And good morning, america. It has happened again. The joy of normal life becomes a nightmare in seconds. That was the scene in nice, france, last night. Those thousands that gathered to celebrate Frances National holiday just after the fireworks some shots rang out then this truck mows down the crowd stretched out for more than a mile that was it right there. You saw the people running. You saw the horror leaving a trail of unspeakable carnage. The images are horrific. Here is what we know right now. The suspect was shot and killed on the scene. Officials are now searching for accomplices. At least 84 people were killed, including two americans, and at least 50 others were injured. Frances state of emergency now extended three months. It was supposed to end on july 26th. This is the fifth terrorist attack in france since january of 2015. State of emergency continues there. We have Team Coverage here and overseas. Starting with abcs Alex Marquardt on the scene in nice, good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, george. This attacker could not have struck at a happier or busier time. This is where it happened. You can see this entire waterfront has been shut down. This is called la promenade des anglais. The beaches have also been closed today as france tries to come to terms with this latest horror. At 10 30 p. M. Local time as 30,000 people took to these famous streets to take in a joyous fireworks celebration, commemorating Frances National holiday a white truck emerged. This video capturing it moving slowly at first, then quickly accelerating, aiming directly into the densely packed crowd killing and maiming scores of men, women and children. Screams of panic and terror echoing throughout this popular coastal city. You could see blood and bodies everywhere. Reporter the Truck Driving a little over a mile mowing down dozens like a bowling ball a witness said, as hundreds of others ran trying to escape. They were all screaming and everyone was running in every direction. My wife liken it to a zom dee attack. There were people literally diving to safety. They were screaming and everyone was running in every direction. Seconds later, this giant white van came bolting down this road at was just taking out people left, right and center. At this point we began to run because everyone was frantically running because we had no idea what was actually happening. Reporter panic spreading throughout the crowd as hundreds grabbed loved ones and ran, some people jumping into the sea to escape. We were just turning down alleys and kind of looking for somewhere that might be safe. We just assumed there were fireworks still going off but then really shortly after that i saw people running and, you know, we didnt at this point have any idea what we were running from. Reporter security on the scene fired at the truck riddling its cab and windshield with bullets finally stopping the bloody rampage and killing the gunman. [ speaking french ] reporter Law Enforcement on the scene described the truck as full of weapons and grenades. Frances president Francois Hollande telling his country the horror has once again hit and that france is under the threat of islamic extremism. Among the at least 84 dead were two americans, Sean Copeland and his 11yearold son brodie, the two austin, texas, residents were in europe on a Family Vacation which began in spain. A Family Member put out a statement saying, losing a loved one is hard no matter the circumstances, but losing a loved one in such a tragic and unexpected way is unbearable. A lawmaker for this region told french radio that there was someone on the street who actually jumped on to the truck to try to stop it and that was the moment that the police were able to shoot and kill the driver. And, george, just a short time ago the state department did confirm the deaths of that american father and son. They have offered their help and condolences. George. We offer those condolences as well. Thank you, alex. Brodie copelands Baseball Team posted this photo on facebook. They showed brodie in the French Riviera and they ask for prayers for the copeland family. We are joined now by another american who was on the scene, inga romanoff, shes in nice this morning. Inga, thank you for joining us. I know you were on that promenade when this all broke out. Tell us what happened. Thank you for having me. I was right on the promenade on the side where the truck was actually rolling through the crowd. At the moment when it was happening. And how far away were you when it started to come through the crowd . What kind of notice did you have . What kind of alert . It happened very quickly. It was literally split seconds. We were just heard the gunshots. The first gunshots and i started running. I looked back and i saw the truck going through the people right in a place where i was standing. Just seconds. So it was coming right towards you. About how fast was it going . He was actually accelerating, i think, or at least it seemed that way. He was definitely going over 60 miles an hour. It seemed very fast. And you actually had to jump out of the way . I dont think people had any time to jump out of the way. It was a very large crowd. It was right after the fireworks, everybody was still there and there was not enough space to even give each other way to run out of the way from the truck. I think some people probably could do that if they were on the fringe but i dont think anyone had much time to run away. If you are further down on the promenade where i was, maybe because we had we heard the gunshots so we had a little bit more notice but the people in the beginning of the promenade had no chance. So, at the beginning of the promenade, youre talking about an avenue where people are 10, 20 across completely packed in . You were asking how many people were around me yes, try to describe the scene. Let me tell you, within split seconds of hearing the gunshots, i started running. And the entire place seemed like a complete chaos. People were running in different directions, there were people all the way around me. There was so many of us that there was ill tell you im running and there was a lady right next to me. She probably stumbled and fell on the ground and nobody was even helping her. People kept running people just kept running over her and i was trying to pick her up so she could also run. It was complete chaos all the way around and i dont think people knew in which direction to run. It was not quite clear where it was safe. I think not maybe everyone saw the truck. I dont know but it was a little bit disorienting. I can only imagine how disorienting it was. How did you finally know you were safe . Where did you end up . Yeah, i cant i think, first of all, when i was on the other side of the road, as soon as i heard the gunshots i ran across away from the crowd and felt safer but i was still looking around to understand where the gunshots came from because i saw the truck pass by but i wasnt sure the attack was over. To me it was immediately apparent that it was an attack, it was not some sort of an accident, and i actually stayed right next to the scene. I was in a hotel where i could see the entire scene from and i just ran to the hotel as soon as i was in the hotel i felt safe. Were glad youre safe this morning. Inga, thank you for sharing your story with us. And now, of course, the focus now on the investigation. We know that french investigators desperately trying to determine who was behind this attack and whether isis was involved or not. French president hollande saying france as a whole is threatened by islamist terrorism and abcs chief investigative correspondent brian ross is here with the very latest. So, brian, what can you tell us about the suspect . And who may have been behind this . Well, good morning, amy. As of this hour theres been no claim of responsibility for what happened in nice but online followers of isis have been celebrating the deadly attack. French media this morning are identifying the suspect as a 31yearold frenchtunisian whose apartment is being searched at this hour. U. S. Officials this morning say isis is certainly the leading candidate given their huge ranks of french recruits and repeated calls for just such a vehicle attack. French recruits are estimated to be some 1700 french citizens believed to have gone to iraq and syria to join terror networks, mostly isis. Many have been killed and others have returned to france with numbers so large french authorities have been unable to keep an eye on so many suspects and, again and again isis has sent messages to its followers about using vehicles to attack, quote, according to one spokesman, if you are not able to find an ied or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving american, frenchman or any of their allies, smash his head with a rock or slaughter him with a knife or run him over with your car and on and on. Simple, unsophisticated weapons. But very deadly. You heard the directives. Americans, frenchmen. What are the implications back here in the United States . The u. S. Is a top priority target which offered american recruits similar encouragements. Counterterrorism officials are looking at closely the tempo of the attacks in the west. It was just two weeks ago that an isisdirected attack was carried out at the airport at istanbul, turkey, and two weeks before that it was the isis inspired attack at the nightclub in orlando, florida. So far more than 400 people have now been killed by isis attacks on western targets, not including nice and, of course, thousands, thousands more in syria and iraq, slaughtered by isis, amy. All right, brian, thank you. Okay, lets take this now to the white house. Jon karl is there. Our chief white house correspondent. Of course, jon karl, as soon as this happened president obama has been working so closely with france on this. He was briefed almost immediately after the attack and directed the white house to offer any assistance to french authorities with that investigation. The president later issued a statement saying, quote, on behalf of the american people, i condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in nice, france. We stand in solidarity and partnership with france, our oldest ally, as they respond to and recover from this attack. Secretary of state john kerry was actually in paris just hours before the attack attending a bastille day parade with french authorities. Hes directed the state department to try to account for all americans in nice urging them to contact the consulate and, of course, to directly reach out to their families and friends. Okay, thanks very much. Lets turn now to abcs chief Global Affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz who has the very latest on the war on terror and where things stand in the fight specifically against isis. Good morning, martha. What can you tell us . Reporter good morning, amy. As you know, the u. S. And coalition have been pounding syria, pounding iraq. Were about to send more than 500 more troops into iraq to try to retake mosul, the iraqis have retaken fallujah and theyve retaken ramadi but, as they squeeze the isis fighters in iraq, in syria, these attacks go beyond the border and thats the real problem here. They have to keep up with the intelligence. They have to find out who is returning to france, who is returning to these other countries, and theres a real strain on Law Enforcement and intelligence. Amy. All right, Martha Raddatz with the latest, thank you. And, of course, amy, those deadly attacks overseas are raising Big Questions about safety on soft targets at home. As brian suggested. Abcs senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas tracks Homeland Security and, pierre, concerns here especially high with both political conventions coming up. Yes, george, Law Enforcement has identified no specific threat in connection with those conventions but i can tell you theres deep concern just because of all the pace that were seeing. Just yesterday fbi director and Homeland Security secretary jeh johnson were expressing their worry about the potential things could get out of hand mainly because of groups with polarizing views that may descend on each convention. My sources tell me that leading into the conventions, that this is perhaps the most volatile and complicated security picture in recent memory. And it comes against the backdrop, as weve talked about so many times, pierre, with new warnings and alerts from isis to all of their followers, just attack whoever you can, wherever you can. Reporter the short answer is that theres real risk. We saw San Bernardino last december and only about a month ago as brian mentioned the orlando massacre when a madman inspired by isis killed 49 people and wounded another 53. I can tell you that ive been talking to security sources last night and this morning and theyre locked in on whats happening in france in part because as we said, were only days away from the start of those conventions where there will be very large crowds, george. Pierre thomas, thanks. All right, the attacks overseas affecting the entire race for the white house. Donald trump set to name his running mate this morning, sources telling abc news hes asked indiana governor mike pence, but now hes postponed that announcement and abcs tom llamas is at trump tower with the latest. Good morning, tom. Reporter amy, good morning. Campaign sources tell me that donald trump is likely to make announcement this morning probably in a tweet that hes rescheduled his News Conference to unveil his vp pick. This would end the vp Selection Process like we have never seen before and it also would launch the new team. Sources maintain to abc news that the pick remains governor mike pence. This morning, donald trump not ready to show his cards. Republican sources told abc news trump offered the job to indiana governor mike pence and pence boarded a plane, flew to new york thinking he had accepted. How do you feel . Reporter but as we caught up with pence at a Manhattan Hotel trump said this in an interview. Mike has done a great job as governor of indiana. You look at the numbers and its been great, you know. Hes done really a fantastic job but i havent made a finalfinal decision. Reporter trump also canceling his big News Conference to announce his running mate citing the tragedy in france. And out of respect for this horrific situation, i just think it was inappropriate to have the News Conference tomorrow. Reporter though trump could change his mind. All signs still point to pence. The firstterm governor is a 57yearold establishment republican who is a bornagain christian. He served as a member of the u. S. House of representatives for more than a decade and is a former radio and Television Talk show host. In apparently selecting pence, trump chose someone who is very untrump and there could be a rocky honeymoon ahead. I do strongly disagree with the call that would ban muslims from this country. I found it both offensive and unconstitutional. Reporter pence has had major disagreements with trump and he supports the transpacific partnership. Trump opposes it. And this week pence seemed to dodge a direct question if he supports trumps plan to build a wall along the southern border. As president Ronald Reagan said a nation without borders is not a nation. Reporter pence told me he could still work with trump even though he doesnt agree with him on everything. How do you share that ticket if you have a fundamental disagreement with him on the muslim ban . Well, look, i served in congress for 12 years. Ive been a governor for 3 1 2 years. I havent agreed with every one of my republican colleagues or democrat colleagues on every issue but im supporting donald trump because we need change in this country. Reporter now, all this drama leads up to the Rnc Convention which is next week. So much talked about who will speak at this convention. Trump said he wanted some athletes and others reported that tim tebow was going to speak at the convention. Well, yesterday, tebow took to instagram and posted a message saying that he wasnt going to speak at the Rnc Convention, that those were all rumors. He also said, lets forget our quarrels and differences and come together one nation under god. Amy and george. Okay. Thats the message of tim tebow and i think mike pence likely to be well received by that convention. Now lets go over to ginger for the weather. Did you guys see this one . The severe thunderstorm that rolled through new york city in the afternoon hours and you probably didnt see it from this perspective. That is a timelapse of that storm. Fortunately not as much damage here but look what happened with the severe storms almost 300 reports stretching across the nation. Little rock, arkansas, trees were down into homes and cars, more than 125,000 customers were without power at a point and thats a problem because it gets hot again today and then you dont have airconditioning. And nowhere to cool off. Potential for more strong winds along 70 and 35 in kansas and oklahoma. I am drew tuma, with the an weather forecast, poor air quality inland with relief in heat in the lowtomid 90s, 84 in san jose, tonight, the calm with most spots in the 50s, a few spots will hold around 60.

Youre looking at the scene of that deadly terror attack in nice, france, overnight. More than 80 People Killed including 2 americans. At least 50 injured after that truck plowed through crowds gathered to celebrate Frances National holiday, bastille day, their july 4th. And that suspect killed on the scene, a state of emergency extended in france. This is the fifth terrorist attack there since january 2015 and the world is responding this morning. Buildings around the globe lit up in solidarity including the omni hotel there in dallas. We will have much more on all of that just ahead. And we will start out on the scene in nice, france, abcs Alex Marquardt is there. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, george. This attack happened as 30,000 people were packed on this waterfront. This is called the promenade des anglais. Around 10 30 p. M. , when that Fireworks Show was wrapping up, witnesses say that a large white truck drove onto the road that goes along the waterfront and driving in a zigzag fashion. One eyewitness said, it was like a bowling ball crushing everything in its path and heres a glimpse of what that moment was like. It was sheer terror because there was everyone screaming on their phones. There were people crying. It was just honestly the most terrified ive ever been. Reporter the Police Responded quickly firing bullets into the truck, killing the driver. French media reporting that he is 31yearold Mohamed Bouhlel he does have a record of petty crime but no known ties to terror. They have searched his apartment this morning. The state department confirmed among the 84 killed were 2 americans, a father and son from austin, texas, their names sean and brodie copeland. Just a short time ago frances president arrived here. Amy. Alex, thank you. And joining us now from nice, france, Mark Krikorian, he was in his apartment, hes traveling there with his family when he heard the commotion outside. Mark, thank you for being with us this morning and tell us what you saw, what happened . I know you had just been at the fireworks display with your family and had just gotten home. They were just like the fourth of july, everything was normal, lots of people kids on their shoulders, and then when it ended, i turned around, a lot of people did and started leaving, but there was musical performances continuing so a lot of people were staying. And as soon as i got back to my apartment, which is just a couple of blocks away, right outside our window which overlooks a pedestrian mall with cafes and, you know, stores and things, we started to hear screaming. I mean hysterical screaming, running, people knocking tables over, glass shattering, and we looked out people are obviously running for their lives. I assumed it was some kind of shooter or some kind of attack. I mean thats the obvious thing and my kids were gawking out the window. I told them to get away from the window because i didnt have any idea what was going on and then, once things settled down right outside my window, i much to my chagrin went out to see how close i could get to see what was going on and the police had a police line set up so i couldnt get right to where the actual carnage was but you could see not just all of the Police Presence and everything but a constant flow even two hours later there were still ambulances arriving, presumably from farther away, and then the most grim thing i saw was a whole convoy of minivans from the nice city Coroners Office arriving to do their work. Mark, i cant imagine walking out into this beautiful promenade and just moments ago you were there celebrating bastille day and then to see what you saw, can you describe what you were feeling, thinking, as you witnessed all of this . You know, before we came, i actually had kind of researched whether there were going to be largescale crowd events here in nice as the kind of thing that would attract terrorists and the european soccer finals had just finished, they had several of the matches here but that was weeks before we got here and i figured, well, thats okay, you know, i completely overlooked the idea that bastille day, of course, is a huge event everywhere in france. Its their big fourth of july, and so, yeah, i mean i was actually not all that surprised once i found out what happened. Thats certainly a side commentary in the times we live in. As a father, youre there with your family, youre traveling in france, a lot of americans traveling to europe this summer with their families. How do you feel about having your family there . Do you want to get back to the states . What do you say to other travelers who are headed there in the next days and weeks to come . Well, i mean, we have two weeks left on this apartment and at this point nice is the safest place in all of france. I mean, theyve got soldiers and police every place, so im not going anywhere. You cant predict this kind of thing. Its, you know, its just its going to happen. You cant put your life on hold just because of the just because of the possibility of this sort of thing. Look, i live in washington, d. C. , and every day i go to work theres a possibility Something Like this could happen. You cant paralyze yourself because of it. Well, Mark Krikorian, we are glad that you and your family are safe. Thank you for joining us this morning. Thank you. George. Okay, amy, lets get more on this now from matt olsen, the former direct of the National Counterterrorism center, and ray kelly, the former commissioner of new York City Police. Thank you both for joining us. Matt, let me begin with you. The french are assuming at this point this man had accomplice, huge truck, guns, explosives, even though he was the only person caught right now. This is a pretty sophisticated operation. It does look relatively sophisticated. We dont know yet whether this is an individual acting as a lone wolf or whether he had accomplices but there has to be real concern among french authorities that there are others involved so a priority is going to be, can we find out are there others . Look at the once we identify this individual who is he connected to and, indeed, whether there is a connection back to isis or some other terrorist organization. And then the question is right now we also have seen a pattern, as brian was talking about in our last half hour, over the last month or so, istanbul, orlando and now this as well. As isis gets squeezed on the battlefield in syria and iraq theyve put out the message to all of their followers simply to attack with whatever weapons they have at hand. How do you defend against that . Very difficult. I think its a really important point that they have been squeezed. They are under pressure in their sanctuary in syria and iraq so we can expect perhaps that the pace of these types of attacks, whether theyre lone wolf attacks or small numbers of people carrying out these attacks in the west, may well increase, and theyre very difficult to defend against. And ray kelly, you have had that job here in new york as the new York City Police commissioner. I was thinking, you know, july 4th here everyone down on the east river, the same kind of crowds. How do you defend a crowd like that . With great difficulty, no question about it. I think what youll see in the short term throughout the country, the police will do more truck stops but, lets face it, truck traffic is sort of the lifeblood of the commerce of this country. Its very difficult to slow it down appreciably so, intelligence is ultimately the key, anything that you can get that indicates someone like this, of course, would be helpful but i know we talked about the message before that was put out, this Abu Al Adnani put this message out in september of 2014. Do what you can, smash their heads with a rock, that sort of thing. That message has been tweeted or retweeted perhaps over a million times so that is the exhortation thats going out and its going out every day and this, i believe, is the manifestation of that message. Ray and matt, thank you very much. Back to amy. Coming up next, how you can protect your family in socalled soft targets like the one in nice and donald trump and Hillary Clinton react to the attack. How it could impact the race for the president. And the president and the people. Obama takes on tough questions about race and justice. That is all when we come back in two minutes. Two minutes. Just fifteen minutes and a little imagination are all you need to make summer magic. Chex party mix. Its what summer is made of. But can your multivitamin to be healthy. Do more for your immune health . Now one a day has the first multivitamin with probiotics to support the 70 of your immune system thats found in your digestive tract. New one a day with probiotics. Your multi with more. Time time for our big board and team of insiders standing by with more of todays top stories beginning with the terror attack in nice. That truck barreling through a crowd celebrating bastille day, a gruesome reminder of just how unfortunately easy it is for a terrorist to attack a socalled soft target, and brad garrett is joining us now, and brad, obviously authorities in france had to know bastille day was a big event but still unable to secure the event. What can police do better next time around . I think, amy, what youre going to see in these open air events where roads are just physically going to have to be blocked maybe not with police but with jersey barriers, or some concrete apparatus, to keep trucks and vehicles from moving through a particular area. Its not perfect but i think youre going to see more of that. Thats one thing that police can do, brad. But we cant just stop living our lives as Mark Krikorian was saying to amy earlier. So, what can people do when theyre in a situation like this, theyre at a ball game, theyre at a fireworks display, what can they do to help protect themselves, give themselves a better chance . George, there are a number of things. One, when you walk into a football stadium or an event, or an open market, you look at ways you can move if, in fact, something would happen. In other words, to your right, to your left, because the first thing you look for is cover. If you dont get hurt at the initial attack, look for cover. Get behind something. Then you have to think is this a safe place, do i need to get away from this target . And keep your wits about you and begin to move. Go to doorways, but go away from ground zero and keep moving. Thats going to be the real key. Go ahead. I was going to say the key is then to plan ahead. When you walk into any event you say where are the exits and to know what you would do, its sad we have to think about these things. Do you tell your children this as well . Does everyone in the family need to have a plan . Absolutely. This has to be a group effort and you have to keep your wits about you. Im not suggesting people get paranoid, amy, but the key is youve got to act. You cannot just stay there and be horrified. Move. Bottom line, keep moving. Exactly. Okay, brad garrett, thanks very much. I want to bring in Kristen Soltis anderson right now to talk about the political impact. We see donald trump right there with newt gingrich. Both donald trump and Hillary Clinton have taken to social media after the attacks. Clintons campaign tweeting, every american stands in strong solidarity with the people of france. And also donald trump tweeted his prayers and condolences to the victims and families. So, kristen, whats your sense of how much this is going to impact the race for the white house . Its becoming kind of a weekly occurrence. Itll continue to drive the issue of security to the top of voters minds. Its already caused donald trump to postpone the announcement of his vice president. During the Republican Convention, theres going to be a night that is themed security night. And certainly, youre going to see this become an even bigger topic of conversation in coming weeks as voters get more and more concerned about their own safety. We know that donald trump takes to twitter oftentimes to make his comments and he tweeted last night, another horrific attack. This time in nice, france, many dead and injured. When will we learn . It is only getting worse. Do you think tweets like this affect his campaign . Well, according to abcs recent polling, Hillary Clinton is the one that is slightly more trusted on the issue of terrorism. But theres certainly a chance that voters are saying, weve had enough. Were sick of this. We want to try something new and donald trump always has a message that is a little more visceral. A little more emotional in his response in terms of channeling the anger around these terrorist attacks. That may resonate with voters. Yeah, we saw that help him in the primaries. Okay, kristen, thanks very much. Now we turn to the president. The president and the people last night, of course, a national conversation. President obama taking on the issue of race and policing at a town hall that aired right here on abc last night. Matt dowd is joining us now and, matt, i want to take a look at the some of the incredibly emotional moments from last night. The son of alton sterling who was killed in baton rouge by two White Police Officers gave an impassioned plea to the president. Lets take a listen. I ask that you keep all of these families and my family safe and the people and the rest of the good Police Officers safe from bad people and bad Police Officers. What an incredible moment there and then president obama also later talking about consoling children who have lost their fathers in recent shootings. Lets listen to his response. I can tell you the grief is the same. The loss is the same, and when im hugging those kids and telling them its going to be okay, the only way i can deliver on that promise is if we make sure that all of us are looking out for all of those children. Important to hear the personal impact of these National News stories. Matt, what were your impressions from last night . I thought the event was, you know, an outstanding event by the president. I think these are really important especially with everything going on in the globe. When everybody feels like theyre in conflict and theres fighting going on to give a sense that actually were more in agreement on things than in disagreement on things, its not separated into black and blue and red and blue. Its basically people, conversations around their table, the same thing the president was doing last night. I think its a good first step but hes going to have to do more to prove out the substance of what was in the conversation last night. Do you think that same kind of message thats coming from the president who is not running for reelection, do you think that same kind of message will resonate from the candidates . Its not exactly what were seeing. I think actually, george, you fixed on a point thats important to make. I think the president can do this and bring the country together in a community. I think what people are looking from the candidates is actually strength, toughness and steadiness in the course of this, especially after what happened in france last night, and i think thats what theyre going to be focused on. The president and the community, i think theyre looking for the president ial candidates is who going to be strong and tough enough in a globe out of control. Thank you all very much.

Exs and the oh oh ohs they haunt me like ghooosts they want me to make em all elle king, exs ohs and shell be here live in just a little bit. Cant wait for that. But were going to turn to that parenting alert about pokemon go. You know, millions are having fun with it but it could be putting some kids at risk when they wander into dangerous areas and earlier this week Police Arrested a paroled sex offender for playing the game with children. So now the makers of pokemon say they are working with the National Center for missing exploited children to help keep kids safer and Callahan Walsh is here from the center to explain how. Welcome, callahan. Thanks for being here. Thank you very much. What are you doing . Weve been partnering with pokemon for awhile now in helping them craft policy and make sure that their game is safe as possible. You know, pokemon wants they came to you. Yes, they did. Yeah, weve had a long relationship with pokemon for awhile now and its not just with pokemon go but with their tournament networks as well. They have these real world tournaments with the cardplaying game as well and want to make sure kids are safe whether playing the card game in the tournaments or theyre playing pokemon go. We heard from new York City Police commissioner bill bratton who said he is concerned about the risks for all players not just children. Lets take a listen to what he had to say. That craze is one of the stupidest ones that ive seen, dont understand it, dont intend to understand it. It has no appeal to me and at the same time people are putting themselves at great risk being lured into certain neighborhoods that they have no knowledge of that neighborhood and subjecting themselves to potentially being victims of crime. Spoken like a true new yorker, i have to say, but how do you use this craze to start a larger conversation about safety . Yeah, well, we want parents to use this as a teachable moment. You know, the rules that apply to keep kids safe whether walking to or from school or at the bus stop will be the same rules that keep them safe while playing pokemon go. We want parents to make sure that theyre supervising their youngest children but the older children, theyre empowered with safe and smart decisionmaking. And theres a technological ripple effect. Yelp is launching a new feature to help pokemon fans find good spots to play. What are some of the tools that parents can use, as well . Yeah, so, if parents log in with the Pokemon Trainer Club account, they can use parental controls, there are some other safety features as well. Theres also a form that players and parents can fill out if they think a pokestop or a gym is in an unsafe location and pokemon will remove that from the game. Kids should follow four specific rules when playing the game. We use the four rules of personal safety. Check first, check with your parent first before goinf anywhere and playing pokemon go and use the buddy system. Take a friend. Thats rule number two. Always great to go in numbers. Number three is tell people no. So many kids are taught to respect their elders and this and that but, if someone makes you feel sad, scared, confused or uncomfortable, kids have the right to say no and they need to be told that they can say that. Lastly that if Something Like that does happen to tell a trusted adult. All of that makes good sense. Im glad you guys are partnering with pokemon go, great stuff there.

I resigned myself to being a chubby mummy. But gillian was in a bad place and after her third pregnancy she knew she had to take control of her life and make some major changes. I needed to stop being a bystander and be a role model and i had not been that for several years. She realized that she was addicted to food hiding and hoarding food, even spraying her car to mask the odors. Anyone can lose weight. But in order to be successful at keeping it off, you must truly understand why you gained the weight in the first place. Reporter alex just loved to eat. I was not a big vegetable fan at all. Now i eat much more vegetables than i was eating. Eating a lot of fast food, candy, kingsize candy bars, juice, extra large fries. Anything extra large. Alex topped out at 310 pounds. I went from eating extra large stuff to now eating portioned food. That along with walking at first and then running did the trick. My plan is to definitely stick with it.

I top it with some Peanut Butter then im going to have my coffee, of course, before my workout, and then my postworkout shake is a little mixed through and a protein smoothie with spinach. And then for lunch im going to go ahead and have some ground beef with white rice and asparagus. Then for dinner its usually grilled chicken with some type of veggie. Thats all very doable and it looks incredibly delicious right now. Rebecca, i understand you changed your whole way of cooking and eating. Tell us what a typical day looks like for you. Absolutely, i had to reteach myself how to cook healthy. For breakfast i have egg white omelets with lots of veggies, and low fat american cheese, lunch, a big salad with grilled chicken and greek yogurt dressing. I snack on protein bars and lots of fresh fruit. One of my favorite dinners is to cook baked fish tacos. I top it with some cabbage slaw and some fresh crema and i drink a lot of water during the day. I actually cut up one whole lemon and put in my water jug and refill that all day long. Drink water all day. I see wine there too. So, after i drink my water one of my favorite things is to drink wine too so at night i always drink wine, as well. Thats good to know you can do that and still lose weight. You have to have a balance. Thats what im about. Speaking of water i understand you drink a lot of it. In fact we have a visual here.

Now though time for the final day of our fashion series, reinventing classics. This morning, it is all about the hottest item this summer, the offtheshoulder top and back again to show us how to put it together, did you like my backwards walk while i was talking . Did you see that . Good housekeeping style director lori bergamotto, thanks for being with us. Thanks so much. All right, so you are wearing the look and doing it very well. Thank you. So, this is the new classic, basically . It has evolved into the new classic. Amy, it started as a flash in the pan trend, the offtheshoulder top and now because it can be boho and a glam statement and because, of course, weve seen a lot of celebrities from zendaya to Julia Roberts to kate hudson wearing it, it has become the new classic largely in part because the last place we gain weight or age is our shoulders, so, ladies, show them off. We have ladies, three ladies that will show us different ways that we can wear the offtheshoulder top. Come on out, ladies. As theyre coming out, i want to tell you about the top that we chose. When youre looking for an offtheshoulder top, we picked this from h m and its 18 which is a great price and its because it reads as a neutral these like white and a seersucker kind of look. Exactly. So if we want to take take a look at our first model, she is polished and professional. You can wear this to work. You wouldnt think you could but she doesnt have it off the shoulders, right . Exactly. Thats the key here so look for a stretchy band like this one or get fashion tape for under 5 which is just like really strong double stick tape and stick it up on your shoulders, tuck it in, add a pointe toe pump. Add a really nice statement bag. It looks good. Isnt that amazing . You look fantastic. Then we know that overalls are a big trend. I wouldnt think you could pair the two but it works. A lot of times we say dont marry two trends but a way you can marry the overall trend with the offtheshoulder top and wear it just like you would but when you add the overalls to it, it becomes a casual, trdy vibe. We added a wedge and a fun bag and the thing to remember here is you dont just have to wear it with jeans, so you can wear it under a jumper, jumpsuits are really big right now. Anything where you can see the sleeves and acts as a layering piece is a really smart way to maximize the versatility of the top. All right. I like it. Then here is another way you can wear it off the one shoulder top. Hey. So this one we got a little diy and what we wanted to do here is manipulate the silhouette a little bit, so we gave her an asymmetrical top and tucked this sleeve into the shirt and put it in the back of her bra strap. Shes missing a sleeve, okay. So you just tucked it in. Do a nice the thing to remember this has so much volume you want a nice skinny jean on the bottom. All right. It looks great.

Do not drive, of course, into that water. Everybody gets stuck and then somehow is surprised and hopefully not hurt. But the rainfall is going to be heaviest as you go into southern parts of arkansas and northern louisiana. Also right there in parts of mississippi and along the coastal south and north carolina.

Theyre goofy and super fun. Reporter and i even learned some star trek secrets. People dont know what to do with their thumb. Its not in. You know, its not like that, and its not out.
