can be against a rival. Now, should some of the other competitors be concerned that youre going to bring that same tenacity to the dance floor . I am competitive. But im competitive with myself.

You got the moves but, you know, what did your kids say when they heard you would be on this big show . You know what, i havent told them yet. So theyre probably going to watch this and see it or one of their friends will hit them by now and say, yo, but im pretty sure theyll be a little bit shocked but excited. You know, like i said youve done so much in your career. When they told you you would be on dancing with the stars, what was your honest first reaction . Honest first reaction was hell yeah, lets do it. You know what i mean like like, um, im pretty much game. I love competition and i think this is one that will set me apart from others in i can pull this one off only because i got two left feet and probably two right ankles, so, you know, im trying to see where we can go.

Joining us live we revealed the latest mirror ball competitorers moments ago and chatted with half the crew.

Seems like weve been watching you dance for the past 30 years. Ballroom dancing. But you said youre ready to go. What do you have for us this morning . What can you tease us with. Lets see im trying to implement a little bit of what i formally do, so a little bit more of like, you know stuff like this. But then ive also been told from my partner that this is where my hand needs to always be. This is my reign of terror. Zone of terror. Too low or too high, im totally going to lose so im trying to just listen intently. I love that. Do the best i can. All right, monica aldama, we love you in cheer. You led your squad to victory 14 times so youre all about competition. I know that and we actually have a message for you from jerry harris, one of you cheerleaders. Lets take a look. Aagh. Congratulations, monica. For getting picked to be on dancing with the stars. You deserve it. Yes many. Im so happy for you. I cant wait to vote for you every week, cheer for you and just scream at the tv. Tell us what youll bring to the ballroom floor. Well, im hoping that, you know, my 25 years of experience in getting teams ready for competition, i can use the strategy that we use for mentally and physically preparing, i have never done dance in my life. Ive always done cheerleading and learned very quickly its completely different and its a whole different technique so i have a long journey ahead of me but i know how to work hard. Im definitely going to bring that. You got your cheering squad there too as well so well look forward to that. A fierce competitor. We have to keep our eye on monica. Jess jesse metcalfe, we remember you from desperate housewives. We heard you were asked to be on dancing with the stars before but this time you said yes so what was the reason for this years ballroom . You know, i really just feel that its a totally new landscape in the Entertainment Industry with youtubers and tiktokers crossing over and doing big movies. You know, its sort of wide open for you to do whatever you want and i always wanted to do the show. I was just afraid that people wouldnt take me seriously as an actor and now i feel like, you know, we live in a world where you can do whatever you want so here i am. Im basically a nondancer. I mean i have no formal training in dance whatsoever. So im excited to work hard and hopefully leave the show with a new skill set. Maybe get a job on broadway. All right. Going in with the right attitude. I love that. Adre t big and yr sons k is an dancer. I dont think they think anything. Theyve only seen me dance with brooms. I never had professional trainer as an actor but got schooled by the best and never had a professional dancing class, but im going to be schooled by the best and honestly who could say though to that. You know, i think my kids are beyond they are so supportive and here and alice is being schooled, literally by homer so that i can do this and they can both be here with me and they couldnt be more excited. Its pretty cool. Sounds like some of the competitors are playing mind games. I know how to dance. Justina, youve had all kinds how are the dance rehearsals going for you now . The other day i walked out of rehearsal and somebody said are you okay . And i said, yeah, theyre like you dont look okay. I was limping out of that rehearsal. Going that well, huh .

Well, i was going to say aj because ive seen his show live, ive seen the way his hips move and theyre better than mine but then i saw that johnny guys video and thats intimidating.
