Will right now the baja peninsula including popular Cabo San Lucas is bracing for heavy rain and powerful winds. Janai and thats as parts of Southern California are at extreme risk high risk of extreme rainfall that could cause flash flooding, even mudslides. Abcs zohreen shah joins us live from los angeles with how people are preparing for the major storm heading their way. Zohreen, good morning. Reporter janai, nearly every Single Person ive spoken to is very nervous about the next couple of days. This is the first ever Tropical Storm warning issued for california, and if hilary reaches here as a Tropical Storm, our weather team says it is going to be the first in the state in more than 25 years. The monster category 4 hurricane is currently spinning more than 200 miles off the coast of mexico with 130mileperhour winds. As it gets closer, heavy rains can bring the threat of lifethreatening flash flooding, mudslides, and debris flow, and there is a lot of prep already under way. People who live in communities that dont even flood are getting sandbags ready to go to divert water. In just the last couple weeks, we saw some hillside homes collapse, and theres a real fear that could happen again. Earlier this year the area was pummeled by Atmospheric River storms, and while that same area is under threat again, the heaviest rain is forecast more inland in the deserts where the National Weather service says some areas could see their annual rainfall in just 48 hours and some parts could get up to 10 inches of rain. One of those places is Joshua Tree National park. Thats about two hours east of los angeles, and its going to be closed for the next day as they assess conditions, and the forecast even has an impact on sports, the dodgers, the angels, the padres are all canceling their games tomorrow. They will all be doubleheaders today. Janai . Janai zohreen, thank you. Even a little bit of rain has a potential to cripple parts of Southern California, so well be watching that. Lets bring in somara in jersey city with the latest on hilarys track. Good morning, somara. Somara good morning, janai. Overnight no real changes to hurricane hilarys track. Its still a category 4 hurricane, anticipated to make landfall in mexico and drive into Southern California as a Tropical Storm as we move into sunday evening and then into monday morning, but lets talk impacts. Now, while los angeles will see some flooding, the brunt of this will be the desert. To put this in perspective, i want you to picture a large tub of water falling on a wood floor as opposed to carpet. With such a low absorption rate, its such a bad combination. Flooding will be extreme the farther east you go, and theres a possibility for mudslides, landslides and even a few spinup tornados. Im concerned about areas like palm springs as well. Meanwhile, there is an absence of rain north of california in washington, and wildfires are raging there east of spokane, washington. The gray fire has prompted evacuations and dense smoke. Gio . Gio all right, somara, we know youll be tracking it all. Thanks so much. We go to maui where anger is growing over the lack of warnings amid the search for hundreds who remain missing from those devastating wildfires, and now some residents fear they could be left out of discussions about the rebuilding of their communities. Abcs melissa adan is on the ground in maui with the latest. Good morning to you, melissa. Reporter gio, good morning. Search and recovery crews are now combing through more than half of the burned areas as so many families deal with this unthinkable loss. Overnight, hawaiis first lady overwhelmed with emotion for mauis devastating loss. Tragically it took less than a single day for us to lose lahaina in the deadliest fire our country has seen in more than a century. Reporter this as the official death toll inches up to 114 since the raging flames hit lahaina just 11 days ago. Roughly 470 First Responders and 40 search dogs combing through the debris hoping to reunite separated families. This process is agonizing for the families waiting for word from their loved ones, and heartbreaking for those sifting through the debris. Reporter a group of concerned citizens calling on the local government to give locals time to grieve. The governor should not rush to rebuild the Community Without first giving people time to heal, especially without including the community itself in the planning. Reporter many families are left grappling with the tragedy of losing loved ones. Joy richters fatherinlaw died as they were seeking shelter from the flames. The smells, the sounds. The sound of a blazing fire is something i dont wish anybody to ever hear or experience. The sounds i heard will never ever leave my head. Reporter so, so heavy, right . Well, fema has approved more than 5. 8 million in assistance to nearly 2,000 households, and the head of fema planning on joining the president and first lady on monday to tour the devastation in lahaina. Will . Will yeah, anger amid the search for answers and those hundreds still missing. Melissa, thank you down in maui. To politics now, though, and the road to 2024. Just days until the first republican president ial debate in milwaukee, it appears gop frontrunner, former president trump, will be a no show. Abcs rachel scott has the latest from the campaign trail. Reporter this morning, all eyes on georgia as atlanta braces for Donald Trumps surrender. His republican rivals flooding the battleground state pitching a new direction for the party. I hope that we will be focused on the future of the country rather than some of the other static thats out there right now. Reporter notably absent, the former president , still maintaining a commanding lead in the race. It wont be the only time his challengers take the stage without him. Sources tell abc news trump is not only planning to skip the first debate, but is considering counterprogramming it. His former running mate insisting he should show up. You know, i always stood loyally by President Donald Trump until my oath to the constitution required me to do otherwise, but my differences with the president go far beyond that fateful day, and i hope to have a chance to debate it with him. Reporter much of the republican field has been reluctant to take on trump over his election lies. The New York Times reporting that a strategy memo posted by a prodesantis super pac advises desantis to defend trump when former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie attacks him. Christie firing back. Because people are really beginning to wonder what the hell he stands for, and if what he stands for is defending donald trump, then just drop out of the race and endorse him. Reporter trump has less than a week to surrender in georgia. The former president expected to be photographed and fingerprinted. The states republican Governor Brian Kemp suggesting its time to move on from the former president and his repeated false claims about the 2020 election. That was three years ago. If youre still mad about that, quit complaining about that. Reporter officials here in atlanta are preparing to ramp up security with trump expected to surrender in just a matter of days. Remember, that deadline for trump to surrender just two days after the first republican debate, just the latest example of his legal calendar clashing with his political calendar. Guys .

The prosecutor urging Ethan Crumbley be tried as an adult and sentenced to life in prison. Abcs reena roy joins us now with details from that fourday hearing. Reena, good morning. Reporter will, good morning to you. Friday was the final day of testimony to help determine whether Ethan Crumbley will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. He shot and killed four students and injured seven others at Oxford High School in michigan back in 2021. Crumbley was 15 at the time. Prosecutors say he planned out the massacre and even researched what punishment he might face. The defense says crumbley was dealing with psychosis and was neglected by his parents. Both sides calling in experts to testify. Ethan crumbleys parents, james and jennifer crumbley, are separately charged with Involuntary Manslaughter for allegedly making the gun accessible and failing to recognize warning signs. They are the first parents in america to be charged in a School Shooting and have pleaded not guilty. If the judge decides to sentence crumbley as a juvenile, he faces 25 to 40 years in prison. A decision is expected next month. Janai . Janai and well be watching that, reena, thank you. Turning now to the major cities scrambling to accommodate the growing influx of migrants looking for housing anywhere they can. Abcs Morgan Norwood is here with how theyre trying to handle the crisis. Good morning, morgan. Reporter hey, good morning to you, janai. I want to begin with new york. There is a controversial proposal here in the city. Officials want to house migrants in a federal jail that once imprisoned terrorists, mobsters, and some of the biggest wall street swindlers. Now, with nearly 100,000 migrants pouring into new york city thus far, the mayors administration is suggesting the now defunct Metropolitan Correctional Center as a potential migrant shelter. Remember, that jail closed epsteins suicide because of its filth and unsafe conditions. Advocates have been sounding the alarm about this calling the jail decrepit and not a suitable place for people trying to build a new life. The federal bureau of prisons emphasizing that mcc new york is closed and that longterm plans have not been finalized. All of this as chicago is now staring down its own housing crisis as close to 1,000 migrants are living in police stations waiting for places and shelters. The mayor says its their only option at least for a couple of weeks as they scramble to find a new facility. It comes, though, as apprehensions along the southern border increased last month to close to 133,000, but overall still down nearly 30 from last year. That was when title 42 expired or was still in place, rather, with officials touting bidens policies for that drop. The texas governor, who, of course, has been outspoken about bidens rules plans to hold a press conference on monday bringing other republican governors of nonborder states to call for tighter security. Guys . Gio all right, morgan, thank you very much. American consumers, oh, they can soon see higher prices on many of the things we buy due in part to major shipping delays over at the panama canal. Abcs Alexis Christoforous is here now to explain that backlog. Good morning, alexis. Reporter good morning, gio. This is fresh evidence of the impact Climate Change is having on Global Business and trade. The panama canal, one of the worlds most important trading routes, is in desperate need of water. The canal is going through its driest spell in more than a century as el nino brings higher temperatures and less rain. The drought is squeezing Global Supply chains, and that could mean higher prices and less choice for consumers just in time for the holidays. The lack of rain is forcing the waterways authorities to reduce the number of ships passing through. Those that do must carry less cargo to conserve water. The result, a major traffic jam. More than 200 ships are currently waiting to cross the canal, much more than the usual 90 vessels, and the wait time to get through, now up to three weeks. Thats delaying tens of billions of dollars in goods. Everything from oil and gas to furniture and appliances. 40 of all u. S. Container traffic flows through the panama canal. If the drought and the delays continue, experts tell us they could spark another surge in inflation just as Consumer Prices are starting to cool. Guys . Will no drought for those prices flowing through to consumers there. Alexis, thank you very much. Lets head over to somara in jersey city. She has the weather. Somara hey, good morning.

Will and Shanna Gardner is being held with no bond in washington after being indicted for the executionstyle murder of her exhusband, a microsoft executive.

Everyone was looking forward to her release and hoping she would be able to communicate with her mother. Janai sad story. We do start now with the man accused of killing four Idaho College students appearing in court. Attorneys for Bryan Kohberger making a request to the prosecution and a judge weighing in. Abcs faith abubey has more on these developments. Good morning, faith. Reporter good morning, janai. Loved ones of one of the murder victims were inside that courtroom as Defense Attorneys tried to cast doubt on the evidence against Bryan Kohberger. In the meantime, though, the suspect himself out of his orange jail jumpsuit showing very little emotion in that hearing. Quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger wearing a tie and a blazer entering an idaho courtroom friday for the First Time Since june. All rise. Reporter his defense lawyers requesting a pause on the case for more time to review additional evidence and demanding state prosecutors release all details about the investigation into dna samples they say put kohberger directly at the crime scene. They have provided full discovery for the sheets, the dna found on the knife sheath, but not the other three unidentified male dna samples. Reporter but prosecutors insist theyve already given the defense access to everything they have. We cant produce something that doesnt exist. Reporter investigators say kohbergers dna from a cheek swab is a statistical match to a sample they found on a knife sheath underneath madison mogen, one of the four university of idaho students they say he stabbed to death in an offcampus house back in november 2021, but the defense trying to cast doubt pushing the state to disclose the materials they used during the genetic genealogy investigation, accusing them of not turning over lab results related to three unidentified male dna samples found at the scene. At this point all im hearing is speculation. Reporter with just six weeks left before the trial, the defense hoped the experts would compel the judge to side with their request for more discovery. Its essential for the attorney to know for a number of reasons about the details of the testing and the investigation. Reporter Police Allege they zeroed in on kohberger using dna, cell phone data and a white Hyundai Elantra spotted near the crime scene, similar to kohbergers vehicle. Earlier this month, kohbergers attorneys were compelled to give an alibi to explain their clients whereabouts during the murders saying in part, quote, mr. Kohberger has had a long habit of going for drives alone. Often he would go for drives at night, but the prosecution is calling it a vague alibi, asking the defense whether they intend to provide more corroborating information. Meanwhile, Kaylee Goncalves father eager to see justice. Today was the first time it felt like things were actually being hashed out, and we were making progress towards a solution of truth. Reporter and, janai, the judge in this case previously entered a not guilty plea on behalf of Bryan Kohberger, but his Defense Attorneys want the entire case thrown out arguing that the grand jury process was flawed. Janai . Janai yeah, even questioning the jury selection process. Faith, thank you. For a deeper look now at this story, were joined by channa lloyd, an abc news legal contributor and managing partner for the cochran firm. Channa, thank you so much for being with us this morning. How critical is the dna evidence in this case . Janai, the dna evidence in this case is quite critical because its the most compelling piece of evidence that ties kohberger to the scene of the murders. Janai and the defense may be trying to cast doubt on the reliability of that evidence, so what else could the prosecution use to bolster their case . The prosecution will have to use all other evidence, things like gps coordination, cell phone data. Theyd have to use everything else, but lets remember, juries like videos that show in person and they like dna evidence, because its objective evidence that puts someone in a specific time and place. Janai and you just mentioned gps coordinates, for instance. The defense has said that Bryan Kohberger had a habit of going for long drives and was doing that the night of the murders. How good of an alibi is that . The prosecution calling it vague. Reporter absolutely, janai. The purpose of an alibi is to place you in a specific time and place with someone who can corroborate that. Saying that youre going for a long drive does not give a specific alibi, so itll be very interesting to see how the judge accepts that, but its not a strong argument. Janai even the judge calling it a socalled alibi setting a september 8th deadline to provide an actual alibi with the witness. Also, channa, the defense also requested a stay for a second time which the judge denied. What was the attempted strategy there . The defense is trying to delay the trial, but what they have not done is waive their right to a speedy trial. They have the option of doing that, which will give them plenty of time to go through these discovery issues, but theyre trying to keep the prosecution under pressure while still getting additional time for the things they need. The judge is determined that that is not going to happen. The case is going forward, so if the defense wants additional time, they are going to have to waive speedy trial. Janai the judge saying clearly we are six weeks away from trial. Channa lloyd, thank you so much for being with us this morning to talk through it all. Gio . Gio such a fascinating case. Well see what happens. Janai it really is. Gio time for the weather. Somara theodore back there in jersey city. Hey, my friend. Somara hey, gio. You know, its pretty chilly in jersey city.

Gio welcome back to gma gio welcome back to gma and the big fears over a small earn secretary. Agriculture officials are raising the alarm over the invasive yellowlegged hornet. Take a look. This morning, urgent search and destroy operations under way to eradicate a new Invasive Species called the yellowlegged hornet, spied in the United States for the first time ever. Its been a serious problem for the beekeeping industry in france, and now, unfortunately, its made landfall in georgia. Reporter the yellowlegged hornet is native to southeast asia. Officials say they arent killers of honeybees, and experts fear they will wipe out honeybee colonies, which would devastate crops deeply affecting farming, georgias top industry. Honeybees are the most important managed pollinator that we have, and that makes fruits and vegetables from some of our most important healthful crops possible for ordinary americans, and thats really whats at stake here. Reporter honeybees are essential to agriculture. They pollenate over 100 types of fruits, nuts and vegetables, worth about 15 billion. In savannah, georgia, where the First Sighting took place, agricultural crews hard at work saying search and destroy missions will likely last through the fall, but they believe the hornets are somewhat contained. Theyre marking them, trapping them, following them, monitoring them and hoping to zero in on the nest, and hopefully if to remove it as quickly as possible. Gio and if you think these beasts look familiar, youre right. They are a cousin to the murder hornet, the Worlds Largest hornet species, which rose alarm in several western states, as they too target the honeybee population.

Will back now on gma, will back now on gma, theres nothing like the traditions of a baseball game in the summer, grabbing a hot dog, maybe a beverage of some kind, ice cream in a mini plastic helmet, waiting in super long lines to get in. But on that last point, change is on deck. Yeah. Change is on deck, and abcs jaclyn lee is in the ondeck circle right here. She will show us how facial recognition is changing how you get into the stadium. Reporter yes, its very cool. Good morning, guys. Great to be with you. In philadelphia, the phillies are rolling out this Pilot Program technology that uses facial recognition to allow you to completely skip the line. Now it starts on monday. Now, you can go to Citizens Bank park and you use something called mlb goahead entry lanes that uses that facial Recognition Software to just let you skip the lines. Now, if youre worried about privacy, mlb says no data is stored. It will be deleted immediately. While this is new in philadelphia, other mlb teams across the country have already used programs like clear to help fans get in, so here is how it works. Go to the app store, and download mlb goahead entry. You click register. Now, this will pop up. You click get started and attest you are 18 years of age or older, and once you do that, this is where you take that selfie, so, voila, you pull it up. Isnt that cool . Yes, so once you do that, the selfie will connect to this facial recognition camera that will be there at Citizens Bank park. You will go to the entry lane at the first base gate. That camera will be there. You literally just walk in, and the camera will connect you in realtime to that selfie, so then you dont have the ticket. So then you enter the ballpark, and then you dont really have to do anything. Its pretty cool, but its not required, so if you want to do it the oldfashioned line and wait in line, you can do that. Mlb wanted to streamline the process and gives fans an option if you wanted to do that. Will yeah, more time for the ice cream in the mini helmet. Janai never declined, a whole new meaning. Will thank you, jaclyn, its very cool. Go, yankees, though. Well be back with our play of the day. Type 2 diabetes . Discover the ozempic® trizone.
