Alex, is this isis hitting back after experiencing some losses on the battlefield . Reporter good morning, dan. Well, in baghdad and istanbul, this is isis proving they can still wreak havoc in the middle east despite losing ground. In bangladesh, theyre showing that their influence around the world is growing claiming responsibility for this attack, the deadliest that country has seen in a recent wave of islamic extremist violence. A fuller picture emerging this morning of the deadly 12hour standoff at an upscale restaurant in bangladeshs capital. At least six gunmen had stormed this cafe on friday night taking dozens hostages armed with guns and explosives made no demands as they reportedly separated the foreigners from the locals.

Lara. All right, alex, thank you. And now we turn to the race for the white house and hillary was grilled by the fbi this weekend over her use of a private email server and donald trump on the attack but facing some backlash for his latest online posting. Abcs mary bruce is in washington with more. Good morning, mary. Reporter hi, good morning. Well, this is an interview that could change the shape of the president ial race as the fbi now inches closer to deciding whether Hillary Clinton mishandled classified information and whether charges should be filed. This morning, all eyes are on the fbi and when it will announce the findings of its investigation into Hillary Clintons emails. After being questioned for 3 1 2 hours clinton is looking to put the controversy behind her. Im eager to do it. I was pleased to have the opportunity to assist the department in bringing its review to a conclusion. Reporter clinton slipping out of her d. C. Home saturday heading for the fbi as they investigate whether she mishandled classified information on her private email server. The New York Post out with this holiday headline calling it the grillary. She says it was businesslike but the political damage may already be done. The scandal has plagued her campaign from the start fueling criticisms about her trustworthiness. Trump tweeted it is impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton. What she did was wrong and suggesting she sent bill to have the meeting with the usag referring to a private discussion last week between her husband and the attorney general on a phoenix tarmac. But it was this trump tweet using the jewish star of david to label clinton the most corrupt candidate ever that raised eyebrows and swift rebuke and trump later changing it to a circle.

New york city on edge after that explosion in central park. Theyre investigating right now after an 18yearold tourist was severely injured from a blast. He is recovering this morning and millions on alert for that Severe Weather we were just discussing as a Record Number of travelers hit the road and the sky, this holiday, facing flash floods, Flash Flood Watches from oklahoma to maryland. Ginger, as we mentioned tracking it all, determined to ruin the holiday for everybody. No. Im just kidding. We always blame her. Love you, girl. Sara haines in, doing a little pop news this morning. Happy fourth. Happy fourth. This is an unbelievable story. We have a really great hot shot. An army vet who rescued an eagle trapped in a tree using all of that excellent military training and that story is coming up sure to inspire. Nearly gave the eagle a heart attack. Well tell you about that coming up. But first here, a bitter custody battle over a 10yearold golf prodigy. In a new ruling the judge has sidelined this female phenom for the next year, that means no tournaments and a severely scaled back practice schedule. The girls father who is also her coach is calling it a major setback for this rising star and abcs t. J. Holmes is here with more. Good morning. Like you just said the girl is only 10 years old but get this for the past seven years of her life her parents have been fighting over her in court. This latest court order mentions things like schedule, visitation youd expect to see, but the part that is getting a lot of attention is the part that says she has to stop playing competitive golf. This little golfer cant compete for now. The 10yearold was ordered by a judge to stay away from golf tournaments for the next year. That decision is part of an ongoing custody battle between her parents thats now lasted seven years and it comes at a time when her dad mike vechery says her talent and career are flourishing. Just happens shes won i think 23 out of 33 tournaments in the last three years. Reporter vechery who caddies for his daughter and coaches her said he bought his daughter plastic clubs when she was just 3 and has developed into a promising prospect. As far as her skill level, shes in the top 10 in the nation. Shes ready to obtain a scholarship to college and here she is only 10 years old. Reporter but the judges Custody Order says among other things like who she spends holidays with that the child shall not be permitted to play competitive golf for one year and shes not allowed to take lessons with any golf pro. Her mother who did not comment on this has sole legal and physical custody for the child and the order doesnt lay out why she cant compete for the next year but vechery believes the judge thought she was playing too much golf. I think the judge thought shes playing five or six hours a day golf with me and thats completely false. Reporter vechery is appealing the decision hoping she wont have to take a year off and slow a career off to a stellar start. According to the judges order she can play some golf. Not competitive and she is allowed to play at least one round a week or five hours whichever is greater but, dan, in a situation like this, a nasty custody dispute so much emphasis is on the golf. Some would argue there are much bigger things than sports at play. Absolutely, this little girl caught in the middle. Thank you. Lets bring in abcs senior Legal Correspondent sunny hostin. Sunny, good morning. Good morning. Some are critical of the judge. You suspect theres more going on. There must be more because the Legal Standard is what is in the best interest of the child. This decision came after a full hearing and so and a trial so my sense is theres more to this story we havent heard from the mother even though weve reached out for comment and i suspect that the judge was trying to do what is in the best interest of the child, which is really what the standard is, so we dont really know why the judge was so restrictive in this ruling. No competitive golf for a year. The mother now has sole legal custody and she didnt have that before and the father also has to take anger management classes. That tells me there is something going on here. A lot of smoke perhaps. But the father does say that his daughter loves to golf. Will the daughter be consulted by the judge . Would that likely have happened. Well, thats the other interesting thing. Shes 10 years old but typically kids have attorneys representing them in these cases, guardian ad litems. The judge must have consulted with this child and perhaps the child doesnt want to play golf five and six hours a day and maybe she doesnt want to compete in these tournaments. I suspect, again, there is something more at play that we dont know about and the bottom line is, dont we want kids to just be kids . I mean she is 10 years old. Even if shes this phenom or this prodigy we want our children to have childhoods. I couldnt agree more. Sunny, i appreciate it. Lara, over to you. So true. We are going to switch gears now as millions of americans are hitting the roads this fourth of july, they will be sharing it with massive trucks that could roll over with deadly consequences. Now, though, there is technology designed to keep everybody safer. Were going to go back out to abcs alex perez with more. Reporter within seconds a massive semitruck can lose control. Causing chaos on the road. Look at that. Look at that. Reporter and for millions of drivers sharing the road with these heavy beasts it can turn deadly for them too. In april a new jersey teen was killed when a semi rolled over on to her car. In 2014 the d. O. T. Reports more than 410,000 accidents involving large trucks and that includes rollovers. Overturned semi. Reporter one technology that is helping to prevent that is electronic stability control which helps Truck Drivers maintain control during extreme steering. The government recently making this technology mandatory and heavyduty trucks manufactured on or after 2017. Immi a company that makes this equipment says even more can be done giving gma exclusive access to a rollover simulation to show how its technology called rolltech can help keep Truck Drivers safe. Trucks do roll over and they roll over frequently. In this case its the driver that were trying to protect and save their live. Reporter they strapped a dummy in the seat installing crash sensors and rigging the course with 29 cameras. Please make sure to stay behind the first set of barriers. Reporter watch as this speeding semi swerves as to avoid a car and then flips. That wouldbe driver cushioned from the impact by a side roll air bag. And from above you can see the aftermath. The tractor trailer completely flipped on its side. I think rolltech is a good step in the right direction in the sense that it is intended to move the occupant away from the roof and provide a side curtain to prevent partial ejection. These type of accidents occur and impact everybody. Reporter but for those millions of drivers on the road to stay safe experts say they should find a road with fewer trucks and take it. Keep an eye on swerving and speeding and avoid passing trucks on narrow roads. For good morning america, alex perez, abc news, converse, indiana. And coming up on our big board, will hollywood be saying goodbye to its lavish oscar parties . The new academy rules calling for a crackdown. And then, one of the biggest lottery jackpots in u. S. History is up for grabs on tuesday night. Can you increase your odds of winning . And back on the court at wimbledon, today Serena Williams with her 300th slam win, now fighting for her next big win. Well talk about that and the american superstar. A lot coming up on or big board in just two minutes. Welcome back. Time now for the big board. Our team of insiders here to take on todays top stories and were going to begin with new rules that could mean the end to a lot of those oscar parties that happen in hollywood. The academy is now cracking down on events that are meant to woo oscar voters. Joining us now to talk about it is larry hackett, former People Magazine editor in chief. Larry, will these rules work . I dont really think so. Heres what goes on. Winning an oscar is a political campaign, its no different than running for office. Starting in the fall studios start to have brunches and lunches and cocktail parties attached to screenings to make sure people see their movies. For some reason the academy has decided that they dont want any undue influence and theyre banning people not only from going but from getting invited to these parties. I find it mystifying. Theres no suggestion anywhere anybodys vote has been bought in the past so seems strange to do when so much more attention should be paid to the idea that the academy has hundred of new members that will make it more representative of the country. Larry, you have said this because itll cut down on your pigs in a blanket quotient or do you think there will be fewer parties or people will ignore the rules . I dont think theyll ignore them. Any studio doesnt want to jeopardize whats going on. I think these rules just came out and the idea of what the academy will do is uncertain. I dont think theyll police it but begin later and make or for low key but look around and say, are you having champagne and salmon at your party . So will we. The idea that the academy will stop this or penalize people seems highly unlikely. One of the rules said you had to show the movie. Right. But a lot of times, larry, i have seen you at parties and people might catch up with friends, have a pig in the blanket and then skip the screening. Exactly, because a theyve seen the movie already or want to meet with friends. Will they have police at the door to make sure youve seen the screening. I think what they really want to do is slow it down for fear that it could get out of hand as years went on. Larry, thank you very much. Best of luck to you in this minimized party environment. I know its going to be a hardship. Ill do what i can. All right, now to the growing Mega Millions jackpot. There was no winner friday. That means the jackpot for tuesdays drawing is an estimated 449 million. Joining us now, richard lustig, author of learn how to increase your chances of winning the lottery. Richard, good morning to you. You have won lottery game prizes seven times. Whats your advice to win . Whats the first thing you should do . The first thing you should do if youre fortunate enough to win a big grand prize is dont go out and party and buy fancy cars and just start spending money like crazy. The very first thing you should do is clear up all your debts. Take this seriously. So pay off your house, pay off your cars, pay off your credit cards. Clear yourself completely of debt and then get yourself a Financial Adviser that is experienced and has a good track record and have them set you up an Investment Program so that when you retire youre not living in a refrigerator box under a bridge. You know, youre living in a fancy Old Folks Home and theyre taking care of you. All right, lets not put the cart before the horse. Lets talk about how to win it. I know youve written a book and the odds are staggering. What is it, like 1 in 259 million chance of winning . Yeah. You have a lot of tips in your book and one of these tips is whether or not its better to go in on a pool or be a lone wolf . Tell everybody absolutely be in on a pool. Okay, its commonsense that a person that buys 100 tickets is going to have a better chance of winning than a person who only buys ten tickets. If youre in a pool youre buying in volume. Buying in volume increases your chances of winning but just make sure that you check out the pool. That its run properly, that everybody is informed of whats going on because theres a lot of lottery pools out there that are run very poorly. Yeah, great advice. All right, richard, we thank you very much. Got to get now to my favorite story of the morning, yes, wimbledon. It is called manic monday today because 16 rounds of 16 matches all being played today. Serena williams looking for her grand slam match win number 301. To talk about that and so much more, our pal patrick mcenroe. Thanks for being here, patrick. Lara, we miss you over here. Could you buy me a Lottery Ticket tomorrow, please. I cant do that over here. I will, and i will hand it to you in person when i get there. Youve seen some great stuff this week. Serena just made history with her 300th slam match making her second only to martina navratilova. How do you think it looks, she seems to have great momentum, is she going to go all the way . Well, it seems like every grand slam we pick serena so why not . Im going to pick her here. This is wimbledon. She loves the grass and had a very tough match over the weekend against Christina Mchale the Young American but she was in dominant form and shes taking on Svetlana Kuznetsova so it could be a test but i love the way serena is looking. Im predicting that shell win number 22, her 22nd career grand slam singles title that would tie the great steffi graf. Unbelievable. She is incredible. Lets talk about sam querrey, the american who upset Novak Djokovic. So many people talking about this match. You were right there. What happened . Well, i think sam had obviously the greatest match hes ever played. Hes a guy that struggled in big matches early in his career and to me he had been an underachiever on the mens tour. But he came out he went for his shots serving huge and something wasnt quite right with Novak Djokovic. The match halted with a twoset lead for sam querrey and it stopped because of rain, darkness, there were a lot of rain delays throughout the match. Djokovic won the third set easily. It looked like he was going to get it to a fourth set but, get this, he ran out of challenges late in the fourth set. That really cost him and sam querrey held his nerve a lot better than did djokovic in the fourth set tiebreak. After the match djokovic said something wasnt quite right with him but he would not elaborate so his run to try to win the calendar slam ends early on the grass at wimbledon. Shocking news and today i know youll have much more to report. We thank you so much, patrick. You can see all the action at wimbledon today. On espn and espnapp. Also streaming live on watch espn and the espn app. Our thanks to patrick, richard and larry. Coming up, our hot shot of the day. How one eagleeyed veteran helped to save a bald eagle. Keep it here. Time now for our hot shot this morning. The perfect story to share for the fourth of july. A bald eagle rescued by a veteran over the weekend. Jason galvin and his neighbors in rush city, minnesota, saw it dangling from a tree and his leg was stuck in a piece of rope wrapped around a branch, leaving the eagle hanging upside down 70 feet off the ground. It had been caught up there for two days but when they called for help everyone said theres really nothing we can do. Not giving up the army vet used his military training to untangle the eagle shooting down the branch the eagle was caught on, now, the rescue was Emotional Experience for him saying, quote, there were a lot of tears and when it finally came down it was breathtaking. It was a beautiful moment. The eagle is now healing at a nearby medical facility and picked up the nickname appropriately so freedom.

An executive at the top of her game stepping down from a billion Dollar Company to take care of her sister. She spoke with abcs juju chang about her tough decision and how shes helping others facing that same choice. Reporter she was a rare bird, a woman at the top of a billion Dollar Corporation on the fast track, but she walked away from it all leaving some in the Business World stunned. I still feel very comfortable as the day i did making the decision. Reporter christi shaw has held many lofty titles, wife, mother, the middle child of Three Sisters and the president of a massive Pharmaceutical Company but this summer shes embarking on her biggest job yet, caregiver. 2 1 2 years ago her older sister sherry was diagnosed with my loma, a potentially fatal bone cancer. Following that bleak diagnosis a sliver of hope, sherry was admitted into a Clinical Trial but the treatments far from her home would require full time care. Since my sister was diagnosed weve been in this journey together. Reporter with that in mind a nearly 30year career that reached the pinnacle of success was put on pause. It wasnt a difficult decision. My mother, unfortunately, had breast cancer, and my older sister took eight weeks caring for her. This decision was a logical step from a family perspective. Reporter so at 49 christie started a new path taking care of her sister. The socalled sandwich generation, unpaid care givers for other adults, its a role taken on by nearly 40 million americans, 60 of them women. I actually feel very lucky that im able to take this time because many times we go through life, and we just keep doing what we were doing because thats what weve always done. Reporter shes the first to admit that her work now will take getting used to. Sitting still is not something im great at. So waiting an hour and a half for a doctors appointment im constantly looking on email. Im working on just being in the moment. Reporter and while her future career track is still a question mark, this job is leaving a lasting impression. Im not sure if going back to work will be more difficult. I know that ive had a great career. But if i look back, the place that i need to be right now is with my sister. Reporter of course, her sister says when it comes to family, she hit the jackpot. Im just very, very lucky to have you as a sister in my life. Ditto. Reporter for good morning america, juju chang, abc news, new york. And joining us now with more on what to consider if you are becoming a caregiver, dr. Robyn silverman, author and developmental psychologist, robyn, good to see you again. Thank you. I thought it was so inspirational. There must be an emotional toll to pay. Here she is, shes made it in the Business World and, you know, the stats show it is, in fact, more women who end up becoming the caregiver. Talk about that emotional toll. Women are known for stuffing 25 hours into a day. We try to do it all, right . We try to do it all. For some this is going to be a very easy choice for them. For others there is a question if this job feeds their soul. Their passion or their family. They may be wondering how long can i take off and how long might i have with this person . Its an emotional toll. It sure is. Absolutely. And wrapping your head around it can feed my soul but in a very different way. It can define me. Absolutely. But in a positive way. Thats a real trick when youve been working and in her case in christies case youre at the top of your game. Yes, exactly. Its true. These people, not everybody is going to be in that same financial position that she is and shes very fortunate, and id say to our viewers, even if you dont think you can take the time off, talk to your boss and on a human level, ask your boss is there something i can do here . What are my options . Is there a way to secure my position in the company . And just ask on that human level. Theres also some great budget tools that they can use if it turns out that they need to take some time off. I bet. Talking to a boss on that human level, that expression is critical. I think so. Maybe one day from home just so you can spend a little more time. Exactly. Exactly. Can i work from home . Is there a way for me to maybe reduce my hours for a shorter period of time . You may not get all the time you want but you can get some time. And just lastly, any advice for people who are going to do this to be the caregiver. I would say every support er needs a supporter, so make sure you get that friend, can they pick up your kid . Can your spouse pick up some slack . Make sure youre taking care of yourself. Its the first thing to go and make sure that you stay healthy. Can you eat healthy foods, drink enough water. Blow off stress in productive ways. We need to be healthy if were going to take care of others. And these are very real tips because a lot of us will be facing exactly this. We will, we will. Robyn, thanks so much for being here. And coming up on good morning america, were going behind the scenes with ugly betty. We all love the show and they are back together just for us.

A lifechanging time that began in 2006. Such a special job for all of us. We were in different places careerwise. It was a show that was really important to all of us. I mean i grew up with these people when i was a child i grew up on the show too with betty and these people and i cant talk without crying. Whats wrong with me. Reporter nothing was wrong with America Ferrera as betty suarez keeping it real with her latino family in queens and adroitly swimming with the sharks at her magazine job. What did you think of me when i first arrived. I hated you of course. Reporter the bleeding heart energy bringing it to broadcast tv. Since i was 5 i felt like i was dropped in the wrong skin. Reporter like rebecca romijns scheming sibling. I think it was the first transgender character in Primetime Television and now we have laverne cox and its open i am obviously not a transgender person but it was an honor to get to play that role. Reporter no one made the ugly betty plot spoil like wilhelmina slater. Its almost scary how easy this is. You are evil. Reporter but vanessa williams, it turns out was a lastsecond edition to the cast in the read through i got a call its not working out. We need you tomorrow. Reporter what comes to mind for you at the way ugly betty broke ground. Every piece of advice betty gave to everybody else was the wisdom of the sages. If i was 10 or 12 or 15yearold girl that would be the show that could save me so from the getgo i was doing it for me. My little self who didnt get to see characters.

Capitol and a starstudded lineup and great fireworks. Its one of my favorite stages to walk out on. I know youve said in your book live tv is one of the most relaxing things you do. I do. You get offered a lot of shows. Why this one. Well, this one is apart from the fact that its live tv it is a celebration of who we are. Its a wonderful time to remember that we may be a dysfunctional family but we are a family and that just underscores that even at the birth of this nation it wasnt a bunch of guys in powdered wigs singing kumbaya. It was tough. You appeared 0en gma in a very large giant lifesize mirror ball which we saw you sneaking your drink and tried to bring that back today. We were not able to do that in i felt like human jiffy pop. You work with great people among them peta and maks. So excited to hear theyre having a baby. I cant imagine her pulling that off.

A mason jar, empty one, any kind of constrainer you had a like and take paint and dmru and tiny pieces of paper just like in what theyre doing down here . Just like what youre doing down here and plaster them all over the glasses and have this beautiful but functional thing you can display in the home and it is so great. You have four kids. I do.

Im not the craftiest person in the world. Is this for anyone . Absolutely.

You have to be smarter than dan harris to make it work. You do. Low bar. Low bar. I would not suggest doing that in a science one yeah. Very colorful. I think every parent has a drawer or box at home with crushed up crayons in it that havent been used in a while. Stubby ones. Fun way to repurpose them and learn about them as well. Take the crayons that are broken up and lay out eye crayons will melt together and when you take it out youll have this fantastic shop.
