Worries about harrys safety in afghanistan. It comes in brandnew interview. Cant wait for that. Also on the show, americas most famous reality star. Yep, honey booboo is back. But its honey booboos mother and her big moneymaking move thats making headlines this morning. Is she the shrewdest reality star ever . But well begin with that breaking news out of the white house. The president will nominate his picks for the pentagon and cia later today. Already stirring up some controversy. Abcs Martha Raddatz is in washington. Reporter lets start with the defense secretary. You might think a republican, vietnam veteran, former senator, with all kinds of clout would be the perfect choice. But chuck hagel will have to fight for confirmation. Republican chuck hagel has one very important democrat on his side ive served with chuck hagel. I know him. Hes a patriot. Reporter but when news broke that hed be the pick for secretary of defense, prominent republicans, who would be a part of the confirmation, called him an inyourface pick. Its difficult to imagine a circumstance in which i could support his nomination. Its a controversial choice. Reporter even conservative groups got in on the fight against hagel. Chuck hagel is not a responsible option. Reporter why is everyone so sour on the former republican senator . Last month he had to issue an apology for comments made in 1998 about president clintons nominee to be ambassador to luxembourg, calling him openly, aggressively gay. In 2007, hagel dared to speak out against the planned troop surge in iraq. The most dangerous Foreign Policy blunder in this country, since vietnam. Reporter and his controversial comments on israel incensed many when he said lawmakers on capitol hill were intimidated by what he called the jewish lobby. If con foirmd be secretary of defense would be the most antagonistic secretary of defense toward israel in our nations history. Reporter they say hagel is a friend of israel. But hagels confirmation, george, as you know, is not guaranteed. Not at all. John brennan, replacing david petraeus, hes been the president s closest adviser on counterterrorism. At the heart of that hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Also, likely to face questions about the president s drone warfare program. Reporter exactly those kinds of questions and some enhanced interrogation questions. Hes very close to the president. He was right there next to obama when Osama Bin Laden was killed. He, of course, replaces david petraeus, because he resigned in the wake of the sex scandal. Okay, Martha Raddatz, thank you so much. And, george, now to what is the earliest and most intense flu outbreak in a decade. As we told you, 41 states reporting cases. 18 children have died. And the flu season is just getting started. Dr. Richard besser joins us with what you need to know. Good morning, rich. Good morning. Ive been talking to the cdc about this. This outbreak really has them concerned. Although the season is early, its not too late to get some protection from the vaccine. [ child crying ] reporter despite loud objections, these children are arming themselves for the earliest and potentially most intense flu season in a decade. I dont want a shot. Reporter this morning, the cdc says an alarming 41 states have widespread influenza activity. Thats up 25. From just two weeks ago. Already 18 children have died. Those numbers will continue to rise. Its been an epidemic. Its been huge. There have been a lot of admissions from the flu. More than ever. Reporter near the great lakes, the hardesthit region, reports that nearly 60 of those checked tested positive for the flu. Were seeing 75 to 80 patients day. Incredibly busy. Waiting room full of patients. Sore throat, cough, headaches, body aches. Reporter typical flu seasons dont begin until now, after the holidays. But this years season started back in october. And of course, hearing that number, 18 child deaths. Thats so unnerving for parents. You say early treatment is the key . Thats right. Thats absolutely essential. Cdc recommends people in the highrisk groups, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with medical conditions, they get started on tamiflu early. So, if youre in one of those groups, you want to get care early, because early treatment makes a big difference. This year, the flu virus, no resistance to the drug treatment. The difference between life and death. Definitely. Lets turn now to josh in miami for the other top stories. Josh, good morning. Good morning to you, amy, and to all of you. Were going to begin here with the price of gas. Just as were getting used to these low prices, theyre now making a move in the wrong direction. New figures this morning show that the National Average is 3. 30. The real concern is what lies ahead. Analysts predict prices could rise another 35 cents or more before spring because of the rising costs of crude oil. And were learning new details this morning about the teenager accused of plotting an attack at his high school in alabama. In a journal found by a teacher, Police Report that 17yearold derek shrout outlined plans of setting off homemade grenades. They found containers full of shrapnel at his home and he admitted to being a white supremacist. But he claims his journal was merely a work of fiction. And the man accused of gunning down 12 people in the colorado Movie Theater heads to court this morning for a sort of minitrial. Prosecutors will outline their evidence against james holmes. As try to convince the judge that he should stand trial. His lawyers claim hes mentally ill. Hundreds of victims family members and those injured in julys shooting are expected to attend. Also this morning, the white house has rejected a new proposal from syrian dictator bashar al assad. In a rare speech sunday, he offered to draw up a new constitution and to begin a Peace Process to end the civil war in his country that has now claimed more than 60,000 lives. He refused to step down or even negotiate with rebels. The nations largest banks are reportedly close to striking a deal over foreclosure abuses. 14 banks, including chase, bank of america, citigroup, and wells fargo, are expected to agree to a 10 billion settlement. That money will be used to reimburse evicted home oowners d help lower the balances of other struggling homeowners. An invasion off the coast of southern california. Squid, giant squid are racing towards shore. Look at this. Not your typical fivepounders. Were not talking calamari. Were talking babies that are 25 pounds or more. So many, in fact, that the two fishermen that you see here, caught 800 of them, in two boats in just two hours. Reportedly, feeding on krill coming in with the tide, which makes me feel not one bit better about it. It certainly makes it hard to argue for a Beach Vacation in california these days. Until they clear that up. Thank you, josh. Were going to switch gears now to that Sexual Assault case that has rocked a small city in ohio. Two Steubenville High SchoolFootball Players have been arrested for attacking a 16yearold girl. Now, local police are under fire from protesters who said they slowwalked the case to protect the football program. Abcs alex is in steubenville with the latest. Reporter good morning, george. Authorities say theyre handling this case by the book. And still investigating. The controversy here is now stirring emotions across the country. [ chanting ] all we want justice. We want justice. Reporter this morning, steubenville, ohio, is under siege. Angry protesters here in town and online are demanding justice for a 16yearold teen who was allegedly sexually assaulted in august by two High School Football stars. All shame on you. Shame on you. Reporter the fresh anger comes after this video was leaked by the internet activist group anonymous. Shes deader than a doornail. Reporter it appears to show local teenagers joking about the alleged assault. She might have wanted it. Reporter another photo circulated by anonymous reportedly shows two of the accused men carrying the alleged unconscious victim. Social media is now ablaze with criticism. Ajry comments accusing police and local government of slowing down the investigation to protect the high schools by loved football program. The big red, known for winning championships. The video and pictures tell the story. Horrific is probably the best descriptive word i could use. Reporter the town has now launched a new website defending the investigation. And the county prosecutor has asked the states attorney general to try the case. The only thing that we want to do is determine what the facts are, what the truth is. Reporter and at this point, two 16yearold Football Players have been charged. Their names made public at a hearing. Both trent mays and Malik Richman have pleaded not guilty. George . Okay, alex. Thanks. That video is so disturbing. Difficult to watch indeed. Now to the latest on the mystery of what happened to fashion mogul Vittorio Missoni. He and his wife were on a small plane carrying six people that vanished after the coast of south america friday morning. Members of his family are hinting that missoni and his fellow passengers may have been kidnapped. Abcs matt gutman has the very latest. Reporter good morning, amy. Thats right. The plane went down along an area that is a wellknown drugsmuggling route. Reports out of italy this morning, that the family hopes that the plane was hijacked and that is the only chance that the family members might still be alive. This morning, search teams are crisscrossing the caribbean for Vittorio Missoni and his companions. The heir iconic to the italian designer house, known for its e geometric patterns. The 58yearold, his wife, and four others taking off friday in this tiny plane from the remote but fashionable los roques islands to caracas. It was the middle of the day. Suddenly, just a few minutes in, the plane vanishes from the radar. Founded in 1953 by his parents, missoni captured the attention of celebrities. With its trademark zig zag designs. The brand has expanding from homeware to hotels. He also spearheaded a push into the biggest market of all, the u. S. The 400piece missoni line at target sold out almost instantly. Crashing targets website. He helped the Company Bring in about 200 million last year and was scheduled to showcase a new collection in milan next sunday. Its definitely an incredible loss for the brand if something happened to him. Hes been the one credited with making missoni a global empire. Reporter there are many missoni family members to fill the gap. Morning them, his niece and the young face of the brand. But vittorios family is holding out hope for a miracle. His son tweeting, please, help us find my father. The search area is expanding. There are now 400 people involved, covering an area about the size of rhode island, hoping to find some trace of that 45yearold plane. But, by law, they have to keep this search going for four more days. Amy . We certainly hope the family gets answers soon. Lets go back to josh. Hes also in miami for tonights big College Championship game. Josh, you got notre dame and you got alabama. What an epic rivalry. 25 National Championships between them. In the offing, george, its a dream matchup both for a network and most of a nation. It is the game everybody wants to see. Not surprising then that tickets for tonights game here at sun life stadium in miami are at a premium. Seats going, prepare yourself, for an astonishing 60,000 on stubhub. And that was just yesterday. Those prices could be going up. Seats in the nosebleeds, almost 1,000 a piece, all to get as close as possible to right here, to this field, for a game for the ages. They are two of College Footballs most storied programs. Blue and gold fighting irish of notre dame. And the alabama crimson tide. Both schools steeped in tradition, almost a century in the making. Tracing the legacies of knute rockne and bear bryant. Off the field, theirs is a clash of cultures. Pitting north versus south. This summation, catholics versus cousins. Others have called it rudy versus forrest gump. Notre dames most famous alum and arguably biggest fan, regis philbin. Crimson tides biggest fan, former alabama quarterback, broadway joe namath. For me, as a fan, its wonderful. For the players, its got to be a dream come true. To win a championship, to be in position to win a championship. Reporter number two, alabama, is looking to win its second Straight National title. And its third in four years. Were here to win a Football Game. It will be a challenging game. Reporter standing in its way, undefeated notre dame, looking for its First National title in a quarter century. And more important, to retake its place among College Footballs elite. What will it mean for notre dame if they win . It will mean a great deal to the students. Because the students identify their years in school by where they finished in football. Reporter its a mammoth production for hundreds of espns staffers, including the senior producer, in charge of it all. For you, personally, this game, what does it mean to you . Just to be part of a huge team, to see the payoff, its awesome. Its why you do it. Reporter that was my friend, lee fitting. In talking to him and other executives here yesterday, they made it clear what happens here tonight will be nothing less than the biggest event in the history of espn. They expect it to be the most watched program in Cable Television history. It is fair to say, a nation, guys, is ready for some football. No question about it. Josh, both teams have armies of fans behind them all across the country. Yeah, its interesting, as i traveled here from new york city with something of a metaphor for the game. I looked around jfk and thought, wow, notre dame is really traveling well. From the north, coming from the big cities. But then, when we got down here, it seems like the entire city of tuscaloosa has relocated. The entire state of alabama is here. I tell you what. They are ready. The hype is done. Lets play football.

Also, mariah carey is opening up to Barbara Walters about her twins and what is going on behind the scenes at american idol. We have heard the rumors. Now youll hear from mariah herself. As she reveals neverbeforeseen home video as well. But lets get right now to the pennsylvania preacher charged with murdering his two wives. Jury selection in the trial of Arthur Schirmer begins today. Reporter a veteran pastor, husband, father of three. 64yearold Arthur Schirmer was an upstanding member of this rural pennsylvania community. At least thats how it appeared. My parents adored him. I knew there was something strange about him. Reporter tragedy seemed to follow him. His first wife, jewel, died back in 1999. He told investigators she fell down a flight of stairs. Then, in 2008, his second wife, betty jean, died after a car accident. He claims he crashed after swerving to avoid a deer. His wife wasnt wearing a seat belt and sustained severe head trauma. But this morning, prosecutors are saying this morning that this twotime widower is a twotime murderer. After reexamining the crash scene in 2010, investigators determined that the car was going less than 25 Miles Per Hour at the time of the crash, too slow to cause betty jeans injuries. And they found her dried blood in schirmers garage, indicating she was injured before she got into the car. That prompted an investigation into the death of his first wife. Were going to investigate. Reporter investigators used crash test dummies. The results didnt match up to schirmers story. We have filed charges. Reporter he says hes innocent in both cases. The family would like to just be a family. Its been difficult. They do support mr. Schirmer. Reporter for good morning america, john schriffen, abc news, new york. Dan abrams here. Two wives dead.

Here, you have a case, he was not being investigated here until a suicide happened at his office, the husband of someone he was allegedly having an affair with. They say, hmm, thats odd. They begin looking into his wifes death. Charges are filed. Then the investigation into the first wifes death. He says its a coincidence. The family is standing by him. Thats unusual. Hes got the three children are supporting him. As the evidence comes out, will they still believe that . But, look, in a lot of these cases, the family members, simply unwilling or unable to believe that a parent, for example, could have done it. Theyre not going for the death penalty. Not that surprising. Youll have two trials here. Two different cases. So, youre talking about the possibility of up to life in prison. Okay, dan abrams. Thank you very much. Now to a daredevil wildlife photographer and stunning video of his encounter with a polar bear. Abcs dan harris has the story. Trying to see if she can get through it, bite through it. Reporter a facetoface encounter with a 1,000pound, eight foot tall polar bear. Wildlife photographer Gordon Buchanan came to norway to see the polar bears.

Reporter a dangerous encounter that hes lucky to have survived. It was one of the most terrifying things that i have ever done, and i did it intentionally. Reporter he says this closeup was worth the close call. A strange mix of terror and comedy. It felt like a stupid thing to do. But it was incredible. Reporter for good morning america, dan harris, abc news, new york. Not a lot of food up there. You can see more footage in the polar bear family and me, a threepart series that begins tonight on the bbc. That was a brave man indeed. Did you say and me or and meat . Exactly. Exactly.
