and good morning, everyone. it seems like every, single night we get brand-new details on the compound. we want to show you the first photos. we want to warn you some of them are quite graphic. it turns out the firefight was a lot less intense than first described. and also this morning, the pakistanis may blow up the bin laden compound. they don't want it to be any kind of a shrine. people are asking, the pictures, when are we going to see the pictures. the white house releasing news they are not going to release the photos, which is stirring up a lot of controversy. jake tapper has more on that. and he joins us from ground zero where the president will be later today. good morning, jake. >> reporter: good morning, robin. that's right. president obama will be here later today. he will lay a wreath at the survivors tree, which is a pear tree that survived the 9/11 attack. and he will also nearby meet with families of the victims of 9/11. this is to be a solemn affair, despite the riveting details that are coming to the front line as navy s.e.a.l.s are debriefed from the daring operation on sunday. photographs, distributed by reuters, are making their way around the world. incendiary and shocking. they were taken after the navy s.e.a.l.s left with bin laden's body. so, none are of the al qaeda leader. we have learned new information from the front lines as more s.e.a.l.s have been debriefed. despite previous accounts, we're now told the s.e.a.l.s were shot at by only one man in bin laden's compound. once they killed the courier on the first floor, no more gunfire came from those in the compound. occupying much of president obama's time, worried that releasing the bin laden's images would stir anti-american sentiment. he will not release the photos, as he told cbs' "60 minutes." st. louis it is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence, as a propaganda tool. that's not who we are. >> reporter: many u.s. troops, including private mario rogers, agree with the decision. >> i think it probably would make us look worse, myself. >> reporter: but disagreement was voiced by sarah palin who tweeted, show photo, as warning to others seeking america's destruction. no pusy footing around. it's part of the mission. and also the former mayor of new york, rudy giuliani, who believes the secret pictures of bin laden will eventually be leaked to the public. >> you just relive the intensity of all this a month from now, two months from now, three months from now. why not put them out now? >> reporter: the president will visit ground zero today and will see major progress at the work site since his last visit more than two years ago. some 9/11 victims' families disagree with his decision, including lisa riena, whose husband, joe, was in the world trade center that horrible september morning. >> i would love to be in the room when he was shot in the head twice. we want to see him dead. he took away a part of our lives that we're never going to get back. and i think it's important for the family members to see a picture of him dead. >> reporter: more details coming from the debriefings of the navy s.e.a.l.s include the fact that three ak-47s and two pistols were recovered from the compound. including from bin laden's room. and also the navy s.e.a.l.s came across a false door, a door that had been bricked off, putting them on a heightened state of alert. let's bring in martha raddatz right now. jake just mentioned the details coming in from the navy s.e.a.l.s. you have more. we know they landed at andrews air force base. but beyond that, we don't know much more. they're secret again. >> reporter: they sure are. the s.e.a.l.s giving the most detailed account yet, george. and clearly, they were doing almost all of the shooting. there is no question, it was a dangerous and uncertain mission. but not as first described by u.s. officials. >> there was a firefight. it was a highly-volatile firefight. >> it was a firefight, going up that compound. >> reporter: we now know from the s.e.a.l.s themselves, the firefight ended on the first floor. while the s.e.a.l.s were working their way through the house, after sporadic gunfire, they were connected to one another by a network of radios, monitored in afghanistan by admiral william mcraven. as the team moved floor-to-floor, mcraven could hear them shout clear, clear, when each room was deemed safe. when the helicopters lifted off with the body of bin laden, his 29-year-old wife, shot in the leg trying to protect her husband, was intentionally left behind with her three children, including a 13-year-old daughter, who the pakistani security forces say watched her father killed in front of her eyes. now, both are cooperating with the pakistanis, who are refusing to let u.s. investigators see them. specifically, the u.s. wants to know who visited the compound? where the family had lived before, and the whereabouts of bin laden's right hand man, amman al zawahiri. it was the wife who helped confirm her husband's identity. the s.e.a.l.s has forgot a tape measure to measure the tall al qaeda leader. instead, one of the s.e.a.l.s laid down beside the corpse. u.s. officials will be checking the treasure trove of intelligence for evidence to see whether that occurred. hundreds of thumb drives, computers and cell phones were taken from the compound. the first priority, seeing if any attacks were being planned because authorities still believe that bin laden was giving strategic guidance to al qaeda. george? st. louis >> we see the revisions of the story. first, that osama bin laden was shooting himself. or resisting. he was not shooting. now, you just reported, only one of the bodyguards was engaged in the firefight. bottom line, this was still a compound that they didn't know -- it could have been filled with bombs for all they knew. >> reporter: they had no idea, george. and just remember, it was dark. it was chaotic. when those s.e.a.l.s went in there, they knew they were after the most wanted terrorist in the world. when they go through these rooms, they do it methodically. they want to be sure they are safe. they killed one bodyguard in the beginning, the courier. not really a bodyguard. but four of the people who died were unarmed. again, there were guns throughout that compound, including in the room where bin laden was shot. >> an ak-47 in the room where bin laden was shot. >> reporter: yes. >> martha raddatz, thanks very much. there's also fresh details coming in overnight about the compound where bin laden hid for five or six years. nick schifrin who first brought us that exclusive, is back there again with the latest. good morning, nick. >> reporter: good morning, robin. today, pakistan is considering blowing up the compound behind me, what has become one of the world's most notorious hideouts. pakistan is worried that this compound could become a shrine, and has no intention of letting that happen. today, the government here dramatically increased its criticism of the u.s., mocking claims that it alone was responsible for not capturing bin laden. st. louis i shouldn't be saying it, but nonetheless, can you think of a nato member bombing another nato member country. i'm not saying whether it was legal or illegal. it is for the historians to judge. >> reporter: this compound is no cave. security here, relatively high. the razor wire was electrified. the house had multiple cameras. there was a satellite dish, which possibly could mean bin laden could watch tv. the people inside the compound lived modestly. as indicated by where they shopped. the local minimal baker, the bodega next door, and the chicken guy next to that. almost every room had been ransacked. but there were only a couple of bullet holes in the walls, indicating there was not a major firefight here. and today, pakistani officials are going through all of that information and evidence they collected from inside the compound. and they are still rounding up some people who are close to those critical bin laden couriers. george? >> nick, thanks. st. louis we have we have a high-stakes twist on the raid to the compound. abc news has learned that the s.e.a.l.s that carried out the mission were using a top-secret weapon. brian ross has more. it is almost stealth. >> reporter: the last act of the navy s.e.a.l. team before they left the compound, was to blow up the damaged helicopter that had to be left behind. and now, we know why that was so important. the fire was meant to destroy the evidence, one of the u.s. military's most closely guarded secrets. a stealth helicopter. >> for the s.e.a.l.s to go in and not be detected by pakistani radar, the stealth helicopter was essential. >> reporter: but several large pieces of the u.s. chopper remain. and aviation analysts say, they provide the first, real evidence of a stealth blackhawk helicopter, whose existence had only been rumored. >> this is the first time that we've seen operational stealth helicopter. >> reporter: analysts quickly saw several key modifications to the standard blackhawk helicopter. >> one thing that stands out, they have a little disc over the rotors that is designed to baffle the sound and deny radar signature. >> reporter: neighbors in abbottabad said they did not hear the helicopters until they were directly overhead. this is what a standard helicopter sounds like. this is the sound of an earlier experimental version of a stealth helicopter. >> it would be a vague sound. it might be the sound of a helicopter that was going in the opposite direction. >> reporter: one key to the stealth nature, is the secret, heavily-coated, fabric-like material, that children were seen collecting. >> there are probably people in the pentagon tonight who are very concerned that pieces of the helicopter may be even now on their way to china, because we know china is trying to make stealth aircraft. >> reporter: the chinese military has a close relationship with pakistan. and the remaining, large pieces of the secret u.s. helicopter, some hidden under a tarp, were trucked away by pakistani officials to an unknown destination. residents there also told abc news that just before the helicopters arrived, all electricity and cell phone service was knocked out, then came back right after the choppers left. the pentagon has no comment on these reports. >> maybe used some kind of electromagnetic pulse. >> reporter: could have been a cyber attack organized by the u.s. against this town. >> you talk about the prospect that the pieces could go to china. what could they learn from the pieces that had been blown up? >> reporter: it's a key fabric. how they do it, shape it, contour it. that would be very important to help the chinese who have developed a stealth airplane now develop a stealth helicopter. this is a key thing in a battle. and for al qaeda to know they are able to come in. frankly, it was surprising to me that you could hear the sound and you think it's going away from you as opposed to coming to you. >> didn't sound like a helicopter. sounded more like a lawn mower. >> right. that's what they do. and josh elliott is here. we're going to turn to news back home. one of the stories, the floods. >> disaster in america's heartland. president obama has declared an emergency this morning in parts of kentucky, tennessee and mississippi. bracing for what could be record flooding. thousands of people are heading to higher ground, though floodwaters have made roads impassable. part of i-40, connecting little rock to memphis was closed. and crops are under water in kentucky. sam has the complete forecast in just a moment. and look at this. the army corps of engineers blowing more sections of levee along the swelling mississippi river in missouri and illinois, hoping to ease flooding upstream. and so save more homes. the resulting dust clouds can be seen for miles. and a big development from japan this morning. we're getting these new images from inside that nuclear reactor building at the fukushima plant. you can see the camera there mounted on a robot. workers just entered the building for the first time since the tsunami crippled the plant back in march. they're installing air vents. but working only ten minutes at a time because of the radiation levels. and a frightening scene in oregon. a train derailed and crashed into a parked train that was carrying ethanol, igniting fire that forced people in a half-mile radius to evacuate. that fire has now been put out. thankfully, no one was hurt. and a passing to note from hollywood. former child star, jackie cooper, has died. at age 9, he became the youngest actor ever nominated for an oscar. of course, those of a certain vintage. also a major character in the "our gang" comedies. later, audiences would know him from the christopher reeve "superman" film. cooper also an award-winning director. jackie cooper was 88 years old. and finally, a routine trip to the dentist has had some exotic consequences for one woman. karen butler of oregon went for some oral surgery about a year and a half ago. she came home with a foreign accent. listen here to a voicemail recording from before her surgery. >> sorry i can't come to the phone at the moment. just leave me a message and your phone number and i'll get back to you. thank you. >> now, listen to her accent. >> you open up your mouth and someone said, where are you from? where did you get that accent? i got it from my dentist in toledo. >> this may sound familiar to you. shockingly, technically, it's called foreign accent syndrome. over the last decade, "gma" has introduced you to three other people who suffer from this. 60 known cases in the world. 60 known cases. in fact, there is a literal speaking in tongues for some of those who suffer. they come home speaking words from languages they never learned. i don't know. i just -- i'm not a doctor. and i don't play one on tv. i don't know. >> i don't buy it. >> i'll bet you were speaking a lot of french after the lakers lost last night. >> and this continues. it continues. >> down two, baby. >> it's going to be a long day. now, for the weather -- taking it like a champ. let's get to sam champion in philadelphia this morning. sam? >> good morning, robin, george, josh. good morning, everyone. we are in philadelphia. we'll talk about that later on this morning. let's get right to that flooding because we got more and more water pouring into the rivers, finally, as all the rain drains in. flooding, record or near-record in eight states. the mississippi river will set records from the 1927, 1937 flood. now, even memphis has raised the level up to about 48 feet by the time we get towards the weekend. they haven't seen levels like that since the great depression. yeah. that's going to continue into this weekend. we'll get in all of america's weather in the next half hour. robin? >> all right, sam. thank you very much. we'll get back to you in philadelphia in a moment. look at this. gas prices over $6. zoom in. that's from a station in hawaii today. gas prices reaching all-time highs, in fact, in five states. it's not just costing more to fill up your car. everything seems to be getting more expensive. and our jeremy hubbard has been looking into this. good morning, jeremy. >> reporter: that's right, robin. good morning. everything from furniture to flip-flops are on the rise. we've been obsessing over the high prices at the gas pump, we find out that this is just part of what's hurting our wallet. of course, you've been feeling pain at the pump. but now, price creep has arrived, doing serious damage to the cost of everyday items. that morning cup of joe, coffee beans up 27% since december. want to relax in that recliner? furniture at ethan allen and la-z-boy up 7%. planning to take the kids to the beach? two pairs of flip-flops that once cost $5 cost $1 more. and while flip-flops aren't a necessity. manufacturers know kids need diapers and wipes. parents can expect to pay up to 7% more in the coming months. it's not just gas to blame for higher prices. severe weather has damaged crops. even last week's tornadoes wiped out one-fourth of alabama's poultry production. all of it has created a perfect storm, leaving manufacturers with a dilemma. raise prices or reduce portions. and reducing portions is what they're doing. >> you drink bottled water, right? look at the difference. this is three liters. that's one gallon. >> reporter: i would assume this is a gallon. looks bigger than a traditional gallon. >> absolutely. look at one of the reasons why. look at that big indentation on the bottom. >> reporter: it has a false bottom. >> reporter: these camouflaging techniques are the same all around the store. from coffee, to cereal, to ice cream. >> 16 ounces last time i looked was a pint. now, look at that one. and what's that weight there? >> reporter: 14 fluid ounces. this one is two ounces smaller than that one. >> two ounces smaller. but the same pint-sized container. >> reporter: the companies aren't out to deceive us. but the rising costs have to trickle down to consumers somehow. there is one possible way to look at it. if they're selling you less food, maybe your waistline will shrink as much as your savings account is. gas prices are expected to level off, maybe even drop, a month or so from now. we'll have a little more money to spend on the expensive flip-flops. robin and george? >> jeremy, thanks a lot. >> let's hope that's true. and coming up, phoebe prince's mom takes on the kids she says pushed her daughter to her breaking point. we're going to take you inside that emotional courtroom showdown. and second time around. why marie osmond is heading down the aisle with her we went around the country asking women to speak frankly about something no one wants to talk about. it's time to get real about what happens in the bathroom. stop all the cutesy stuff. and start talking about what you really want from your toilet paper. it's time to talk about clean. feeling clean is so important. vo: quilted northern soft & strong is stronger than the leading rippled brand to help protect against breakthrough. for myself, for my family, it keeps us clean. i use quilted northern. quilted northern soft & strong. protection for a confident clean or your money back. ranks quicken loans "highest in customer satisfaction in the united states." and if we're this happy about providing great customer satisfaction, imagine how happy you'll be receiving it. one more way quicken loans is engineered to amaze. so i'm taking charge with claritin-d. it relieves even my worst allergy symptoms. nothing works stronger, faster or longer for nasal congestion and sinus pressure without drowsiness. i only live claritin clear, with claritin-d. i buy plants, i bring them home, and then...i water too little... too much... or i just forget. but look. this is doing fine. why?

>> thanks very much. we have dan abrams in the studio right now. there seems to be a mismatch here. the kids were charged with felony, which should have been jail time. but they pleaded guilty to misdemeanors, no jail time. did the prosecutors get what they wanted? >> i think in the end they did. i know it's hard to believe. but this was considered a very aggressive prosecution from the beginning, to go for felonies. people say wait a second? someone died here and you're telling me it's a long shot to go for felonies? the answer is, it was definitely aggressive based on the specific crimes that they were alleged to have committed here. >> civil rights violations. >> they basically went through the law books to say what might we charge them with for the various things that happened to this poor girl leading up to the days before her death? >> because they wanted to send a message. >> i think in part because they wanted to send a message and part because this was so egregious. we use the word bullying. that can mean committing crimes. that doesn't mean that it's not criminal, the facts that are committed. >> they risk undercutting their message by accepting a much less severe deal? >> they do. but as a legal matter, some of the crimes might have been hard to prove. there was going to be a very aggressive defense here, put on, effectively putting the girl on trial to some degree about her psychological, emotional state. don't blame us. she had long-term problems. the family did not want to go through that in the context of a trial. >> that's a key point here. one of the factors here is that phoebe's mother approved these deals. >> and remember, you don't need the parents' signoff. in a case like this, it is the prosecution, the state versus the defendants. the family does not get to make that decision as a legal matter. with that said, as a practical matter, i can assure you they wanted those parents to say, okay. we're okay with this. >> that family would have had to go through the trial. >> oh, yeah. and i think that the prosecutors in a case like this work very closely with the parents to figure out exactly what they're comfortable with, what they're not. what do they want to do here? so, when you asked before what led to the reduction in the charges, my guess is, in large part, it was the parents saying, you know what? we don't want a trial. we want this to go away. >> when the three, younger kids go to court, you expect a similar deal? >> expect a similar deal. again, misdemeanors. for some of them -- for some of the juveniles, this may not go on their record. i know there's going to be a lot of people who say that seems completely unfair, considering what happened to her. but as a legal matter, when this started, the felonies were considered very aggressive. >> and to see the pain on that mom's face and hear it in her voice, you can understand why she just wants this to end. >> absolutely. you can still say a message has been sent. this community has heard it loud and clear. >> dan abrams, thanks very much. let's go to sam champion at the philadelphia zoo this morning. one of your favorite places. >> let me tell you, george. it's a lot of fun here. we'll show you some stuff during the 8:00 hour. let's deal with the twitter pictures and facebook pictures from the flood zones. we're getting a lot in from arkansas and also the indiana and tennessee area. in the zones we're seeing flood record levels that we've been talking about on the news. that flooding will continue throughout the weekend. let's look at the frosty morning in the ohio and tennessee valleys this morning. 11 states under frost and freeze advisories, michigan, pennsylvania, tennessee. all the way into alabama. nashville is in the 30s. a quick look at the big board. there's been plenty of heat in the southwest. l.a. was near a record yesterday. you're ten degrees cooler in the l.a. area today. you're closer to the 80s than the 90s. phoenix is at 97. that's a sign of the cooler air working in over the next couplea all of that weather was brought to you by preen, garden weed preventer. george, this may look a little odd. this is the reason we're in philadelphia. we'll show you at 8:00. it's a brand-new extinction thing for kids. to teach them about the animals on the verge of extinction. >> extinction stinks. i know. >> we agree. when he come back, here comes the bride, take two. marie osmond remarries her first husband. >> there's the song. there's the song. ♪ make it better than the first time ♪ the song. there's the song. ♪ make it better than the first time ♪ [ female announcer ] this is not just a corner drugstore. this is walgreens. a place to help you stay well. where liz kiem can find answers to nagging questions like...

inexpensive. and fast to make for mom. half of every meal you have has to be vegetables. i know you don't like greens. but do you like potatoes? >> sure. >> you like french fries. how about sweet potatoes? and use a smaller plate. i know it deals with quantity issues. and cut out the sugary drinks. at lunch and dinner, we took that out of the film. that's empty calories. your brain doesn't take any profit out of that. it just eats more. >> are you willing to make the commitment?

>> never in a million years. you know, i have so much respect, now, for people that go through a divorce or experience a loss. >> reporter: are you heartbroken? >> sure. absolutely. >> reporter: his wife and former business partner filed for divorce, fighting for more than $320,000 a month in spousal support. she claimed the couple was worth more than $1 billion. and needed the money to maintain her high standard of living. you come from a modest background. but it certainly became much more of an extravagant lifestyle. >> too much so, i think. i think that was part of the problem. and i'll take my share of the blame. i became a caricature of myself. and i became a caricature of somebody that was, you know, an uncaring, unfeeling, excessively living, you know, bad guy. and that's just not who i am. >> reporter: and as the mccourts battled it out in front of a judge, soon questions would arise about the dodgers' finances. in court filings, jamie mccourt said the couple's lifestyle was inextricably intertwined and, therefore, quote, many of our expenses were paid directly by team-related entities. now, major league baseball is investigating. and commissioner, bud selig, has stripped mccourt of financial control over the team. you have mansions. you have a private jet. you stay at five-star hotels. how are you able to afford this kind of lifestyle? were you using -- were you using the team's money? >> that's not my lifestyle, just so we're really, really clear. i don't -- >> reporter: was that your lifestyle? were you misusing the team's money? >> not at all. >> reporter: mccourt says this is all just a distraction. and promises to make it up to the dodgers' team members and their fans. >> nothing is more important to me than winning back their trust and winning back their confidence. >> fast ball. big, chopper to third. >> because that's my reputation. >> reporter: for "good morning america," abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles. and now, to part two of our rob lowe interview. the star revealing so much in his beautiful, new memoir, "stories i only tell my friends." and we sat down and talked about his favorite role. we asked him about the person he wanted to talk about most. you dedicated the book to your family. and you said, in memory of your mother. >> i did. >> yeah. >> i did. my mom was my first editor. whenever i wrote anything i would call her up and say, what do you think of this? and i lost her to breast cancer a few years ago. and she would have -- i can't even begin to tell you what she would be saying with me putting a book out. my goodness. >> liza minnelli. the story that you tell, really helps people understand -- >> what a nerd i was? it's okay. you can say it. >> that's one way to put it. but you share the -- here you are, a young actor. you find out she's in town. >> i'm living in dayton, ohio. there's no celebrities in ohio. and liza is coming off of "cabaret." she's the biggest phenomenon in the business. and i'm in a lobby. and i see her luggage going by that says liza minnelli. i'm 8 years old. i want to be an actor. and i figure, i'm going to meet her. so, i go to the front desk. i can't see over the front desk. but, excuse me? and i say, what's liza minnelli's room? and for some reason, they gave me the room number. >> an 8-year-old? >> an 8-year-old. god knows what was going on in liza's room. oh, here's the latest 8-year-old. so, up i go. and she was kind to me. and it made a mark on me that celebrities can really make a difference in people's lives. just by being nice. be nice. how hard is it to be nice?
