Will and kate, naming their baby boy, two days after he arrived. The name fit for a king. And one sure to make Queen Elizabeth happy. Good morning, america. Just two days. Yeah. Before the duke and duchess named their brandnew baby boy. William had to wait a whole week until he knew his name. We know at least one of our colleagues, not here, very happy. George knew we were going to give him hes actually on a national whistlestop gloating tour. In topeka right now. Welcome to the world, George Alexander louis. Such a beautiful name. And one other headline right now. Tropical storm dorian has formed in the atlantic. And sam will have news on where the impact might be felt here in the u. S. But were going to turn, right now, to the breaking news, the death toll rising in that massive train disaster in spain. Abcs lama hasan joins us now with the very latest. Good morning, lama. Reporter good morning, josh. Stunning new video this morning, showing the deadly moment of impact when the train came off the rails. And this morning, morning the 140 injured are four americans. Witness described the train cars flipping and bursting into flames after coming off the tracks. One car ripped apart by the force of the crash. The train was traveling from the capital city of madrid and derailed in northwestern spain, a Tourist Destination that was preparing to celebrate a popular summer festival, attracting christians from all over the world. The festivities have been canceled. Reports this morning say the eightcarriage train carrying 218 passengers was traveling at nearly threetimes its speed limit on a sharp curve because it was behind schedule. The state rail company says the train did not have any technical problems. And an investigation is under way. Robin . So many questions. Lama, thank you so much. Well keep everybody up to date on that. But now, to the latest on the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal. Growing calls for the former congressman to drop his bid to become mayor of new york. And this morning, there are reports that his accuser may come forward today. Abcs Jonathan Karl has the latest from washington. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin. The latest to call for Anthony Weiner to drop out is a fellow new york democrat who served with him in congress. And says, quote, he needs serious psychiatric help. But weiner is as defiant as ever. Anthony weiner was booed at the start of this Campaign Event wednesday, as new yorkers who may have been ready to forgive him once, have to decide whether to forgive him twice. The democratic candidate for new york city mayor, seems to be unfazed by it all. At a debate wednesday night, he offered up a joke, when all of the candidates were asked what social media they prefer to use, facebook or twitter. All i can say is dont ask me. Reporter weiners wife, huma abedin, became visibly emotional, as she defended him tuesday, even as he admitted his sexting ways went on long after he resigned from congress and promised that he would never do it again. But new york newspapers have been relentless, mocking him and the carlos danger alter ego, he apparently used when sending explicit messages and photos to young women over the internet. Weiner was even sending those messages both before and after he and his wife posed for this People Magazine exclusive last year. Overnight, people included excerpts from the interview. Including this from his wife, calling weiner a caring husband. I have not washed a single piece of clothing ever. Anthony does all of our laundry. He makes my tea when i get up in the morning. Hes just a loving, caring, thoughtful spouse and partner. Back when the scandal first broke, weiner showed us how combative he can be when telling a lie. Is it inappropriate for a member of congress to be following young women on their twitter accounts . Its really outrageous as the implication is outrageous. This is a twitter hoax. A prank that was done. Im the victim of it. Reporter weiner is defiantly vowing to continue his campaign. And the latest poll actually has him as the frontrunner for mayor. But its a lead that may not need all that much. The poll was taken mostly before the news of the latest scandal broke. Now, there are reports today that the woman who was involved in these messages is about to go public. Perhaps as early as today. Thats today. All right, jon. Thank you so much. Were going to turn to the pond, or head over it, as his Royal Highness is baby cambridge no more. Two days after arriving, he has a name, truly fit for a king. As the duke and duchess of cambridge have dubbed him George Alexander louis. Abcs amy robach in bucklebury, england, this morning. On the name and so much more. Amy, good morning to you. Reporter thats right, josh, good morning to you. The guessing game is finally over. The palace, telling abc news, that they like the name. Quote, no more, no less, which i believe translates over in america to, it is what it is. We are here in kates hometown. Where the new royal family is beginning their life together without help from a nanny or a midwife. But kate has something even better than that, her mother, carole middleton. His Royal Highness, prince George Alexander louis of cambridge. After two days, finally, a name. William and kate beat his parents who took a week to name him. The name a tribute to the queen, whose father was king george and whose middle name is alexandra. She visited yesterday, along with uncle harry and pippa also stopped by. Prince william and kate now anxious to spend some alone time with their little boy, george. Its a special time. I think any parent would have done. Know what this feeling felt like. Its very special. Reporter william and kate took no time before they headed out to kates parents house in bucklebury, away from the prying eyes of the media. Prince george, getting his first tastes of security of his life to come. The familys home reportedly secured by a perimeter of armed policemen on horseback, with a helicopter standing by. So, now, kates priority and prince williams, too, seems to be some good, old grandma time. Reporter theyre expected to spend three weeks in bucklebury. Based on parking restrictions posted near the home. Later, william will return to make some ideas about his future. The prince, the future king, doesnt get a day more. Reporter some people have other ideas. They should have named him tyrone. Reporter why tyrone . Its my name. Reporter william and kate have made it clear since their wedding that they intend to do things on their terms. Respectful of royal tradition, but real role models for the modern monarchy. Certainly there are a lot of diapers ahead in williams near future. And a real chance for this 21st century couple to share parenting duties as handson parents. Josh, we have obtained, abc news, exclusively, some computer imaging that we worked on all night long to find out what Prince George may look like when he gets older. And if we can put the picture up right there. We can tell you that he may have a future in television news. Thats true. Very true, amy a closer look, makes me think that looked a lot like prince tyrone. Prince george, it shall be. Amy robach, thank you. It has a ring to it. As the news cycle continues. And george knew to stay away. He knew to stay away. Now, to the latest on nsa leaker Edward Snowden. He has spent a month in limbo at a russian airport. But that may change soon. He may be allowed to leave the airport while russia decides if it will grant him asylum. Martha raddatz joins us from washington with much more on all this. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. The drama this morning is intense. At any time now, the man the u. S. Says has committed espionage, could be free in russia, with massive amounts of secret data in tow. This morning, all eyes are on the moscow airport where fugitive Edward Snowden is preparing himself for possible release. We now know that snowden has started learning russian, for what may be months of freedom, or maybe permanent residence there. We are also learning that after a month of wearing the same clothes, snowden has been given fresh shirts and jeans and a copy of crime and punishment, so, his lawyer says, he can become familiar with russian literature. It was snowdens handwritten request for temporary asylum that could lead to his freedom. Russian immigration officials saying the paperwork is being processed. While the russians saying that he would be watched carefully by russian authorities during his stay. It is the classified material that he is carrying on as many as four computers, that worries u. S. Officials. Unless he got careless and left them in his room, there really is no method that the government or somebody in russia, china or the united states, would have for obtaining the information he possesses. Reporter but that remains a major concern of the u. S. And it would certainly not be impossible for the russians to steal the information, especially if snowden is released under their watch. Edward snowden is seen by some as a hero. But last night, the house defeated legislation that would have blocked the National Security agency from collecting phone records of americans. Robin . All right, martha. Okay. Now, to weekend gma coanchor Bianna Golodryga, with the other top stories, right now, including the popes visit. Good morning, everyone. We begin with the popes historic visit to brazil. And this morning, the biggest security concern yet. Up to 1 Million People are expected to pack on to a beach in rio today for mass. Also today, the pope visits a slum thats been regarded as one of the most dangerous in latin america. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in rio with the latest. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, bianna. Thats right. That Prayer Service due to take place right here on brazils famous copacabana beach. But before then, he is going to visit that slum which has been known for its deadly violence and drug gangs. Its because of trips like that one that hes become known as the peoples pope, for his modesty, his accessibility, always wading into crowds to hug and kiss admirers. But it really has raised security concerns around here. He has refused to use the bulletproof popemobile. Prefrg instead an open jeep. There have been moments like this one, when his driver took a wrong turn and the fiat was mobbed by supporters. Its a momentous trip for the latin american pope. And one that is rife with fears over his security. Bianna . All right, alex, our thanks to you. Alex marquardt in rio. And back in this country, a Train Derailment shut down the port of tampa this morning. The cargo train jumped the tracks. 15 cars overturned. At least three were leaking ethanol, which is highly flammable. The fire raging out of control on that natural gas rig in the gulf of mexico, could burn for months. The fireball has consumed much of the rig which is still leaking the gas thats fueling those flames. Engineers could begin digging a relief well as soon as today. And the coast guard has rescued a fisherman off the new york, who spent 12 hours in the open atlantic without a life jacket, using his rubber boots to stay afloat. John aldridge had fallen overboard and drifted 40 miles. But other than a bad sunburn, hes okay. Some good news there. And speaking of survival stories. We told you this at the top of the show. Watch this car in florida. And the motorcycle that comes crashing into it, sending the bike rider sliding 100 feet. Well, it turns out hes the grandson of golf legend jack nicklaus, and a Florida State football star. Josh, this is what you were talking about earlier. Remarkably, he walked away from the crash and is expected to be ready for football season, if you can believe that. And finally, incredible pictures. This is patrick, a 2yearold boy who lost his hair battling leukemia. Well, to show his support, patricks secret service dad and his coworkers all shaved their heads, and so did the man they protect, george h. W. Bush. It was almost 60 years ago that mr. Bush and his wife, barbara, lost their daughter, robin, to leukemia. He looks good. Team patrick. Team patrick. I have to say, josh offered to, when i lost my hair, he offered to shave his, too. But weve seen his head. It was nice that you offered. We did america a favor. America thanks you, robin. Thank you. Were going to turn, now, to new developments in the murder case against former new England Patriots tight end aaron hernandez. He was in court wednesday, as prosecutors won their plea for more time to build their case against him. This, as hernandezs former coach broke his silence. Abcs gio benitez has the story. Its a sad day. Reporter this morning, patriots head coach, bill belichick, is showing his personal side. Speaking out for the first time on aaron hernandez. Hernandez, at the 12 yard line. Having someone in your organization thats involved in a Murder Investigation is a terrible thing. Reporter the patriots reunited at training camp, where hernandez would have been a key player. Hernandez, the former patriots tight end stands accused of killing his friend, odin lloyd, in june. Hernandez pleaded not guilty. A young man lost his life. And his familys suffered a tragic loss. As the coach of the team, you know, im primarily responsible for the people that we bring in for the football operations. Reporter this, as hernandez faced the judge wednesday, hes accused of murdering lloyd. But hernandez denies all charges. Prosecutors now say they need time to collect more evidence, as suspicion grows that he had some involvement in a doublehomicide in boston last year. There continues to be additional evidence that is being presented and considered by the grand jury. Reporter at that same court hearing, abc news has learned that officers seized his cousins cell phone, who shared a home with one of hernandezs alleged accomplices in the lloyd murder. Now, the hernandez case is reportedly prompting nfl teams to hire tattoo specialists to look at prospective players, after investigators wonder whether the tats could have been a warning sign that suggest he has ties to gangs. Something hernandez denies. Head coach belichick hopes for answers. Learn from this terrible experience, that we will become a better team from the lessons that we learned. Reporter and hernandez has been in jail for four weeks. Hell be in there for at least another month. As prosecutors gather more evidence to keep him there without bond. So many questions. That will eventually have answers. Gio benitez, thank you. Of course, robin, its not all bad news. Thats right. Some positive news for the nfl. Rookie jonathan tig willard hasnt even played a game for the Tennessee Titans. He signed as a free agent after the draft. But hes already a hero, saving a family from their burning car. And abcs john muller has that story for us. Reporter when former clemson linebacker jonathan tig willard hit the road for Tennessee Titans training camp. He was focused on making tackles on the field, not on saving lives on the freeway. But thats exactly what happened tuesday night when he saw a car in flames. The car in front of me started smoking. Reporter sherri and her family were on their way to visit her dad when the engine suddenly caught fire. Willard pulled up beside her and directed her to pull over. Once i rushed to the car, i saw that there were three little kids in the backseat. The adrenaline just kicked in. I was just in go mode. I was just going.

Then, when you also see her boyfriend running away from the scene without a shirt on. They had to capture him later, following a domestic disturbance in the house, not surprising that hes been arrested. We saw a bit of the Reality Television program they had been on. And we heard him speaking to the fact that there were fights in their recent past. How might the film we have here be used . You have to think of this almost like any videotaped evidence that authorities might have in connection with the case. If they can demonstrate some sort of motive. If they can demonstrate a consistency of real problems and violence, for example. Again, we dont know if there was violence. The they could on that video, on that show, that would certainly being something they could use in connection with this trial.

Reporter his small boat capsized. Wichman was hanging on to the side, trying to get the line untangled from his leg, when he was pulled under 50 feet. I told myself this was it. I mean, if he kept pulling me, there was nothing i could do. Reporter finally, as he was running out of air, the fish suddenly stopped pulling. He was able to get to the surface.

Alarmed how heavyweight consumers can be fooled by fake photos hurting legitimate businesses. Big Companies Like Weight Watchers offer support groups that help people stick to their longterm goals. Those are mostly reputable. But there are a lot of shady ads out there. Reporter 36yearold dixon demonstrated how he can fool the eye.

Same body, different impression. If you look at an after picture and the person is younger, tanner, not slouching, if theyre leading with their bellies in the before picture, those photos arent telling the whole story. Weight loss success comes down to diet, exercise and sustainability. And you need a longterm plan. People need to be aware that this is a possibility when theyre looking at those aftershots.

An animal control officer was called to rescue a barking dog stuck in a ravine. There, to her surprise, she found goldie protecting a 1monthold kitten. Goldie had been nursing to feed the kitten. But the story gets even better. Local media caught word of the rescue. And a couple came forward that had lost a similar dog and cat pair several years before.

As we get back with the heat index here. The top stories trending this morning. And we begin with the fallout from the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal anew. So many people asking so many questions this morning. Some of those, linsey davis, about exactly what is cheating . Right. And is texting really cheating . And thats what a lot of people are wondering. If youve actually never met the person, as in the case of weiner, where he was just texting an alleged stranger. Thats a question that were going to get to ultimately. And last night, his wife, huma abedin, not by her husbands side at the event. But in the oped for harpers bazaar, she tried to answer the question why she is Still Standing by her man. Were going to build jobs for people. Reporter overnight, Anthony Weiner, hitting the campaign trail without his wife, huma abedin. But its huma and her words of forgiveness i love him. I have forgiven him. Reporter that now have become for some of us the real story, even overshadowing her husbands mayoral campaign. She was way too nice in that thing. He needs to be married to judge judy. Reporter from tv. Would you continue to stand by your man . Reporter to the streets of new york. I said to myself, seriously . Seriously . How can she stand in front of all those people and try to make right of it . Reporter and of course, on twitter. Women around the country, now wondering how abedin could forgive weiner for yet another sexting scandal . A woman cant win in this situation. If she doesnt show up, shes a disloyal wife. The guy has behaved so badly, that theres nothing for a wife really to do. Reporter the other question on so many minds this morning. Do explicit emails, texts and tweets, like the ones weiner sent, even count as cheating . Our expert says the answer is clear. Whether it is with words, whether its with your body, and whether its with your sexuality, its considered an affair when you are interacting with another human being in secrecy. Reporter in an essay for harpers bazaar, written before weiners most recent revelation, she says, new yorkers will have to decide for themselves whether or not to give him a second chance. I had to make that same decision for myself, for my son, for our family. And i know in my heart that i made the right one. In an email to supporters, weiner kind of answers why it happened after we assume it had stopped. He wrote, it was a terrible mistake that i unfortunately returned to during a rough time in our marriage. After a lot of reflection, some professional help and a general reorientation of my life, huma has given me a second chance. Okay, linsey, some head shaking here in the studio. We want to welcome relationship coach donna barnes. We see a lot of people are asking this question. I cant imagine a lot of people are answering it differently, though. Except that i think its a personal choice for everybody. People have open relationships. So, i think the secrecy part is the part that makes it cheating. But theres many different kinds of intimacies. Theres emotional intimacy. Theres sexual intimacy. Theres physical intimacy. So, he was doing the sexual intimacy with someone else, but not the physical or probably not the emotional intimacy. The one thing that struck me especially at the press conference, she, huma abedin, does go out of her way to say, essentially, i know many of you think differently, but ive decided to forgive him and move on. Personal choice. Theres some ownership there. Yeah. And i think the fact they have a child together has a lot more to do with that also. But heres the thing. I mean, as a person, she thinks hes a good human being. And behavior can be changed. And, quite frankly, i think its a sexual addiction. I think thats a process to change. I totally agree with you. I think that theres this clearly, to be in a relationship with me, this would have to change. I would have to step out of boundary and say, im uncomfortable with this and you need to work on it. Exactly. Its out of bounds. Why is it the wife is getting a lot of heat here. And some are saying, why is he put her in this position . Running for mayor. And its just yeah, and thats the unfortunate part. It sounds like they made that decision a year ago. And this happened a year ago. Its a little inopportune that this came out now. Its the second time. It just happened. But also, this isnt just one that made him leave office. He did it again that speaks to the addiction. Its like that alcoholic. Hes having a hard time the. Thats probably the way he found comfort. Not appropriate. But looking for comfort. And donna barnes, thank you. Author of giving up junk food relationships. Terrific stuff. Thank you.

Reporter delaneys mom has reportedly spent 200,000 to fuel her daughters career. Im not using my mom. My moms not making me do this. But that was our choice, together. As mom and daughter, and as best friends that she would be my manager and i would be her artist. Reporter for Good Morning America, Abbie Boudreau, abc news, los angeles. Wish them all the best. It often doesnt end so well. But again, we wish them all the best. Speaking of ending well, however, a High School Basketball coach inspired by nba center jason collins. This is a story i was looking forward to bringing you. He was the first openly gay athlete to play in a major american sport. He turned his struggling team into playoff contenders. Did this coach. But his biggest battle was being true to himself. 35yearold Anthony Nicodemo has been coaching Boys Basketball for 16 years. Virtually his entire adult life. But when he arrived at saunders high in yonkers, new york, he found a team lost, struggling to find itself. Now, the kids are playoff contenders. The kids are like family. Hes like a mentor. A father figure. We really look up to him. He gets very involved in their lives. He keeps them in line. Reporter and yet, the biggest obstacle for coach nicodemo was not keeping his team in line or even taking that team to the postseason. That was my demon. You know what . Im supposed to be this guy thats always honest. And im not 100 honest. Reporter nicodemo had been keeping a secret for years. Hes gay. And he needed to be honest with his team and himself. The one person you cant con is yourself. And i said to the guys, the storys going to come out tomorrow about me being a gay High School Basketball coach. Reporter gay coaches in sports are still rare and rarer still at the high school level. But the kids jumped right in with their support. First, the mouths dropped open. But we were talking. We started talking. They started applauding him. And he said, do any players want to speak . I was the first to jump up and start speaking for him. Reporter and the school is standing by their coach, as well. I think it is a learning experience. And i think our students are more accepting. They understand. Reporter a leader for his team. And an example for his community. I think its important to break the stereotype. Keep moving forward on three. One, two, three. Keep moving forward. This generation is something else. Just what he said at the end. The students, theyre okay. Yeah. You watch the team. Okay. We got your back. Yeah. Its wonderful. And part of being a great leader is teaching people what life will be like. And youll be interacting with people that are very different from you all of your life. And you need to be loving and accepting. And of yourself. First and foremost. Congratulations to that coach. Feeling good. Speaking of feeling good what are you guys still doing here .

Linsey sat down with the iconic tv mom and oscarwinning actress, who shared her secrets of the Shirley Partridge days. And i heard some of this. Youre not going to believe this. There was a little eyebrow raising. If you think Shirley Jones is just like some of the characters she played, mrs. Partridge or marian the librarian, think again. This her autobiography, she gets graphic about past sexual exploits. Hers and her first husbands. Hello world theres a song that were singing come on, get happy reporter she was one of tvs most beloved mothers in the 70 the partridge family. I want to make sure your costumes impress tonight.

Jack dated men and women. He had an affair with cole porter. He told me about this, by the way. I was very aware of all this. But he loved women. Reporter she gives a behindthescenes look of her array of roles and costars, that included burt lancaster, marlon brando, and frank sinatra. Favorite costar . Gosh, its hard to say. I loved so many of them. I think burt lancaster. Reporter best kisser . Burt lancaster. That might explain why i liked him so much. Reporter but perhaps the most shocking admission of all from the smalltown girl from pennsylvania, who on her very first audition, managed to grab the attention of rogers and hammerstein, is this. What struck me is when you say, i still sometimes wish i had taken a different path and never gone into showbiz, but followed by dreams of becoming a veterinarian. Why . Im a nut about animals. I was given a gift. Reporter a book about her life as a vet would have been far less interesting. Guys, i will never look at mrs. Partridge the same. My, my, my.

Good point. You put a hit on his daughter. Thats right. Wait. No. You want i didnt like it. Oh. How did you know there was a pool down there . I didnt. Thankfully there was. You mention immortality.

Another viewer wants to know, have you ever been in a bar and had someone want to fight wolverine . Actually, no. I was expecting that. I wondered if there were a few people that would want to pick a fight. Theyre thinking about titanium claws. Exactly. My favorite is when i see 6yearold or 7yearold kids. They have no idea its fake. Their parents are like, take a photo with him. And theyre freaking out. Terrific. Its the sixth. Theres a seventh on the way. The wolverine. Hugh jackman, thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. And coming up here, wolverine opens friday. Spike mendelshon, with all of the fixings, live in times square. [ cheers and applause ] were back. Hes a celebrity chef and a top chef. Spike mendelsohn is here. And youre going to show us great stuff with steak because it smells amazing here in times square. You just got a brandnew restaurant open called bearnaise. Opened a brandnew restaurant. Its a bistro but not a big menu. Its inspired from france. What is it about the french bistro . Its my first choice to go to a restaurant. Its wholesome and comfortable. And the food is tasty. Its what people want to eat. And theyre very used to it. I think bistros are coming back in full force these days. Im excited about the steak replays. Were excited to eat what youre cooking. One of the bistro items we have for lunch because i eat steakfree for lunch. We take a steak tartine. Its like an openfaced sandwich. Im going to spread some of the garlic aoli here. It lets you get to the meat and everything. At the top of your mouth, where everything tastes so good, its open and available to you. And its less bread. And people dont want such a heavy meal all of the time. Use half of the bread. And caramelized onions over here. Nice bread. I like to use a compangne french bread. Use olive oil. Salt and pepper. And heres the money. Were going to slice. Oh, yes. How beautiful that is. Do it in slices like that. Slice as thing as you want and your can. You can grill this beforehand. You cool it down. Cook it up about mediumrare. And you just layer it. Killing me. If you have leftover steak from the night before, this is a perfect opportunity. Well take a little salad. Season it with salt and pepper. A little arugula on the top of that. My favorite. Vinegar, yes. Some pepper. Simple and delicious. Simple and delicious. You have lots of flavors and textures going on here. I dont like leaving vegetarians out at my steakfree place. We take the portobellos and grill them here. And we grill them. Portobellos are very steaky. They have the steak texture. We serve them up with fried brussel sprouts. All you can eat fries. Amazing. Go to goodmorningamerica. Com on yahoo to get all of the recipes. Well be right back. [ cheers and applause ] mr. Champion really well. Really, really, really well. Thanks very much.
