This morning britains Prince Andrew is responding to sexual abuse allegations against Jeffrey Epstein for the First Time Since his longtime friend hanged himself in jail.

Unusual and the very fact the palace decided to release the statement at all just shows you how seriously theyre taking this situation. Heres why. It was in response to this video allegedly showing Prince Andrew waving goodbye to a young woman at epsteins manhattan mansion purportedly shot in 2010 and taken less than an hour after epstein left the house with another young woman. The prince even appears to check that no one was looking but cameras were, which has forced Buckingham Palace to state, his Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in, or encourage any such behavior is abhorrent. Abhorrent but the accusations go back to at least 2001 in this picture showing Prince Andrew with alleged victim virginia gufray who is only 15 at the time and the british socialite ghislain maxwell. She says maxwell acted as a madame passing her around to epsteins friends. It started with one and trickled to two and so on and before you know it im being lent out to politicians and academics and to people that royalty. Reporter unsealed Court Documents allege she was trafficked to Prince Andrew, a claim that was previously dismissed by a judge and struck from the record. The royal correspondent says the palace finally had too react. Ever since Jeffrey Epstein died there has been speculation about what further evidence could come out about the duke of york. With this statement the palace had to be pretty confident no further evidence is going to come forward further implicating the duke of york and his connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Reporter it is important to note this happened in 2010. This is two years after epstein was charged and found guilty of sex crimes. Critics say Prince Andrew should have cut off the relationship there and then. Anthony . All right. Charlie dagata in london. Thanks.

And she gave birth to triplets. Meet gypsy, nicki and blaze, two girls and one boy. She didnt know she was pregnant, when she gave birth at 34 weeks. Thats eight months. Her husband was shocked after initially being told there were only two babies. His reaction was like, excuse me . Put it back. We have plans, im not doing triplets. No. Theres three babies in here. Theres triplets. They already had two children. Their 10yearold son got a wish. Another baby brother. You dont see yourself getting bigger over 8 1 2 months . And normally, they move around. The other thing, you have a monthly visitor. She never felt movement. And never got morning sickness. I guess still had her monthly visitor. Those babies are four pounds apiece.

As you said, it happened here yesterday at this swim club near philadelphia. The heat, the humidity bubbling up in the eastern half of the United States.

According to the fbi, its these types of threats, they are not always reported in time. Suggesting that the Chinese Government handle those protesters in hong kong carefully.

This morning our road to 2020 series takes us back to iowa where more than twothirds of the democrats running for president are courting the native american vote this week. Ed okeefe is in sioux city, iowa, where they are cueing up for a forum. Ed, whats that going to be like . Reporter its focused ex clues lively on native american issues. They will quiz the candidates on issues of concern to native communities. Eight of the 23 president ial candidates will be here. The one to match is massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren. She faced back larn last year for releasing a dna test. Polls show she is now in second place here in iowa and voters in native american activists we have spoken to say that dna flap is much ado about nothing even though the president occasionally makes light of it. They say a slight increase in the turnout of 5. 2 million native americans across the country could help tip the scales in states like arizona, michigan, and north carolina. And while much of the focus from democratic president ial candidates these days is here in iowa and new hampshire, states with pro dominantly white voters, on friday several were at a forum in atlanta with black Church Leaders and four of them spent the weekend in south carolina, the early primary state, with the largest block of africanamerican voters. Gayle. Thank you very much. There is a new push to make sure that every eligible ballot is counted in 2020. Its led by Stacey Abrams, the 2018 democratic candidate. The election was marred by widespread reports of irregularities. Her new Organization Fair fight 2020 is working to ensure that all voters have access to the polls. The organization is brinng awareness and advocating for electioneformt all levels. Its engaging in targeted Voter Registration and other voter outreach programs. We are glad to say that Stacey Abrams joins us at the table this morning. Good to see you. Thank you for having me. Voter suppression seems very personal to you. When you look at what voters are interested and concerned about, its not on their list of top three, top five, top ten. What is it that you want people to know . How can we make people important . Why this is so Voter Suppression is the baseline that determines whether your voice is heard, whether the values and policies that you want come to fruition. The laws of the 1960s that forbade voting for of africanamericans. What were talking about is whether you can register and stay on the rolls, whether you can cast your ballot and whether your ballot is counted. We have to think about that because over the last 20 years we have seen numerous laws propagated that have eroded your ability to do those things especially if you are in a community of color or a skmunt seen as less valuable to the republican party. You say its no longer hoses . It isnt. Its no longer hoses in the streets . Its much more insidious. These laws look racially and facially neutral. You realize that, for example, in north dakota they passed a law saying you have to have a residential address on your drivers license. Most native americans dont have those because they live on reservations. Therefore, they disenfranchised thousands of native americans. We have to think about what the law does. What do you say to people who say voter i. D. Laws or exact match policies are protecting the election process . Voter fraud is a myth. It does not exist. People arent putting on fake mustaches trying to vote twice. Voter suppression is real. Voter i. D. Laws seem perfectly normal. If yiv in abama when they passed that law, they shut down twothirds ever the dmvs in black communities so the people who needed the i. D. S would not be able to get them. If you live in indiana where they move your polling place in Hamilton County outside of the bounds of the city, if you didnt have a car, you couldnt get to vote. You have to recognize these laws seem very basic, but the application and the implication is that your vote doesnt matter. Thats why fair fight 2020. Org is designed to go beyond registration. We focus on Voter Protection. Get you on the rolls, making sure you stay on the rolls, and making sure your ballot is cast and kourchted. You have said that elections are rigged, which is a word that President Trump has used. In using a word like rigged, its a frightening word. Does it contribute to a possible scenario where people on either side of an election outcome dont accept the results . There is a lot made of the fact that i didnt concede my election. Trump refuses to acknowledge the legal sufficiency or threatens not to. My point is that the laws are wrong. We have to fix the laws because as long as we have eligible american citizens who cannot cast a ballot, the game is rigged. In a democracy, you should be allowed make injury voiyour voi. If there are rules that should not exist, thats a problem for america. You mentioned not conceding the achair of the rnc. If Stacey Abrams cared about integrity of election she would concede the georgia governors race she lost by 55,000 votes. Instead she is on national tv today still thinking shes won. Why havent you conceded . Because that means to say that the process was fair. But when i run an organization that in ten days between Election Night and the night i refused to concede we received more than 50,000 phone calls of people who were denied the right to vote. I am complicit if i say that system is fair. I did not deny the legal sufficiency of the election. I am not claiming to be the governor of governor. What i said is that we won the battle of making sure more voices were heard because we had the highest record turnout in georgia for democrats. And your opponent was was in charge of the process. The other thing to remember, look, because there are more people in the water that doesnt mean there are fewer sharks. Yocan have higher turnout. That doesnt diminish the fact that Voter Suppression is real. You are not running for president. I am not. You would consider a Vice President al candidacy . I would honored to be considered. Has anyone reached out to . You. No. I talked to them been fighting Voter Suppression and georgia is a battleground state. Georgia has the highest percentage of africanamerican voters in the battleground state and we can help take the presidency. Would you and would you run with any of them . I would be honored to be considered for the vice presidency by the nominee. I want everyone to look at Voter Suppression. During the primary while our candidates are running for president i am going to be running to make sure we are putting Voter Protection teams in the 20 battleground states. Thank you for being us.

If you want to fix your broken smartphone without voiding its warranty, you could have a problem if you take it to an unauthorized repair shop. But several states are considering right to repair bills. And the federal trade commission is looking for public comment. Apple acknowledged it added a notification that if an iphone battery was put in by a third party, apple says it is to protect our customers from damaged, poor quality issues. Dan joins us. Good morning. Thats a confusing way to set this up. Its a technical issue. If you have a piece of electronics and it breaks, should people be able to take it anywhere for a lowcost fix. Take it anywhere, and the lowcost part, and the quality part. I know plenty of people who would not go to an apple store. They would go to a screen repair place or a friend who does that kind of thing. But theyre not getting the apple screen part. Same thing with batteries. Batteries are tougher because you cannot get the official apple battery. If your apple machinery breaks down and you take it to a repair shop, the repair shop will not get the parts to repair it . In some cases. But the battery. Youre getting a warning that says, we cant confirm this is a real battery. It is hiding the Battery Health info. And apple is making it hard to repair this. They want you to buy another iphone. One of the official repair people, who charge applelevel prices. What would this do for consumers . More than just saying, you can repair things without voiding your warranty. Thats generally true. It would require the company to provide the parts they need and the software and instruction and annu manuals that they hold as almost a trade secret. Is there a safety or a Security Risk if you go with a Third Party Provider . For batteries batteries get peoples ears perked up. And they go, okay, maybe that is a safety issue. If you have official batteries from apple to put in your local repair shop. And i interviewed people here in new york and theyre just trying to stay in business, that would be a safe thing to do. From apples point of view, its our product, we want to fix it and keep it. That sounds like a Good Business decision. Its not just apple. The prices of repairs and parts are just high enough that you consider buying a new one, that is baked into the business model. To make them nonreparable. Harder to repair, and they can charge a higher price. You get that line from the dealer. Its just as cheap to buy a new one. The batteries are sealed inside. Is that you might be able to repair your product, but you might not get top quality parts. If youre able to take it to a repair shop and get the official parts and people have training, i feel like youre in a better state than you are now where i have seen a lot of shady iphone repairs on the side and you end up with a janky looking screen. Both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders say there should be a federal right to repair law. Thank you for being here. Good luck getting your phone fixes next time.

Call it talk of the table. Why do we call it talk of the table . Because we each get to pick a story and share it with each other and all of you. I love it as well. Anthony goes first. I think i do. Theres new speculation that russia is trying to restrict evidence of an explosion at a missile test site this month. We reported it back just actually, it took a few days for it to come out because this is part of the problem. Tuesday after that explosion, two russian monitoring stations that monitor this kind of thing went oddly silent. The russians have blamed communication and network issues, but officials think the coincidence was a little too odd and think the russians were trying to conceal information. This was russia trying to conceal information . Shocking, isnt it . What are you talking about . But apparently, this was a test of an advanced nuke liar powered Cruise Missile that went wrong. Some call it a doomsday weapon. Radiation in the area spiked, but it took days for the story to get out. Saying not an evacuation in the town. A mere displacement. Tony, whats your story . The u. S. Customs and Border Protection in san diego made a bust recently of a shipment of jalapenos that turned out to not only be jalapenos. They werent . No, no, i have a feeling the jalapeno choice was meant to through off the canines who detected 7,500 pounds of marijuana in the palettes they were on. This is the second bust in a week in that location. 10,600 pounds of marijuana in a plastic auto parts shipment at the same port. Whats interesting to me is california is a Legal Marijuana state. For a long time, people who were advocates of marijuana were fighting the police and saying get out of our faces. Now theyre cheering the police along, because you want these busts to happen. Right. If you want the legal market to thrive. Dont want the market flooded. If i was going to hide my marijuana, i think i would hide it in jalapenos and not plastic auto parts. Many articles in the archives on this issue. They thought they were so clever, theyll never catch us, and there you go. Now youre on tv. All been done before. The time of year when your kids are getting ready to leave home for college. Time to say goodbye. A lot of times for the first time. So we have one emotional goodbye. Saw this over the weekend between a mom and son, posted on instagram. Heres a look. Dont mess it up. Come on. So he gets very emotional. He and mom have a very special hand shake. His name is daniel hutchinson. Her name is beth wagmeister. You can tell shes trying to give him a boost, cheer him up. This is what i like. I love this hand shake. I love this. Oh, wow. At one point on the tape, you can hear her say man up. Now some people are taking beth on, saying its okay to get emotional. Its okay to cry. And i didnt take it like that. That she was really chastising him. I didnt either. So leave beth alone. I love the interaction between the two because its a very difficult time. I think, for both the mother and son. When your kids go away for the first time, its an emotional thing. A major turning point. I like that they have a special handshake, and clearly, they have a very tight relationship. So congrats. Daniel, by the way, is going to ithaca college. Daniel, were cheering you on. Congrats to him. Way to go. In our series three meals, we travel to different states to break bread with voters and hear whats on their minds. This month, we went to the iowa state fair. A lot of people there, which wraps up over the weekend. It attracted more than a Million People to the States Capital of des moines, including more than a few president ial candidates. Ed okeefe has been going to the fair for more than a decade. You just heard him raving about the pork chops, pork chop sandwich. He joins us from sioux city, iowa. I always wanted one of those. What did you learn at the fair this time . Oh, gayle, we learned so much, including you shouldnt have more than one pork chop a day. Well get to that later. Voters in this rural state have the first crack at deciding who might take on President Trump next year, so we talked to fair goers about a wide range of issues from health care to the environment to gun control. And found out that even some supporters of the president are open to a change. A day at the fair begins early. Thousands who camp out over night go in search of breakfast. We visited hardenbrooks. Where we met democrats dennis and janet hampton, who have been coming to the fair sincethyigate married half a century ago. I have a lot of friends who are republicans. Theyre saying the same thing, we have to worth together now. Whoever democrats nominate, its got to be someone willing to work with republicans . Both hamptons are concerned about Climate Change and turned off by the president s approach to immigration. Were all immigrations. Bar none. Your state has a reputation of being nice. You see all this fighting that goes on in washington. I dont like it. Sit down and talk about it. Communication. Dont say republican, democrat. Keep your mouth shut. Yeah. Most eating at the fair happens on the go. This is going to be good. With more than 80 food Items Available on a stick. But the fair is also a display of iowas farming. And one of the most popular sites is the famous butter cow, attracting tens of thousands of people each day. About 85 of iowa tfs land is used for agriculture. It exports about 10 billion in output each year, but thats been on the decline because of the fight over trade and tariffs. Can i get a jumbo brisket. For lunch, we visited the rib shack, where we caught up with a farmer and her friend, jane ackerman. One thing i have heard said every time the president sends out one of those tweets about china or trade, a farmer is potentially losing thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yeah. Tens of thousands of dollars can be lost if youre looking out for the country, if youre looking out for the family farmer, we dont need to have controversy like that. It affects us. Small businesses, big time. They dont have a good year, theyre not going to be buying a 10,000 mower in the spring. Ackerman and her family sell golf carts and lawn mowers in eastern iowa. While business is good, theyre feeling the impact of the president s policies. Right now, were having huge problems getting parts to fix mowers. We cant fix it because we cant get the parts. And thats hard. Very hard. Gent, a democrat, likes former Vice President joe biden and massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, but shes keeping an open mind. Before the election, i want to see everybody that i am interested in. I am a registered republican. Okay. And im just ready for change. You voted for him four years ago . Yes, i did. And he hasnt delivered necessarily. I dont feel like he has. Amid the throngs of people who come to this fair every year, about two dozen people who want to be president. Were you here for any of the president ial candidates . You see any of them . I saw some, but i dont stop and listen to them. Are you participating in the caucus in february . Yeah. Have you picked a candidate yet . No. Any of the blue ones. From one food stand, we followed max and his girlfriend brett, Young Democrats who support medicare for all. You both have health care . Yeah. Through work . Yeah. Youre willing to part ways with that. Absolutely. Through my job, i still have a to,000 deductible. I would rather pay some in taxes up front and know that i can go to the doctor whenever i feel like i need to. She recently moved to des moines from dayton, ohio, and was shook by the recent mass shooting there. That was 15 minutes away from my house. Theres even a level of i will lie awake today and be like, ork, were going to the fair later. Something could happen here . Yeah, its really terrifying. Im fairly firmly pro gun control. At the end of the day, i think we have to try something, though, because doing nothing has just made it worse and worse and worse. Fun at the fair continues well after dark with rides, live music, and beer. We grabbed a drink at this craft beer tent where we met a voter President Trump will have to keep if he wants to keep iowa in november. I want somebody who is going to tell it like it is, and you may not like what he tells, but he tells it the way he sees it. One voter the president may need to win back, soybean farmer amy stout, who says she supports the administrations tariffs strategy. Hes rocking boats right now, trump is. And i dont know if its a bad thing. So im going to sit back and wait. Youre open to voting for a democrat even though youre a President Trump supporter . Absolutely. I want to see someone who changes what happens in our farm commute, our Small Business community, our health insurance. Boy, do i love coming to iowa. And not only important to come here because its an early primary state, but because its also a swing state in the general election. Barack obama won here in 2008 and 2012 before President Trump defeated Hillary Clinton here in 2016. So its an enticing target. For whoever the democrat is in a close election, those could tip the scales. Your trusted anchor team wants to take a field trip to iowa. I saw very few people of color. I think i saw a black guy in the background. You and i need to go to the fair together. Gayle, i will tell you this. We couldnt walk 50 yards through that fair without people saying they watch us every morning. If the four of us showed up, we would get mobbed. 80 food items on the stick did you try, ed . Only about three of them, anthony. Many elections still to cover. Bacon. Im game. Still recovering here. Thank you, ed okeefe. We appreciate it. Well be there soon, i hope.

Im take agkid back to college next week who is going to be clinging to summer, i know, with the tips of his fingernails. How do you get a kid to shift their focus . Good question. Well, first, i think we should say theres going to be a wide difference in study habits for say a second grader versus say a junior in college. Are you sure . So different strategies work in different stages i guess is my point. One thing i think does apply across all stages is an idea in the book that i talk about called habit stacking. You take whatever habits you currently do, so lets say for example, at the end of dinner, you one habit we have is we clean our plate and then put it in the dishwasher. You could stack the study habit on top. After you put your plate in the dishwasher, you immediately open your book on the table. Especially as you get into school again, youre really trying to build that routine. Whether its after dinner or as soon as you walk in from school or whatever, building a habit stack thats reliable and consistent is a good way to get started. Does environment matter . Of course. If you walk in, if you walk home and you open up the door and you kid sees a video game controller on the floor and the tv is on, thats an environment where its easy to be distracted. Versus walking in and like the table is clean, theres a space to put their books, the tv is behind the cabinet or a wall unit, the video game controller is tucked away. Thats an environment that much more prime for studying. I think thats one role parents can play, to try to prime the environment to make it easy to get into studying. In a small apartment, it can be difficult. We mentioned for every 15 minutes a kid is studying, for 5 minutes, hes probably distracted. How do you change that ratio . Thats a good question. A lot of times we get distracted because of phones. As students get older, they start to get their own phones and theyre creeping in and distracting. Some of that is personal, like digital habit hygiene, turning off notifications or putting it on silent. Theres a device called a kitchen safe. You can lock it, so you can program it to lock for like an hour. You could when you start the study session, put your phone in the tupperware, lock it, and set it aside. You were showing me your phone. I have never seen a hope screen like this. I dont know if you can see it, but the home screen of my phone doesnt have apps on the main screen. I just have the bar down here. If i want to get to the apps, theyre there. I can swipe over and theyre inside folders and what not. Just one step. When i wanted to build a reading habit, i put audible for audio books and pocket in the bottom. The first thing i saw were apps that prompted me to read. You can think about this for both a digital environment and physical. Youre trying to reduce the number of steps between you and the productive behaviors and increase the number of steps between you and the should you ever incentivize kids, even pay them to do their homework . You know, external rewards sometimes get criticized. You dont want to pay them and they only get good grades because theyre getting paid to to it. But the truth is we use external rewards all the time. Like you get paid every two weeks for your job, and thats an external reward that helps to get you to show up. The key is you want to reward the process and not the outcome. Theres two very Different Things between saying hey, youre rewarded for studying vocab every night or doing flash cards versus youre rewarded for getting a good grade on a test. When the question was phrased should they get paid for doing your homework, i didnt like it, but paid for getting an a thats not so bad. Youre trying to build an identity of being a lifelong learner, someone who is curious, who takes responsibility for their studying and learning. If you can say we really care about this in this household, being a lifelong learner is the most important thing, and in fact, we care about it so much that were going to reward for it, the signal you should get when you get paid to study or paid to get a good grade is not that you should only study when you get paid. Its that were reenforcing being a lifelong learner. All these habits can work for parents, too. All these can work for parents, too. Youre going to tell us how to focus and succeed. I hope i was able to help. I want to know how to succeed. One sentence. You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems. Success isnt about the goal, but the system that you follow. Say hello to your lovely wife. Thank you.
