Trying to come up with some sort of safe corridor to get them out. But as i mentioned now, as the days pass, growing fear all of these families waiting for word on their loved ones, whether or not theyll come home alive. It is a growing fear. Last night we watched your 20 20 special, david. Appreciate your reporting this morning here on gma. Please give our best to all the crews that are there and their reporting. Thank you. Linsey . Now to gaza, where Israeli Forces say they launched an extensive attack on hamas centers overnight as the destruction and death toll there grows. Our Foreign Correspondent James Longman has the latest and joins us now. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, linsey. The situation in gaza is getting increasingly desperate. More than 1,300 now dead in relentless bombardment. There are Vulnerable Women and children inside gaza. The idf says that hamas has now lost control of certain parts of the gaza strip. Apocalyptic scenes in gaza as entire neighborhoods destroyed by israeli bombs. This man in gaza saying theyve killed our children and killed us. We dont know where to go. Now more than 1,300 People Killed in gaza, 6,000 injured. The Health Ministry said most hurt are women an children. Young patients rushed in by car, ambulance, families desperate to get help, hospitals overwhelmed as officials warn they are now working at full capacity and there is no place for the wounded from israeli air strikes to be treated. The Palestinian Health system has less than a week before it collapses. All supplies are running short. Reporter the bombardment comes in the wake of hamas militants unprecedented terror attack that killed more than 1,200 israelis with dozens more abducted. The government declaring war, promising to destroy hamas military capabilities. Every minute and every second we lose friends, our loved, members of our family. Reporter gaza is under total siege. Nothing is going in. No food, no fuel, no water. But israel is building up its military force and in the coming days these may roll over the border. More than 2 million palestinians who live there are desperate to find safety. Around 330,000 of them sheltering in u. N. Facilities across gaza as the Biden Administration says theyre discussing plans with israel and egypt to find a way to get humanitarian aid in and civilians out. We support safe passage for civilians. Civilians are not to blame for what hamas has done. They did not do anything wrong and we continue to support safe passage. Reporter egyptian Officials Say they rejected plans to provide passage for refugees into their country. The United Nations says there is a looming water crisis. Infrastructure is badly damaged. Because theres no electricity, water pumps just cant function. Rebecca . All right, James Longman. Thank you. We appreciate it. Israel is also facing a threat from the north. Tens of thousands of troops have been dispatched to the border near lebanon, where another group, hezbollah, with eyes on israels destruction is based. Mola lenghi is live in lebanon. Good morning, mola. Reporter well, good morning, rebecca. There are concerns that this fighting will ultimately spill over israels border embroiling more countries in the conflict. As you mentioned, israel has deployed tens of thousands of troops to its northern border with lebanon where hezbollah, the iranian backed military group in lebanon, has threatened to attack. A scenario that would leave israel fighting a war on two fronts. There have already been some clashes along the border this week. Hezbollah, which the u. S. Has designated a terror organization, and Israeli Defense forces exchanging missile fire across the border. Hezbollah taking aim at israeli positions and the idf shelling southern lebanese towns, sparking memories of that brutal month long war between israel and hezbollah back in 2006. But up to this point, rebecca, this weeks events have really been localized and isolated. Mola, thats why hezbollah is in many ways an bigger threat to israel. Reporter thats right, rebecca. Hezbollah, they are more powerful, better equipped, better funded. As we mentioned, ultimately they are backed by iran. The u. S. Has responded by deploying an Aircraft Carrier to the region, the uss ford is currently positioned in the mediterranean with the goal of deterring hezbollah an by proxy iran for escalating or broadening this conflict in any way. Hezbollah saying they consider the u. S. A full partner in this zionist aggression and sending Aircraft Carriers to the region will not frighten the peoples of our nation or the factions. Rebecca, its hard to overstate just how volatile this Current Situation is right now. And we appreciate your reporting on all of it. Mola, thank you. Robin . On the heels of what mola was saying, President Biden delivered a warning to iran as the u. S. Makes the show of force in the region. Our chief White House Correspondent mary bruce has the latest, including secretary of state blinken meeting with Prime Minister netanyahu. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, robin. And this visit by the secretary of state is meant to show americas unwavering support for israel. Secretary blinken arriving in tel aviv, meeting, sitting down with Prime Minister netanyahu. Blinken sharing the grim news that the american death toll has now risen to 25. Blinken said the u. S. Will do everything it can to help israel defend itself. Israelis are asking for more weapons missiles to help restock its iron dome defense system. The secretary is also expected to bring up the administrations concerns about the humanitarian crisis in gaza, as the u. S. Is trying to negotiate a safe passage corridor so that civilians can get out. Blinken all warning those who may try to take advantage of this crisis, dont. That is a clear warning to iran, as the u. S. Is trying to prevent this from becoming a wider war. Iran has supported and helped fund and arm and train hamas for decades. The u. S. Has said they are complicit in this, even though so far there is no clear intelligence to suggest iran was directly involved in this attack. A hamas official overnight saying they didnt inform iran of this until 30 minutes after the attack began, an assault that hamas now says they were planning for two years, linsey. Hard to believe it went undetected for two years. Mary bruce, our thanks to you. Lets turn to the latest on strikes across this country. Talks have been suspended in the actors strike. Plus there was a surprise move from thousands of autoworkers overnight. Andrew dymburt is tracking it. Good morning, andrew. Reporter good morning, linsey. Thousands of autoworkers walked off the job at one of fords most profitable truck plants. Its a major escalation in the autoworkers strike against big three automakers. It is part of the auto union and big three car makers. This plant makes trucks an suvs and employs around 8,700uaw members. The walkout catching ford by surprise. It is fords largest and brings in about 25 billion in revenue a year. The union cites lack of progress in contract talks as a reason for the latest walkout. Ford says the decision by uaw to strike at its kentucky truck plant without warning is, quote, grossly irresponsible. Uaw has been on strike against ford, stellantis and gm for about a month now. Linsey . Andrew, what can you tell us about the latest, as far as negotiations between actors and studios . Reporter those talks are said to have completely broken down. Both sides remain far apart, that being studio and the 160,000 members of the sag aftra guild. Guys . Andrew, thank you very much. Coming up, we have the search for the speaker of the house.

We turn to the trial of sam bankman fried, the governments star witness, his exgirlfriend and Business Partner, is due back on the stand to face off with the defense today. Senior investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky has been in the courtroom and has the latest now. Good morning, aaron. Reporter rebecca, good morning. As you well know, sam bankman fried wanted ftx to be known as the exciting, innovative and safe place to trade. His exgirlfriend said it was anything but, because bankmanfried didnt believe basic rules applied to him. This morning the defense will crossexamine the governments star witness after she told the jury she helped Sam Bankmanfried plunder billions. Caroline ellison who has pleaded guilty to fraud and conspiracy, told the jury the whole time we were dating he was also my boss at work, which created some awkward situations, like doing things she said she knew to be wrong because sam told me to. Caroline is a very important witness for the state because she was privy to a lot of inside information that the state wants to show that mr. Bankmanfried falsified, and that he was aware of what was happening. Reporter ellison said bankmanfried directed her and a small circle of trusted advisers to be careful what we put in writing, to communicate with disappearing messages and not put things in writing that might get us in legal trouble. She all said bankmanfried instructed her to take billions from one of his companies to fund the other, saying alameda was borrowing around 10 billion of ftx customer funds that we had no way to repay. Prosecutors say bankmanfried wanted the money to off set losses, buy real estate and make political donations. Days before his arrest bankmanfried said he knew nothing about it. Shes in court. Youre in court. Shes under oath. Youre under oath and youre asked did you know these funds were being funneled to alameda. What is your answer . I did not know there was any improper use of customer funds. Reporter ellison said he did know but lived by his own moral code and didnt think rules like dont lie or dont steal fit into that framework. As ftx neared collapse last fall, ellisson said she lived in a state of dread, terrified the truth would come out. After the bankruptcy she said, through tears, she felt a sense of relief that i didnt have to lie any more. Defense attorneys will try to pin the blame on ellison. Theyve already suggested some of her testimony is spin and they said Sam Bankmanfried acted in good faith. Guys . We know we will be hearing from more exfriends with those explosive claims.

Secretary of state blinken arriving in israel meeting with Prime Minister netanyahu. Israel is ramping up air strikes in gaza as its forces prepare for a possible ground invasion. Lets go back to James Longman who is live there in tel aviv. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, robin.

Overnight explosions shaking gaza as israeli air strikes pound the city for the sixth day.

Officials are weighing the damage they feel tik tok is inflicting on young people and in some states, taking legal action. This morning tik tok under fire. You are human, weirdness and chaos and hope. Reporter utah suing the popular social media app for a litany of alleged offenses. The state claiming tik tok lures kids into hours of use, isnt as safe and secure as it claims to be and is far more intertwined with china than it says it is. We will not stand by while these Companies Fail to take adequate meaningful action to protect our children. Reporter utah now joining indiana and arkansas as states to sue tik tok on claims of potential user harm. Montana has already banned the app. Senate bill 419 has passed the house. Bill has passed the house. Montana approached it simply from a data mining viewpoint saying that Chinese Communist party is attempting to gather personal information about americans. What utah has done, theyve gone deeper in their lawsuit saying they have exposed children to risks. So its a different approach. Reporter in its complaint, utah says over 1 4 of its residents are under 18 and draws a correlation between tik toks meteoric rise and trends in the state, citing record levels of depression in middle and high schoolers. Tik tok responding to the suit with a statement saying the app has industry leading safe guards and that they will continue to work to keep their communities safe by tackling industry wide challenges.

This high stakes Inflation Report shows that prices are still subbornly high for everything from groceries to rent. The Consumer Price index increased 3. 7 in september compared to a year ago. That would be a slight improvement from the rate we saw in august. Good news, gas prices have been dropping. Aaa says the National Average sits at 3. 64. Thats down about 0. 19 in the past month. Used car prices are also expected to decline. Not so good news, analysts say prices for rent and other Services Like rent, hotels, air fare, Car Insurance increased last month. Overall inflation has been cooling from its peak. Thats what the Federal Reserve wants to see as it considers additional Interest Rate hikes. But prices are still high compared on a historical basis. Typical American House hold right now is paying an extra 700 every month for the same goods and services they were two years ago simply because of inflation. Rebecca . Thats a big difference, elizabeth, even though prices are going up more slowly than they were a year ago. Thank for your reporting.

Back now with our gma cover story. A possible new use for ozempic in treating kidney failure in patients with diabetes. The trial is demonstrating positive preliminary results. Our medical correspondent dr. Darien sutton is here to break it down. Good morning, darien. Often we hear about trials and mostly not positive results but it is the opposite in this case. Whats important to understand when you have a study like this, yes, trials do end early because of harmful results. As you do a clinical trial, that incoming information and data is under constant review by usually a data monitoring service. The main goal is to ensure safety to the patients. Sometimes trials are stopped early if there are harms deemed to be possible or, as in this case, when theres a clear benefit. So they saw semaglutide, the active ingredients in ozempic, delayed the progression of Kidney Disease and helped reduce the risk of death secondary to kidney or heart disease. Now, there are some caveats. We dont have the full data set, so we still need to interpret that. We know diabetes and obesity are key risk factors in the progression of Kidney Disease. The question now, is this a direct result of that active ingredient or the benefits of what we know to be true . Theres still more steps to go. So what do you do if youre concerned about Kidney Disease . Kidney disease such an important topic to discussion. Here are some important numbers. More than 30 million americans are living with Kidney Disease. That accounts for one in seven adults. Disproportionately affects black americans. One in three americans living with Kidney Disease are black. There are treatments such as oral medications and in severe medications dialysis and transplant are an option. The most important thing is controlling the conditions that worsen it, Blood Pressure, diabetes, make sure you stop smoking. This isnt the only trial where there could be some new uses. Im following these very closely. We are studying this medication with certain addiction disorders, alcohol, smoking, other substances. I am hopeful well start to see some positive benefits. Right now theres nine on going study, so hopefully ill be back with more information. Hopefully youll be back. Well see you on gma3. Now to raising awareness about breast canner with our series together in pink. This morning were talking about detection. Sometimes the signs are not what you might expect. Erielle reshef has the story of two women who didnt find out about their interest cancer the typical way. Reporter 27yearold olivia noticed inflammation while breastfeeding her newborn, so she went to her doctor. They said it looks like mascitis. Everythings fine. Sent me home with antibiotics. Reporter after a week, olivia knew Something Else was wrong. My breast almost doubled in size. It was very red, very swollen. I started noticing some discharge from my nipple. Reporter she went back for ultrasound and biopsy, where they determined it was stage 4 inflammatory Breast Cancer an aggressive Breast Cancer that doesnt always present with a lump. It had spread to my bones. I thought, im going to leave a brand new baby with no mom. Then my very next thought was, thats not an option. He needs his mom and im gonna do whatever it takes to keep myself here for him. Reporter active and healthy, meadow bailey never missed a yearly mammogram. But after celebrating her 49th birthday, she got called in for a followup. I thought not a big deal. The raidologist was looking with an ultrasound and she said, i have got some area of concern here. I said are you talking like cancer . And she said, yeah, i am. Reporter meadow was diagnosed with stage 1 Breast Cancer, a cancer that typically spreads and grows without ever forming a distinct lump. I never felt a lump. I also felt really good. So it really caught me off guard. Reporter both inflammatory Breast Cancer and lovular breast le cancer are subtypes that typically present with unique symptoms like inflammation, changes in skin collar, discharge from the nipple or dimpling. One of the biggest misconceptions about Breast Cancer is that it only presents as a lump. In fact, one in six females diagnosed with Breast Cancer did not have a lump after diagnosis. Reporter in 2022, approximately 40,000 women in the u. S. Faced a Breast Cancer diagnosis, inflammatory Breast Cancer is rare and accounts for only 1 to 5 of all Breast Cancers. Both olivia and meadow receiving specialized treatments and break through care at md anderson care center in houston texas. They said stage iv is not a death sentence. Reporter olivia now going on three years cancerfree. We call it survivorship. Reporter meadow, one year out, feeling lucky. I feel like i am getting amazing care. I am so appreciative of that. Reporter it is good to see they are thriving. Olivia is now urging women to Pay Attention to your body and advocate for yourself.

Com welcome back to gma live from times square. Its that time. The grand finale of our hispanic heritage month celebration. Early this morning we surprised six beautiful, deserving girls. Told them gma was throwing them their very own quinceanera. They have been getting ready for the last hour. Theyre almost ready for the big reveal to their families. First lets hear from gio. I just love this. Quinceanera is a pillar of hispanic culture. The longstanding tradition is a rite of passage for latinas as they step into adulthood. And the teens you are about to meet, they come from an Incredible Organization called hey there beautiful, that gives young women the tools they need to make their dreams come true as they approach womanhood. Take a look. What are you lookin period. Thank you. Reporter known by her girls as miss d, she has been pouring love and support into others since she founded the organization in 2015. I always thought to myself that i would be the person that i needed when i have younger for them. My vision is beautiful. Reporter hey there beautiful striving to instill qualities of confidence, leadership and trust to girls from the new york city area. She gave me that voice to speak for myself. And makes me not insecure any more. Reporter while the Foundation Works with girls of all ages and background, the young latinas of one particular age group are approaching a very special occasion. A quinceanera, the celebration of a girls 15th birthday. Its a rite of passage for latinas being welcomed to womanhood. But throwing the grand celebration is not always feasible. Its a big process to have a quinceanera. It is a long and expensive process. I went around 13 or 14 years old that i wanted a quinceanera but that would be too much money and that stuff. I feel like thats a pretty big thing in my culture an im being left out. Reporter from the venue to the marvelous dress, on average quinceaneras can cost anywhere from 5,000 to 20,000. And this morning, gma is hoping to make that dream a reality. These girls deserve it. I think because they know that they deserve it and that they matter, they want to hold their heads high. Yes, they do. Now it is time to meet these incredible girls and see how gorgeous they look for their very special day. Well introduce each one of them to you. They will be joined by their family members on set with us. Gio, please do the honors. Listen, wait til you see them, robin. First up, lets bring out angelese. There she is.
