Are you about to be charged up to 4 on your purchases just for using the plastic . Oh no. Also coming up American Idol under fire right now. A group of contestants have just filed a legal complaint against the show reportedly saying they were kicked off, not because of their voices but because of their race. Wow. Lets get right to the ice storm thats been making all the commutes so dangerous and messy across the midwest and the east coast. Sams been tracking the latest overnight and has the latest. From virginia, all the way to boston, it will eventually be rain. But take a look at the pictures out of iowa and youll know that driving on any amount of ice is a problem. In some cases, it will take the ice you see on this to change over to change over to wet road surfaces. You can see the areas of purple, thats ice, mixed in with the blue, thats rain. Anywhere from central pennsylvania, to the carolinas. Now, the Northern Areas falling just as snow. It will stay as snow. So, theres a little bit of accumulation. Its a small system as it moves in. Its three to five inches of snow in the northern elevations. Its the southern sections that are a real problem. From Central New York state all the way this morning into the carolinas. Ice to rain. Ice to rain. Thats going to take all afternoon to get rid of it. Well take you stepbystep. The warm air that finally changes it to rain will be a problem for severe storms tomorrow. Well show you what that looks like coming up in regular weather. Sam, thanks very much. To the white house now. And the firstever joint interview with president obama and hillary clinton. Once bitter rivals, theyve been working sidebyside for four years. And their sitdown already sparking some buzz about what comes next. Lets get more on that from Abcs Martha Raddatz in washington. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, george. Friday is officially Hillary Clintons last day as secretary of state. But after watching the 60 minutes interview with president obama and secretary clinton, it seemed rather clear weve not seen the last of her. From the moment they sat down to talk with cbs news 60 minutes, president obama and secretary clinton, seemed like they had been the best of friends for decades. I just wanted to have a chance to publicly say thank you because i think hillary will go down as one of the finest secretary of states we have had. Im going to miss her. Wish she was sticking around. Hillarys been one of the most important advisers that ive had on a whole range of issues. Reporter so, how did they heal the wounds from their intense rivalry . During that highly contentious 2008 primary fight. I cant tell who im running against. Well, were just getting warmed up. Its ancient history because of the people we all are. Also, were professionals. Reporter the interview will clearly leave many wondering, was this an endorsement of a 2016 president ial run . I dont think either he or i can make predictions about whats going to happen tomorrow or the next year. Clearly, the door is open for her. Shes leaving the scene. Shes not leaving politics. Reporter at least clintons health doesnt appear to be a factor, announcing that she expects to make a full recovery after suffering a concussion and blood clot recently. I noticed your glasses yeah, i have some lingering effects. The doctors tell me that that will all recede. Reporter its believed the secretary is having some troubles with doublevision. And what about Vice President biden . Hes still playing coy about 2016. I havent made that decision. And i dont have to make that decision for a while. Reporter hard to believe it was just a week ago today that president obama started his second term. But clearly, a lot of people are thinking ahead, george, to the next race four years from now. A little time to go before that. But there is some big news coming out of washington today. The beginnings of a bipartisan deal on Immigration Reform that includes the man you spoke with yesterday, senator john mccain. Reporter exactly. Theres an announcement scheduled for this afternoon from this Bipartisan Group of senators about agreement in principle on some pretty sweeping changes of immigration law. And frankly, a lot of optimism, this could be passed even with a very controversial path to citizenship for those in the country illegally. Senator john mccain telling your this week show yesterday, he thinks the time is right, especially given the power of latino voters in the last election. Lot of momentum behind that now. Lets get the rest of the Morning Headlines from david muir, weekend anchor in for josh. Good morning, everyone. Were going to begin this morning with the search for answers after that horrific nightclub tragedy. At least 230 people were trapped and killed in a fire that engulfed a packed dance club in brazil. The club with just one exit became a death trap in seconds. Matt gutman is in brazil with new details on how the fire started and why there was no other way out. Matt, good morning. Reporter good morning, david. It is impossible to underestimate the impact that this has had in brazil. Check out these headlines, banner headlines everywhere here today. And largely because those killed were so young, mostly College Students and minors. And because this mostly was avoidable. This morning, images of inconsolable grief. Investigators say the fire that claimed the lives of more than 230 people inside this popular santa maria nightclub, started with the band on stage lit small flares, pointing them towards the ceiling. That set the buildings soundproofing on fire. And within seconds, the club began filling with thick, black smoke. That triggered the stampede. Hundreds made it out in the streets. And firefighters and several young clubgoers who managed to escape, pulled others to safety. But so many were trapped. Most of those who died succumb to smoke inhalation. Firefighters finding dozens of their bodies blocking the clubs single exit. Eerily similar to the station nightclub fire in rhode island, in 2003, also started by a bands pyrotechnics. But it took patrons 30 seconds to react to the fire. By then, it was too late. 100 people died. Some experts believe that, if they had immediately headed for the exits, dozens of lives may have been spared. Now, begins the grim task of identifying the dead. The city morgue quickly filled up. That had to be moved to the gym, where families are still identifying bodies this morning. And also, the first memorial, one of many, began just moments ago. So many mothers and fathers on the scene now. Back in this country. This morning, troubling developments about boeings 787 dreamliner jet. The wall street journal now reporting to avoid production delays, officials at boeing and the faa, decided the plane would not have to pass newer and stricter fire safety tests. And japan, reportedly sped up inspections, pressured by the airlines looking to cut costs. Part of the Mississippi River is shut down this morning after a barge carrying 80,000 gallons of oil, struck a bridge in vicksburg, mississippi. Its unclear how much oil has spilled. An oily sheen has been spotted three miles down river. And some amazing rescue video in australia. A family stranded in their pickup truck. With the waters rising quickly, rescuers urging them to put their 14monthold son in this tiny bag so he could be hoisted up to the helicopter hovering above. As they bring him up, they carry him up inside the helicopter, all the way up. This is terrifying for those adults watching. Look at this. Right inside that bag, a little boys head. A little upset. But doing just fine. Why did they zip the bag closed . Hes okay. And so are the parents. And this, also from australia, the same storm churning up all of the foam. Watch to the left. The two officers jumping out of the way. A car suddenly emerging from all of that foam. The driver said, where am i . Unbelievable, right . Foam alert. The driver thought they were completely submerged . Completely submerged. Had nod idea a car was coming. They didnt have sam. They didnt have sam. See . Now, to a major headline for anybody who uses a visa or a mastercard and thats a lot of us. Theres a brandnew surcharge of up to 4 , now allowed in 40 states on every purchase. And it all just started yesterday. Abcs gio benitez has the story. Reporter you thought all you had to worry about was the Interest Rate . Wrong. This morning, retailers can charge you a fee for swiping your credit card. How much . Up to 4 of your total purchase. In other words, if you buy a digital camera for 200, you could be charged an extra 8 bucks for using a credit card instead of paying cash. Id be really upset. I wouldnt want to pay more. Reporter luckily for this shopper, shes in new york, one of the ten states that has barred retailers from charging consumers the fee. Some retailers have already said they wont be passing on the surcharge to customers. Walmart told abc news, we are not interested in surcharging customers in order to allow Credit Card Companies to continue charging unfair fees. And it will really only be the smaller retailers or Service Providers who might do it. But its really anybodys guess. Reporter so, dont panic yet. Stores have to make sure you know about the fee before you pay it. What are some of the things that consumers can look for in a store when theyre walking in . When you walk in, there has to be a sign conspicuously displayed indicating that they do surcharge. Then, at the Cash Register and also on your receipt, they have to clearly disclose what to clearly disclose what the surcharge is. Reporter and the same goes for online shopping. The website must warn you about the online fee. Using your debit card with a p. I. N. Number is a little different. This fee applies only to credit cashed purchases. Now, to that terrifying air scare caught on camera. A plane catching fire in mid flight with more than 100 passengers onboard. Investigators trying to figure out if it was all caused by a bolt of lightning. Abcs jim avila has the story. Reporter sparks coming from the engine. Not what you want to see out your jetliner window at 30,000 feet. The massive flashes seen in this video that went viral last week, were originally reported as a Lightning Strike fire. Another camera catches the flaming plane as it streaks across the night sky over turkey. Back onboard, passengers are warned of turbulence. Then, the lights go out. But the Turkish Airline pilots never lose control of the flight and land safely. Lightning strikes are not uncommon. This emirates airbus a380, was hit back in 2011. That same spring, going to london. We had a Lightning Strike. Reporter that plane landed safely. As did a jetblue flight that took off from tampa. Weve been struck by lightning twice. Reporter aviation experts say every airliner in the sky is hit once a year. The chances of being hit in the air are actually 500times more likely than being hit on the ground. It happens all the time. And they safely absorb it because theyre not grounded. Reporter aviation expert john nance says this engine fire is likely to have been caused by lightning. Theres almost no likelihood that a Lightning Strike could have created the problem we saw with the engine. Reporter Lightning Strike or not, fire in the air is not what anyone wants to see out their window or from the ground. Jim avila, abc news, new york. And that is sure an understatement. Now, to the mother of two who vanished mysteriously while traveling in turkey. She was by herself, taking pictures of the breathtaking scenery. Now, she has disappeared. Abcs john muller is here with the very latest on this strange story. Reporter it is. Good morning, elizabeth. As we speak, the missing new york mothers husband and brother are in the air, on their way to istanbul. When they land this afternoon, they will join a frantic search. She went to a faroff land to take beautiful pictures. But her first trip abroad has turned ugly. 33yearold sarai sierra, a new york mother of two, left for the u. S. And never came back. These instagram pictures she posted from turkey, strikingly beautiful, detailing the dream photography trip she was originally supposed to take with a friend, who backed out at the last minute. Her father went to pick her up at newark early last week, only to find out she never got on her flight home. She had never even arrived at the airport at turkey. Reporter this morning, her distraught husband and brother are on their way to turkey to help Istanbul Police find her. She stayed in Constant Contact through skype and messages. The last message coming last monday saying, ill be home tomorrow. Yay. She touched base with us all the time. And everything was fine, up until the day before she was supposed to arrive. Reporter when her plane arrived tuesday without her onboard, her family called authorities. At the hostel where she was staying, Turkish Police found her passport, medical card and phone chargers still in the room. Shes an amazing person. She has one incredible sense of humor. And i love that about her. Reporter she had every reason to come home. She decided to cut her trip short because she missed her 9yearold and 11yearold kids. And she was eager to register for new classes at a local college. Now, an Ongoing International mystery, as family from new york hits the ground in turkey, trying to bring back the wife, sister, daughter and mother they love so much. Her family is deeply suspicious. They say that this is completely out of character for the mother of two who so deeply loves her children, children who still dont know their mother is missing. I hope theres a happy ending to this. Thanks, john. Lets switch gears to a big night in hollywood, as we count down to the oscars.

That is all coming up. But right now, were going to begin with the bizarre shock jock trial in florida, where one lawyer calls it A John Grisham trial come to life. This latest may mean a mistrial or a new arrest. Abcs linsey davis has all the latest. Reporter good morning, george. This is one of those cases that falls under the heading you just cant make this stuff up. For starters, the initial lawsuit involved a man who goes by the game of bubba the love sponge clem. His lawyers are involved in a honey pot that involves a dui aroast and now a potential mistrial. The authorities are always screwing with you. Reporter a civil Defamation Case over alleged namecalling, between the biggest radio names in the tampa bay area. Bubba the love sponge clem and his accuser, john schnitt. It quickly took a turn when schnitts attorney was behind bars for a dui. A member of bubba clems defense team went to a tampa bar and allegedly tricked the opposing counsel, charles campbell, into getting arrested. She bought him drinks. She specifically, we believe, asked him to move her car. Reporter police testified that a member of bubba clems defense team called them to have campbell arrested for dui. Schnitts lawyers say theyre now asking for a mistrial on the grounds the jury may have been influenced by the publicity of campbells dui arrest. Obviously, the criminal arrest for lead counsel for the plaintiff has a dramatic affect. Reporter schnitts lawyers say bubbas lawyers could have gotten a Legal Advantage because campbell left his briefcase with apartment documents in the paralegals car. But bubbas attorneys say that theres no need for a mistrial. Theres no evidence to suggest that my law firm or any of us was involved in any of this. This is campbells second dui charge in the last five years. Keep in mind, this is all stemming from a 15,000 civil suit. Schnitt is suing clem for allegedly making defamatory statements about him and his wife. Elizabeth . What a story. Linsey, thank you so much. Now, to a shocking update in the case of jonbenet ramsey, the 6yearold beauty queen that was found dead in her home in colorado. A reports reveal that the grand jury in that case voted to indict both of her parents in the case for child abuse, leading to her death. Were going to talk to dan abrams about it live. But first, abcs Clayton Sandell has the latest on the story. Reporter its a murder case 16 years old, still unsolved. In 1996, at christmas, 6yearold beauty Queen Jonbenet Ramsey was found dead in the basement of her familys boulder, colorado, home. Suspicion fell on her parents, john and patsy ramsey. But they insisted an intruder is to blame. Did you kill jonbenet . No, i did not. Mrs. Ramsey, did you kill your daughter . No, i did not kill my daughter. Reporter but now, abc news sources confirm that in 1999, a grand jury, after meeting over a year, believed there was enough evidence to indict john and patsy ramsey, on charges of child abuse resulting in death. The story first appeared in the boulder daily camera. But the District Attorney refused to sign off. I and my Prosecution Task force, believe we do not have sufficient evidence to warrant the filing of charges. Reporter the prosecutor believing a conviction would be impossible. Patsy ramsey died in 2006. John ramsey remarried. His attorney tells abc news, that prosecutor hunter is a hero who wisely avoided a miscarriage of justice. The case is still officially open. But as in 1996, investigators seem no closer to solving the crime in 2013. The year jonbenet would have turned 23. For good morning america, Clayton Sandell. Abc news, denver. One of the great lingering mysteries. Lets bring in our gma legal analyst, dan abrams. The saying always goes, the grand jury will indict a ham sandwich. The burden of proof is much lower for a grand jury than it would have been the District Attorney. Having to prosecute those charges in court. It seems that the grand jury went for a compromise. Meaning, they didnt decide to say this is murder. They said this is abuse, which led to the death, which sounds to me like a compromise on the part of a grand jury. Ordinarily, you present a case like this to the grand jury, youre going to get a murder case. Now, we dont know exactly what the prosecutor said to the grand jury, meaning, we dont know that they said we want you to indict on murder. My guess is they didnt tell them at all what they wanted them to do. They left it in theirs hands. And this is what they came up with. But how often does that happen . That a d. A. Gets an indictment for abuse leading to the death or murder or whatever you want to call it, and then chooses to do nothing on it . Very, very rarely without new evidence coming forward. You might see this in a case where a grand jury says, hands up an indictment, and then d. A. Says other things have come into play here, were not going to move forward. Its the prosecutions decision to bring it to the grand jury. There was a huge divide between the prosecutors office, between prosecutors and police on the guilt or innocence of the ramsey family. This would have put so much pressure on alex hunter back in the late 90s to move forward with this case. But i think he gets a lot of credit. Ive seen most of that case file. I have to tell you that i think alex hunter made the right call then. And looking back on it, its even clearer that he made the right call. The ramseys were officially cleared by a subsequent District Attorney. But the current d. A. Says he is not bound by that clearance. A murder, you can continue to investigate. But i think that whoever investigates this case moving forward, will not be looking at the ramseys. And my guess is, this case will probably never be solved. Thank you so much. Lets get a check in, now, of the messy, messy storm system across the east coast and the midwest, from sam on the morning weather. Sam . And were going to talk about some flooding rains that were yesterday, from phoenix to tucson. Pictures came out about threequarters of an inch to a full inch in that zone.

The hit show, now under fire, from a group of former contestants who say they were kicked off because of their race. Abcs cecilia vega has our story. You did not make the top 24. Reporter it is the hit show where singers can get the boot for missing a note. But can contestants also get the boot from American Idol simply based on their race . Nine former contestants have filed a legal complaint against the show, reportedly claiming they were kicked off for that very reason. According to tmz, the group says the show tried to humiliate africanamerican contestants, many with arrest records, by exposing their pasts for ratings. This morning, their issue tells abc news, it is an issue for the courts. Idols network, fox, isnt commenting. For all of the people that were literally taken off of the program, they have been all africanamerican. Is that a coincidence . Its kind of hard to tell. Reporter contestants, including, finalist corey clark, disqualified from season two after a battery arrest. And semifinalist jared andrews, sent packing over an assault charge. And i dont need reporter producers also booted these twins, after Identity Theft charges surfaced. And season nine contestant was questioned over ties to a boy band. I really cannot recall anytime on the show where i felt discriminated against. Reporter season six finalist, melinda doolittle, said one thing American Idol isnt, is racist. Three of the shows past winners are black. Other past contestants say singers on idol are required to disclose arrests. Season fours Vonzell Solomon tells abc news, in a statement, i was clearly informed of all grounds for disqualifications in our contracts. Idol has changed my life for the better. I didnt feel like there was special attention given to someone because of race. I really cannot see where this is coming from. Reporter but where it may be headed . To a courtroom.

Will you share it with everybody . Its interesting. Julianne moore talked about her stylist on the red carpet. Now that we know celebrities have stylists, we dont necessarily think theyre going to be huge successes and big misses. Its much more about the fact, you just want to see the woman in a dress. You want to see her and think that shes beautiful. The risktakers, what winds up happening is the dress is wearing them. Not necessarily that its a terrible dress. But thats the distinction now. It overpowers them. Who did you think were the winners last night . I had so many favorites. I have to go with Jennifer Lawrence. Jesse chastain and naomi watts.

That dress was amazing. You talk about when the dress wears the woman. Who do you think took a fashion risk . I think January Jones is the girl were talking about today. She did severe hair. She went with the shorter hair and her hair falling out, that was part of it. But that dress really wore her a little bit. I love that dress, actually, when it was shown originally was shorter. I think it was a little less of a statement. I liked the neckline. She was going for something a lot stronger. Very rock n roll. Exactly. It was a almost punk rock. Some of the dresses were a lot softer. All right. Stacy london, we love your hits, your misses and your great advice. Now, from abc7 news , good morning, i am kristen sze.

Watch your local abc stations for all of the warm weather across the country. Were getting a warmup. Its not a good time of the year to do that. Thank you, micha a little basketball. A little weather. All that brought to you by cadillac. Coming up, a lot more on gma, including the story of all right. Were counting down to oscar sunday. And this morning, we have a special treat. Five of the oscarnominated costumes which were worn in anna karenina. And joe zee to give us the lowdown on these looks. These are wows. Theyre amazing. You talk about works of art. These are museumquality cost e costumes. I want to start with this black ensemble that Keira Knightley war so well. When you talk about what they did for this movie, they took the idea of 19th century russia and incorporated 50s couture. They actually jacqueline said, i dont want to focus on the 1870s, when the film is set. But take that 50s couture. There was a lot of glamour in 50s couture. They took a lot of inspiration from the turn of the century. True costumes from the turn of the century, is a little doubty. And shes not doubty. Shes so chic. And in the film, its a scene when theyre fighting when shes wearing this incredible twopiece ensemble and the high neckline, shes so glamorous. And its a tricky line to walk for costume designers. You dont want the clothes to outshine the performance. You want to enhance the character. But you dont want it to become about the dress. That green dress is still in everybodys memory bank. I want to celebrate jacqueline. This is her third nomination. Shes been nominated for two other joe wright Keira Knightley productions. So, shes on a roll. And they work incredibly well together. The best part is they can talk and work through the things that work best for what her character is. Another example, a similar silhouette to the others. But i love that the color here is telling a story. What we learn from jacqueline is that the colors were darker in the beginning of the film to reflect the mood. As the love affair grew, the clothing got lighter. I think a moviegoer get a sense of that. I think this particular movie, it is stylized. I think what joe wright had was inspired by a play and took off from that. And i think you really see the character really move in a really beautiful way. Thats what you see through the costume. Talk to me about this. Chanel. Chanel supplied all of the jewelry for the movie. Its incredible. It is talk about handcrafted, stateoftheart, really inspired by turn of the century. But its not literal. Its a modern approach. Very modern approach. You were standing next to this. This is my favorite. I love the color. What can we take on this for todays fashion . What can we interpret from these looks . These are costumes. Theres a lot of work put into these. Theyre boned. Theyre corseted. Theres a lot of padding underneath. But the idea that you can find something thats elegant and understated in a way. This was my favorite from the movie. Me, too. But this is only in the movie for a splitsecond. But you remembered it. It was that impactful. Thats what costumes should do. We have one more. This is truly eye candy. Tell us about this ensemble and these jewels. This is a deep purple black taffeta ensemble. And Keira Knightley is not even here and it looks like shes standing here right now. Its incredible. These have been on tour. Not easy to get the actual costumes from a film, especially oscarnominated film. We thank you, joe zee, and everybody involved. Mary j. Blige and Angela Bassett joining forces about one of the most remarkable friendships. And coming up on gma live did cassie say yes to the prom . Well reveal her answer, live. Stay with us. Well, two powerhouse perf m performers thats hard to say. Two powerhouse performers have joined forces to bring one of the most intriguing friendships to the screen. Angela bassett and mary j. Blige. They create a legacy all of their own. And they are together in a movie called betty and coretta. Its so good to have you both here this morning. You both look so beautiful. Thank you. Just gorgeous ensembles. Were all talking style today. A lot of people know that Martin Luther king and malcolm x were certainly huge and symbolic leaders of the civil rights movement. They were not friendly in life. But their two widows forged an intensely deep friendship. And i dont think a lot of people know that. Right. I didnt know, either. Thats what drew me to the story. The fact that they were friends. And they look at the Bigger Picture to, you know, live out their husbands legacies to keep the dream alive, so to speak. And they didnt fight. They just because martin was peaceful to gandhi. And malcolm x. , fiery. You know, by any means necessary. So, you know, whatever public was attracted to, you had your sides you could go to. But they lived beyond that. Exactly. The two women actually forged a really deep and intimate bond, not the least of which, they were both widows. They both lost their husbands violently. They had that deeply in common. They had families to raise. They were committed to the movement, and to the community, and to the struggle, i think to the larger issues. So, they were to get past it what was considered petty. Single mothers. Raised between the two of them ten children without their husbands. I want to look at a clip. Originally, malcolm x. Was killed first, assassinated first. You play betty shabazz, who didnt want a public life until she saw Coretta Scott king. I saw on tv how you led that march. You took them right into the city where he was shot dead. I was so amazed. But its not a choice i would have made. Its something i had to do. There was no choice. Talk a little bit about that, angela. The exact that Coretta Scott king shot she had no choice but to assume his mantle. It was how she grew up. Her history. Her father who went through his experiences in a southern town, racist experiences. Was a bigger person because of it. You know, didnt go towards violence. Her mother who says that my children would get an education if i had but one dress. And her and her sister went on to Antioch College and there to boston. So, when she met martin, she rebuffed him. I have lots to do. Im very busy. I think she was on a road to an ope operatic career. She was like, you guys calm down. Settle down. Dont go this route. She thought her life had a purpose and a purpose with him. She embraced it nonetheless because there was a godgiven purpose that she felt a calling on her life. Well, it was a fascinating friendship. And a fascinating movie. My 10yearold watched it with me. And he loved it. So, the movie is called betty and coretta. It premiers saturday and lifetime. Thank you for being here. And happy birthday to twins. Their birthday. Seventh birthday. Well be right back. Remember, nathan out in times square had a big sign for robin this morning. She answered on twitter. Appreciate the signs that gma audience make to comfort me. Every day is returning will be a blessing. There you go, nathan. Have a good day. Now, from abc7 news, good morning, i am kristen sze.
