Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20160909

Can the 29yearold make it to the majors . A hail mary from the onetime heisman hero. Look at me i can be in center field we do say good morning, america, on this friday morning. We made it to the end of the week and he is ready to play baseball, tim tebow signing a professional baseball contract with the new york mets. And hes going from the football gridiron to the baseball diamond. Only a few people have done that. Will he bring his famous tebowing to home plate . This thats what everybodys wondering. And take a look at this. Someone is having fun with the logo getting ready for tebow time. I dont know how happy a pitcher will be if he does that. Takes it very serious. I know its a long shot but im rooting for him. Great friend of this program. More is coming up. Lets get right to that breaking news. Successful nuclear test by north korea. They claimed it overnight, south korea confirms, and president obama briefed on his way home from the region and our Martha Raddatz tracking it all from washington. Martha, this is just the latest in a series of provocations from north korea. Reporter it certainly is, george. This overnight test is believed to be the biggest yet, resulting in the most powerful explosive yield ever produced in north korea and causing a magnitude 5 tremor. The announcement came on state tv, the anchor in traditional dress gleefully announcing the test as north korea celebrates the 68th year of its government. What is alarming about the test is that it shows steady progress. The first test in 2006 yielded the equivalent of only about 1 kiloton of tnt. This one is estimated at 10 kilotons and at the same time north korea continues to test Ballistic Missiles with an increasing range. They say their goal is to miniaturize a Nuclear Warhead and place it on a missile capable of reaching the u. S. They dont have that capability yet, george, but clearly that is the direction they are heading. And that is a huge danger. Its drawing an instant reaction from the u. S. And our rivals in the region. Reporter certainly, the president as you said was briefed on air force one. He had just concluded that asia tour. This morning, secretary of state john kerry and his russian counterpart expressing deep concern, but, george, there have been increasing sanctions and condemnation and it has not stopped north korea. So little we can do about them. Martha raddatz, thanks very much. Youre right about that, george. Were going to move on now to the race for the white house. 60 days until the election and Hillary Clinton and donald trump ramping up their attacks over National Security, emails and russia. Abcs cecilia vega, you know shes tracking it all for us this morning. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning to you, and those attacks still going. Hillary clinton gave a press conference and she said donald trump failed a test on National Security. Trump took to twitter and said clinton gave a, quote, very dumb answer about emails, both sides not letting up. This morning, a heated war of words over who is ready for the oval office. He is temperamentally unfit. And totally unqualified to be commanderinchief. Clinton is unfit to be your commanderinchief. Reporter after they faced off on National Security, Hillary Clinton in North Carolina blasting donald trump for lavishing praise on Vladimir Putin. Even taking the astonishing step of suggesting he prefers the russian president to our american president. It is scary. It is dangerous. Reporter and trump in ohio blasting clinton for the answer she gave about her emails. Every time she talks about the subject, its different. She got to get her act together. Reporter but now both sides facing fallout over that forum. Trump for this comment about the iraq war. I was totally against the war in iraq from you can look at esquire magazine from 04. You can look at before that. Reporter trump is actually on record supporting the war. And as for that esquire magazine article, in it trump called the war a mess but he never explicitly opposed it and the magazines editor now says trump is completely misrepresenting what he said. Clinton under fire for what she said about trumps public discussion of his classified security briefings. I would never comment on any aspect of an intelligence briefing that i received. Reporter but it turns out, when she ran for president in 2008, she too made Public Comments about receiving classified briefings. We finally were able to secure a briefing. It did not inspire confidence in our readiness to do this important task of withdrawing our troops and equipment. Reporter well, her camp says that clinton received a policy briefing versus trumps intelligence briefing and they say that comparison there is unfair. This post, very personal. What do you think the strategy is behind that . Weve seen these polls. Hillary clinton has a really likability problem and in this humans of new york piece she really tries to tackle this herself headon and says i know i can be perceived as aloof or cold or unemotional but i had to learn as a young woman to control my emotions. I think, robin, well see a lot more of this side of Hillary Clinton as we get closer to election day and trying to put a human face to this candidate. People dont know who she is still. Lets talk to matt dowd about that right now. Our political analyst. Matt, we see this as polls are tightening, not just the National Polls but more press conferences and that post that cecilia just talked about. A new ad out this morning where she talks about reaching out working with republicans. Theyve gotten the message 60 days out. Yeah, but i think its a smart move and i think its a smart move to sort of get an insight into Hillary Clinton but, george, theres two problems. Its not a oneday thing. You have to do it for 59 Straight Days to show this side of her because she is so familiar to the public. The second thing i call the Leonard Nimoy dilemma, which is, when you play spock for decades its a hard time getting the public to not see you as spock and that is a problem Hillary Clinton has. Thats true. Meantime, both candidates facing fallout from the National Security forum the other night, and donald trump really doubling down on that embrace of putin. Its causing some heartburn among top republicans. Yeah, obviously, its basically saying that barack obama isnt qualified, or isnt a leader, but somebody like Vladimir Putin who is basically a dictator over a country puts him in a real bind and Hillary Clinton made a good point when she said what would Ronald Reagan think of this . I think part of that problem in that forum for Hillary Clinton, donald trump had a visceral connection with the public. Hillary clinton had an intellectual connection with the public. But when you come down to vote most people vote viscerally not intellectually in an election like this. Meantime, you keep saying lets look at the fourway race including those independent candidates. Including gary johnson and jill stein. Gary johnson the libertarian candidate made a gaffe about syria. What would you do if you were elected about aleppo . About . Aleppo. And what is aleppo . Youre kidding. No. Aleppo is in syria. Its the epicenter of the refugee crisis okay, got it, got it. Okay. Kind of stunning there, matt, if that were donald trump or Hillary Clinton wed be shaking our heads, frontpage news, but you argue it might actually help gary johnson. Well, yeah, obviously its a stunning gaffe and should have known what it is. I think it will help him because part of his problem has been he cant break through and nobody is talking about him. Well, everybody is talking about him, and in a statement in the aftermath basically saying, yep, im a human being and i made a mistake. Im going to do better next time. The second thing, which is fascinating, this is the most weve talked about the tragedy in aleppo in a year, so by saying what is aleppo, we actually now have a better conversation about the tragedy going on in aleppo, so you got to give him credit for actually raising the issue in that way. Im not sure he meant to do it in that way but, matt, thanks. I dont think he meant it either, but im looking on the bright side. You can see the look on his face when he got the question. I know. Everybody is talking about aleppo. Now everybody is also talking about the heat this morning. Record temperatures possible for the northeast and ginger is outside tracking this late summer heat wave. What do you have . Im wearing the air this morning, michael. It is most certainly hot. We broke records yesterday. You can see this morning were already 81 here in times square so thats warmer than we should be for an afternoon high so weve got those heat advisories that september scorcher coming in. Its the humidity too. The numbers will go at least in the feelslike, 100 plus. Thats why the heat advisories are on and why schools are closing early around philadelphia and some are closed in maryland. Then we have to talk about the flash flooding, new point, indiana, up to 5 inches drowning cars there you can see and 9plus inches around wichita so flash flooding, our second story that will have a lot more coming up in a couple minutes. George. Okay, ginger, thanks very much. Were going to move on now to high drama in the french alps. Dozens of riders stranded in cable cars overnight suspended at an altitude of 12,000 feet. Abcs terry moran is in london with the latest on the rescue. Good morning, terry. Reporter good morning, george. A harrowing night for dozens of people. Yesterday they were tourists riding a cable car over a spectacular mountain scenery and then things went terribly wrong. This morning, Daring Rescue after rescue, a risky High Altitude drama playing out overnight. Dozens of tourists here to see the spectacular mountain scenery instead forced to spend the freezing night trapped in midair in these cable cars dangling over the french alps. A tourist from south africa posted this video of the panoramic view moments before the tangled mess, crossed cables shutting the whole thing down. Initially, there were 110 people left stranded at 12,500 feet in the air. While daylight lasted, helicopters rushed to reach and rescue 77 people. Rescuers harnessing themselves to cables and then climbing along the cars and dropping down into the chair lifts. But night fell, a cold fog rolled in, operations were suspended. Too dangerous for the rescue and 33 people spent the night hanging two miles from the ground. They wont use a helicopter and wont fly at night, no, they wouldnt fly during the fog either. Reporter an american tourist was among those rescued. We were there almost ten hours in the cable car which was really quite an experience. Reporter five rescue workers spent the night with those still trapped bringing blankets and warm food. A close call for sure. The operating company of that cable car says they cant figure out why those cables got crossed and so theyve closed that line for now. Robin. So glad everybody is safe, terry, thank you. We also have a big Bank Headline this morning. Wells fargo fined nearly 200 million for setting up millions of fake accounts. Rebecca jarvis has the details and she joins us with all that. Tell us what happened here, rebecca. Good morning, robin. This is truly outrageous. Thousands of wells fargo employees at Bank Branches across the country opened millions of illegal accounts and they did it by using real customer accounts, real customer money, and seeding those new accounts with that money. They covered their tracks up by creating fake email addresses, phony p. I. N. Numbers and they did all of this over the course of five years and managed to get away with it for five years straight, 5,300 wells fargo employees have now been fired as a result. They paid that record penalty, 185 million, but i bet a lot of people out there are wondering this morning, how do i get my money back . Well, wells fargo tells me theyre putting it directly back into customer accounts and they say they will pay about 5 million, robin, back to customers as a result of this scam. Theyll get their money back, but the trust is broken. All right. 5,000 people i dont know. I dont know. That that leads to another question, how could they not know with 5300 employees involved . Absolutely. And were also following the latest on the zika outbreak. New numbers show at least 84 pregnant women have tested positive for the virus in florida and dr. Besser is here. And good morning, doc. Good morning. 80 pregnant women in florida, over 600 nationwide. Thats right. You were the head of the cdc. Yeah. So, how big of a Public Health emergency is this . This is scary. Im worried about it. In brazil, theyve seen a massive increase in babies born with severe birth defects and im worried the areas that are having transmission now arent doing enough to control it and next spring and summer were going to see birth defects that could have been prevented. I know theyre spraying in miami and still pushback, public pushback because of the pesticides, people are afraid of that. Thats right, theyre using a product called naled. Its illegal to use in europe. Theyre concerned about the safety of workers using it and weve seen in South Carolina where it was used a massive dieoff of bumblebees and the concern is youve got to weigh the risks from these pesticides versus the risk of birth defects next year. All right, thank you, doc, and good morning, amy. Headlines for us. I do, indeed. Good morning, everyone. The pentagon has just revealed details of a Daring Mission to save two professors abducted at the American University in kabul, afghanistan, last month. Navy s. E. A. L. S parachuted into a compound where intelligence officials believed the american and australian professors were held. But they did not find them. There was a firefight. Seven enemy fighters were killed. 20 drill instructors at a marine boot camp are facing punishing for abuses recruits after investigators discovered a culture of hazing which led one recruit to take his life. Some breaking news from europe this morning, at least four people have been killed after a train derailed in spain this morning. Investigation is under way now to determine the cause of that derailment. And Colin Kaepernicks National Anthem protest may be getting some results. The 49ers ceo has announced he is donating 1 million towards improving Race Relations and dialogue with police. Meanwhile, during the nfl season opener, the broncos Brandon Marshall took a knee during the anthem. He was kaepernicks teammate in college. As for the game the broncos won 2120 last night in the super bowl rematch. With the panthers. And finally, forget several cups of coffee in the morning, apparently all you need is one. Baristas in australia claim they have come up with a coffee blend so strong it will keep you awake for 18 hours. Yeah. It has 5,000 milligrams of caffeine, 12 times more than the daily recommended intake. And, yeah, they say they have four espresso shots, two different strengths of a cold drip and it says their shots contain 80 times the amount of caffeine. That cant be healthy 18 hours in all of that. What did you say, george . Definitely for election night. What did you say . Use it on election night. Its great. Ship some to you. Did you see this last night . Serena williams out of the u. S. Open. She was upset. She started the open smashing records, now facing defeat. T. J. Is here. T. J. , i think serenas loss even shocked her opponent last night. Shocked her, her opponent. Im mad. And you. Were not doing well this morning. Serena williams is not the number one tennis player in the world. She lost the ranking by losing last night. She might still be the greatest athlete ever but she was not the best tennis player on the court last night. Match point. Serena must stare down. Reporter the tennis Queen Serena Williams dethroned. After double faulting on match point at the u. S. Open semifinal. And Karolina Pliskova is headed to the u. S. Open final as serena makes a quick exit. Reporter shes lost her chance at u. S. Open glory and her number one ranking. Even her opponent, Karolina Pliskova, a rising star from the czech republic, was in shock at first. I dont believe it. Serenas a champion so its never easy to play her. You saw it when she was down set and a break shes still fighting. Reporter williams was on top of the world recently named greatest athlete ever by nike, the proud owner of six u. S. Open championship trophies, and last night she was dressed for another win donning her selfproclaimed superhero sleeves. She came out strong. But pliskova quickly proved she has the serves and the returns of a champion. Pliskova now in front. Reporter after losing the first set, williams limped her way into a secondset tiebreaker. I have some serious left knee problems but when youre inured, youre thinking of other things when you should just be playing and thinking of your shots. Reporter pliskova ultimately won on that fatal double fault. Im so excited to beat serena, so right now probably america hates me because i beat both sisters, williams. Reporter but no hard feelings from serena. I wasnt at 100 but i also think she played well and she deserved to win today. Because she did deserve to win. It was my first u. S. Open match ever. I had never been and i was so disappointed. I wanted that third match. I really wanted to see it. Shes like i dont want you in that match. No, im not the bad luck charm.

Now i have to make a rough turn here because we have a murder case thats making headlines after a soccer mom was found dead, her double life running an Escort Service was revealed. And now, a jury is deciding the fate of the man charged with killing her. Abcs ryan smith is here with the latest. Reporter that jury now deliberating a week when they resume today determining whether lester jones killed Paige Birgfeld, her remains not found until years later. As we show tonight on 20 20, her secret life providing a blueprint to Authorities Say kidnapped and killed her. Paige bigger birgfeld, a single mom from colorado left home one day in 2007 and disappeared. Even her young children, frantically searching for their mom. Hey, mom, you are really, really mean. You said you would be back before dark and you havent been back. Reporter close friend and the babysitter said it was completely out of character for the handson mother to abandon her kids. She always created costumes for the kids and she taught a dance class for little toddlers. Everything was centered around the children. Reporter days later her car found set on fire. Just two miles from where she lived. But no paige. Months of searching for paige turned into years. Until, in 2012, her remains were found in this gulch of the colorado mountains. But who would want to hurt the 34yearold mother of three . As police investigate, they find Paige Birgfeld was leading a secret double life. In the light of day selling pampered chef cookware from an office in this nondescript cluster of commercial office spaces. But after hours paige reveals to only a few Close Friends it was also a front for a pampering of a much different brand, a Side Business she was running named models inc. What did she do . Bachelor parties. Reporter paiges double identity is still a touchy subject for those with whom she shared this dirty little secret. As we found when talking to some of them the years she went missing. She was learning to give massages, you know, lots of people give massages. So i knew that she was doing a little extra on the side but it fit perfectly. Reporter the little extra was that paige for the right price would perform those massages topless. In fact, she had this ad in the local paper calling herself carrie, even posing a picture on a website called naughty night life. That Side Business some feared put her in harms way. She had a call to meet somebody at her office. The building was closed. It was after hours. Shed see this white truck. She eventually closed her office, went downstairs to her car, and as she was getting ready to leave, she sees this truck pull up. She just wanted out of there. The white pickup took off. Reporter was she shaken by this . Oh, she was extremely scared. She told me about it and she says, ive never been so scared in my life. Reporter paige had dozens of clients, one of them lester jones, 55 years old, was called in for questioning and investigators discovered that jones paid 400 for an exotic massage a year earlier. What did you have on . Nothing. What did she have on . Nothing. We did not have sex. Reporter he made another appointment with paige the day before she went missing. This time, paige was worried jones figured out her true identity and so she sends carol on the call instead. Whats your First Impression when you walk in the door . Fear. Really . Yeah, hes a very large overpowering person. Whats the first thing he said to you . I want sex. I looked at him and i said, then you should probably call another Escort Service because its not going to happen with me. Reporter carol says he seemed obsessed with paige. During 7 1 2 hours of questioning, jones cooperates fully, letting them take his fingerprints, giving them his dna and handing over the keys to his truck. What are you driving right now . Its a white dodge pickup. White . Uhhuh. Reporter a white pickup. Could it be the same white pickup that frightened paige that night outside her office . Now, jones has pled not guilty to all the charges. His lawyers saying a number of paiges clients could have been her killer including one man who is now dead. The jury has been busy, asking for jones entire 7 1 2hour interrogation and a conversation he had with police that could blow this case wide open depending on how they look at it. What about the evidence . Now, thats a tough thing. Theres no dna connection here. Not a lot of direct evidence to jones and thats why its taken the jury so long to decide whats going to happen here, but when you have a highly circumstantial case its hard to get a conviction. And if they have a verdict youll have that tonight on 20 20 along with the whole story. You can get that at 9 00 eastern followed by Diane Sawyers interview with Elizabeth Vargas on her secret battle with alcoholism. That is at 10 00. Well have more with diane and elizabeth a little bit later in our next hour. Michael, what is coming up on the big board.

Youre trying to get some giant insight. Trying to get him back on the team. Hes helping me out. Hes giving me the insight. All right, it is time for football and its time for our big board. Our team of insiders standing by live for more on this mornings top stories. Dr. Richard besser, good to have you back with us this half hour. His story is coming up, but first, lets start with that smartphone warning. A florida mans jeep engulfed in flames after he claims his Samsung Galaxy note 7 exploded just days after the tech giant issued a worldwide recall of the phone. Samsung says theyre investigating the incident. Abcs Steve Ganyard joins us, and steve, i want to read you something here. The federal Aviation Administration strongly advises passengers not to turn on or charge their devices on board aircraft and not to stow them in any checked baggage. And, steve, people want to know should they be allowed on the planes at all . Well, i think its going to be kind of hard to ban lithium ion batteries, robin. You think we always want things that last longer and we want things that are smaller so you rely on lithium ion batteries so its very hard to say you cant bring them on airplanes. I think what the faa does need to do is, go back and look at the regulations on consumer lithium ion batteries and see if the safety standards, but i also think samsung, you know, they took a huge financial hit here and they took a representational hit so im sure theyll spend a lot more time and effort to make sure their batteries are safe. Steve, its one of these on a plane and if it does explode, what potentially could happen aboard an airliner if that happens . Yeah, michael, the batteries have the potential to bring a plane down and a fire in the cockpit or a fire in the cabin is a pilots worst nightmare. Weve seen two 747s in the past few years be brought down by lithium ion cargo hold fires. You could have one in the cabin as well. Some people drop their cells in the seat, recline, crush the cell phone which also starts a fire so you think about these, these could be serious, but considering how much we rely on them for everything we do in our daily life i dont think theyll be going away any time soon. I know. Just to hear you say, steve. I know, they can bring them down like that. It scares everybody and now to thank you, steve. Now to a major report on the potentially lifesaving drugs as statins. The cholesterol reducing tablets that millions of people take daily criticized for certain side effects but now a new report says those risks have been dangerously exaggerated and dr. Besser, youre here to talk to us about that. There are a lot of controversy around the statins so what does this report saying . Are they safe . Well, you know, its clear that statins can bring down cholesterol and reduce the chance someone will have a heart attack. Some of the concerns are that in some people statins can increase the chances they have diabetes, have muscle damage and foggy thinking, so this report, they reviewed all the studies that have ever been done on statins and what they conclude is that the side effects are overblown. They can occur very rarely but the benefits far outweigh that in terms of preventing heart attacks and they think a lot of people who could benefit from these who arent taking them. And how do you know if you should be taking them . Well, clearly anyone who has had a heart attack who had heart disease, thats one group thats recommended. Anyone at risk of high risk of heart disease. So, as you get older youre at higher risk, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, youre overweight, smoke, those are the people who are at risk. And with any drug youre taking if you think youre having a side effect dont ignore the side effect, but dont just stop taking your drug. Talk to your doctor and work it out. A lot of people say i dont like it, im just going to stop and thats a risky thing to do. Exactly. Thank you. Now to former Heisman Trophy winner tim tebow once a new york jet now a new york met. Has a little ring to it, doesnt it . Cant seem to get him out of new york. Hes stuck here. He is. The organization announcing on twitter that theyve signed the former qb to a minor league contract. Joining us is the man who knows a thing or two about playing pro ball and football and excelling in both baseball and football. Our good friend, deion primetime sanders. Its good to see you, deion. So good to see you, beautiful. I love you to life. Look at that. You give me life. So talk about tim here a little bit. What do you think his chances are . Well, i love it. Lets not make the big idea of his age because theres often a lot of 30yearold, 35yearold Minor League Ballplayers still trying to live out their dream and i like tim tebow. I like what he stands for and i really cant get over the fact that hes not on an nfl Football Team. Maybe not quarterback, mr. Strahan, i understand, but have you seen him lately . Im sure he could play strong safety or outside linebacker but in the sport of baseball im all for tim tebow, and if anybody can do it, he can, and we should allow everyone to dream in this wonderful country that we live in. Oh. And i agree 100 but you said not quarterback. He had a chance of playing another position. He said, no, im a quarterback so that was his decision. But one thing, weve seen a lot of athletes, deion he didnt know that he would be all the way off the team. Yeah, maybe he would have relented. Weve seen a lot of athletes you made the transition, bo jackson. Remember brian jordan made the transition but then Michael Jordan tried to play for the Chicago White sox. That didnt work out so well. So what do you think how difficult is it, thats my question. It looks easy. People say youre a great athlete. Can do it in another easily. How easy is it . Well, see, you are saying the word transition and its really not that. Michael jordan made a transition. Brian jordan, myself and bo jackson, thats what we did throughout our whole childhood and just so happens when we get to a certain age as an adult, people start saying, what we cant do it and thats the only life we knew. Now, Michael Jordan was dealing with something personally and he just wanted to escape the game of basketball and live out a dream playing baseball and thats what he did. Tim tebow wants to be successful in sports. No matter what it is and i think hes found something that he feel like he can do. Now, baseball is tremendously tough. Youre trying to hit a 90somemileanhour baseball that curves, breaks, slides, does everything, and you can fail seven out of ten times and still remain to be a superstar. Thats true. I like his chances. Im betting on this kid. I love him personally and i think if anybody can do it, he can. Hes going to put the work in. Hes going to put the effort in, and hes not going to quit. Tell you what were with you there. He played for the braves. I know youre a big braves fan. Im a big deion fan and a big braves fan. This is terrific watching you and hearing you talk. We love you primetime. Youre the best. Thanks to deion primetime sanders, steve, thank you and dr. Besser, thank you. That wraps up our big board. Good luck to tim tebow. And you can see him on nfls gameday prime. You do a Little Something on sundays. Fox. Hes my competition. Coming up in two minutes that incredible space journey.

Now to that nasa spacecraft on a sevenyear journey to make some big discoveries and Abcs David Kerley has more on this remarkable mission. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, michael, im kind of a space geek. This really is an exciting mission. You get to travel to an asteroid and you grab some dust that could tell us how all life started on earth. And you may be hearing more about this asteroid because its headed our way. Its what we call a global killer. Reporter remember bruce willis trying to save the earth from an asteroid in armageddon. You dont know how to fail. Press it. Reporter well, now, nasa is facing a reallife dark and potential asteroid. Its name is bennu. 1600 feet of space rock and theres a chance it could one day hit earth. It could be catastrophic. Im not sure it would end all life on earth but it would be a bad day. Reporter but thats day is at least 150 years off in the meantime liftoff of the osirisrex. Reporter nasa is going for a visit with this probe launching last night to take samples from bennu which may help answer some of the very Big Questions about the origins of life. I was crying and i said, because weve just done something amazing. Reporter the probe wont make it to bennu for another two years, wont be back here on earth until 2023. Now, this probe will never actually land on the asteroid like bruce willis did but it will touch it with its arm and there is a chance that bennu is going to hit us actually in 150 years is 1 in 3,000, which i think those are not really great odds. We should have sent bruce willis. Weve already seen him do it. Yeah. Why not. All right, thank you, david. Thank you. We appreciate that.

Smart, smart men. All right, good morning, everyone. And the big story this morning, north korea has tested what appears to be its most powerful Nuclear Warhead yet. The announcement came on state tv and the test resulted in a 5. 3 magnitude earthquake. The pentagon calls it a serious provocation and another flagrant violation of u. N. Security council resolutions. Well, security is visibly tighter in paris after three women were arrested during an antiterror raid. Police have linked the women to a car found near Notre Dame Cathedral packed with gas cylinders. They say these women were planning an imminent attack and at least one pledged allegiance to isis. Back here in this country overnight, major flooding in parts of kansas. Severe storms flattened trees and dumped as many as 10 inches of rain in the wichita area. Many schools are closed today as a result. Well, the race for the white house is tightening and the candidates are sharpening their attacks ahead of their first debate. Hillary clinton and donald trump are trying to depict one another as unfit for the presidency. Clinton took a few veiled shots at trump last night as she addressed voters at the National Baptist convention, but she spent most of the day slamming him for praising Vladimir Putin. Even taking the astonishing step of suggesting he prefers the russian president to our american president. It is scary. It is dangerous. Reporter trump seemed to favor russia again last night as he appeared on a moscow tv network telling larry king that it is unlikely russia is trying to influence the u. S. Election. Earlier trump blasted clinton for her most recent response to questions about her email scandal. Every time she talks about the subject, its different. Shes got to get her act together. Reporter meanwhile, during a new interview, clinton tried to explain why people sometimes see her as cold or unemotional saying she learned to control her emotions while she was competing against men at law school. A programming note, Chelsea Clinton will join the ladies of the view right here on abc later this morning. And then george will have the latest on the race for the white house sunday on this week. Well, a sign of the times this morning that may not be so surprising to most parents, myself included. A new survey finds kids these days are at least 15 times more likely to be watching netflix or other streaming Video Services than they are to be playing outdoors. The average child, and this is sad, now spends just four to seven minutes per day playing outside. That is a wakeup call for parents. And finally, one little girl winning hearts across the country. While she was at the Seattle Mariners game, 3yearold beatrix hart, oh, look at her, showing just how much she loves both baseball, and, yeah, thats some blue cotton candy there. The ballparks big screen caught her priceless reaction to a grand slam. She has quickly become a star on the internet. Not shockingly, her father says the ride home, she was in a sugar coma, completely asleep, but shes adorable. Adorable, indeed. That, she is. Thanks for sharing that with us. Lara is still on the mend. Sara, youre doing double duty. How is it going with the view . Im still invited back. I wish i do well enough to come back tomorrow. So far thats worked this week. Thanks for helping us out this week. Thanks, you guys, for having me. So, take a listen to this. Show you yeah at least now i know this just dropped from lady gaga overnight trending everywhere. Its her first single in three year, which i didnt realize. Yeah, its been a while. Yeah, its called perfect illusion. This is the first look we have had at the grammy winners fifth studio album and we do know one fun fact. Take a look. She wrote all the lyrics for this first track on her vintage typewriter. That is crazy. Think about the whiteout and how you had reverse it and pull it out. A little inconvenient. A little electric. Do you remember when you had to type papers on that . It seems much more personal. Hes not that old. I am. I remember the vintage typewriters. I might look young. I got a little age on me. It wasnt that long ago. Youre making me feel old. Wow. What a downer, george. In pop news both of you, just lay off george, all right. I should be happy. He said im younger than i am. Thank you, george. Vintage. Come on. Next up, does tom hanks have a travel curse . We love him here, but the Chicago Tribune with this list saying maybe you shouldnt travel with him, not that hes invited us but lost on a rocket in apollo 13, lost from civilization in castaway. Wilson stranded at the terminal. When it comes to sully, though he finally catches a break as the hero pilot and sully opens in theaters today. But you cant forget, captain phillips, dont get on a boat with him. I did a luncheon with the whole cast and i asked him that very question and what was going on there. He said, at least i get back live. Im still alive afterwards because people are saying, dont travel hey, i dont get killed. It takes him a while. Only four years on the island with the volleyball. He doesnt tell you hes the only one that gets back alive. That is a little depressing so it doesnt pay off for the rest of us. He has vintage typewriters. Did you make that up . I did not make that up. Because you are allowed in pop to do that occasionally. I didnt know that. Now i got one trivia question right. And finally, ben affleck has added another villain to his next batman movie, one of hollywoods biggest hunks. Joe manganiello, the magic mike star, will takes the role of death stroke. Affleck teasing the possibility and posting this video of batmans longtime nemesis last week fueling rumors about the possible casting. Well, now, all has been confirmed. Sofia vergaras husband set to battle with the caped crusader. Its one of your my costar in magic mike. Yeah. Xxl. Xxl. See how my voice went deeper when it did drop.

Our friend and colleague, Elizabeth Vargas, she loves being in the field reporting, and were back now with more of her powerful interview opening up to diane about her battle with alcohol, and, amy, you have how it affected those closest to her. Thats right, robin. In her memoir between breaths 20 20 anchor Elizabeth Vargas paints a very stark portrait as of life as an alcoholic and as she tells diane sawyer, the secret double life, which developed later in her professional career, spilled into every aspect of her life including the most precious parts of it, her family. A seasoned reporter, Elizabeth Vargas is the mother to two beautiful boys, sam and zachary, and exwife of musician marc cohn. As her marriage was crumbling she turned to wine for consolation, a secret she tried to hide from everyone including her family. I would stop on my way home from work, you know, and have a glass of wine or two at a bar and then alone. Alone, feeling really pathetic, you know, i would actually i would actually pretend to talk to somebody on my cell phone. Oh, its okay. Oh, no, im just here waiting for you. No problem, take your time. Ill be right you know, like this whole facade. Reporter eventually, a couple of glasses became entire bottles of wine, and her husband knew, deepening the cracks that she says had already begun to develop in their marriage. And it made all the real problems we needed to discuss and work through frivolous in comparison. You know, what do you want to talk about . Why dont you ask me how my day is, and why dont you support me more when why are you drinking two bottles of chardonnay every night . You know, ive just gone and changed the narrative in a pretty dramatic and destructive way. Reporter alcoholism is a battle she shares with more than 30 million people, and like so many, her family life became part of the wreckage of her drinking. Did you ever endanger them . No. Are you sure . I dont think so, no. I never drove under the influence. Never . No. I dont own a car here, but let me just say something, because i didnt physically endanger my children doesnt mean i didnt devastate them or put them in danger emotionally or psychologically. So powerful. Elizabeth there exposing the ripple effects of alcoholism. It didnt just affect her and her career, it affected everyone who loved her. Robin. All right, thank you, amy. Were going to bring in abc news senior medical contributor, dr. Jennifer ashton to talk more about that. You and i were both watching and just in awe of the rawness and how powerful and just how proud we are that shes speaking up about this, and with any disease, illness, its not just the person, its the family. Right, and the analogy i often give, robin, is when you throw a stone into the water and you watch those ripples, thats what any chronic disease, especially a lifethreatening illness like alcoholism does, it ripples out to the family, children, spouses, partners, friends, parents, siblings, coworkers, and theyre all affected, and i think when you when you ask about what to do about that, you know, yes, theres personal responsibility, but this is an illness that can incapacitate and paralyze someone to save themselves, so then the onus of responsibility falls to medical professionals. Well, i was going to ask you, as a doctor, is there something that you can pick up . Is there some screening . Have you ever with a patient . Absolutely. Really. And its happened many times with my patients. So i think medical professionals, we have an opportunity. We interact with patients, sometimes for something thats completely unrelated and how did i pick it up, by talking to my patients and not just with the alcohol screening questions, which are valid, but ill say, tell me about your day, tell me about what you eat. Tell me about what you drink. Tell me about how you sleep and actually the way i uncovered it with some of my patients when they said, i cant sleep unless i have a few glasses of wine and that started the discussion so those health care encounters are really important. And having that discussion both ways, so we talked a little about it. Rich talked a little bit about this yesterday about alcoholism with women and what it stems from and the anxiety and elizabeth talks about that too and writes about it in her book. Yeah, and theres a lot of factors involved here. Certainly, there are societal pressures that women face, theres Family History of alcoholism or substance abuse, maybe some hormonal issues, work family balance, marriage issues. We dont understand what tips the scales and triggers this in women as much as we should. Theres a lot of unknown questions there in gender but to be clear, robin, the stigma that elizabeth is helping to bust here is so important, theres this misconception, what is an alcoholic look like . We learn in medical school the answer to that question, the alcoholic looks just like you, looks just like me, and thats what people have to understand, and theres hope and help out there. Well, she is letting people know that they are not alone. 100 . Especially women. So proud of her. Thank you, thank you, thank you, jen.

So hard to believe its been 15 years since the attacks on 9 11 and this morning, five teenagers who lost their fathers that day never got to meet them are sharing their story. Its all part of a powerful new documentary, and abcs Mara Schiavocampo brings us this exclusive first look. My name is Siobhan Hickory and im connected to the events of 9 11 because i was born seven weeks after my father was killed in the south tower. Reporter they are the other victims of 9 11.

Oftentimes your first feeling might be, oh, poor kid or whats their life like, and its true, theyve had this incredible loss, but i found these kids to be incredibly resilient. Reporter now teens People Magazine has been following many of these 9 11 babies since birth. Have you seen this recently . Yes. Which one is you . Im right there. Reporter robin higleys dad was an insurance executive in the south tower and helped his coworkers get to safety. Your father helped people live. Yes, he did. Hes a hero. Hes my hero. Im daddys little girl. Reporter what does that give you to know your dad is a hero . It gives me comfort. He died protecting others so it gives me a sense of relief because i know his death was not in vain. The world is in really bad shape right now with all the stuff going on, and i feel like my generation is kind of the one thats going to change things. Reporter while she misses her father deeply, robin like many others struggles with mourning. I wish i could grieve. I was too young to grieve. I didnt know what was happening. Now that im older and im starting to realize it, i am now going through the grieving process. Reporter this group one nobody would ever choose to be in now her lifelong source of strength. You get happy when you look at this. I do. Why . Because it just reminds me that theyve always been there for me, and even though we were so little, in this picture im standing right next to my best friends. So you guys really support each other. We really do. Theyre like a family to me. Reporter for Good Morning America, Mara Schiavocampo, abc news, new york. That is powerful. Really is. Hard to believe grieving for a father you never met. The way she said it so well because they were you forget how young some of them were, and it does take time. And it makes sense now theyre going through the grieving process when they see other families and realize what theyve lost. Uhhuh, but that how she said together they are a family. Yeah. Its going to be a very special bond. Only they know what the other has been through. Thats true.

Who took a flight here and you know how sometimes when you see a baby, cant we be a little more forgiving . Weve all been there, you know, got to be the stress of a mom walking on a plane with a baby crying and you know theyre cranky. Its the worst you feel like the worst person in the world and you cant do anything. She said her babe is normally very good. Just having a bad day. Ali has done that. Where she takes the baby and its great for her too. She misses having the baby. Then she gets to give the babe back. Always a good thing. The parents are anxious too. When you have kids you kind of understand how to be a little more patient. But look. Thats a sweet picture. You know its fashion week. All sorts of innovative things. We found something that is something we might want to do when were going out shopping. A perfect way to save while youre walking the streets you might be tempted. Ill explain. Check out this bag. Well bring it out right now. Its called the ibag 2 which claims to help cure impulse spending. Here it is right here. Its actually really heavy and this is going to be shown sunday night on fashion week. Theyre looking into making it for men, as well. Apparently when you get near something you put in that is an impulse zone shopping area for you danger zone. Danger zone, when you get close to it. It starts to buzz then it locks and you cant get your thursday open. You cant open your purse. So i i want to know where your like danger zone is. Do you guys know where maybe youd have to put the lock on. You know, im the checkout. Are you like that. When i go to the checkout. I look around and im like things i dont need. Mine is the desktop. Its just the buying online. Thats what it is. Lock your computer. If i get anywhere near woodbury common, the outlet mall there mine is pretty much anywhere. I have a problem. You are a shopper. I am. He really is. I have a problem. How much is that . Well, see, heres the catch. Its 5,000. Well, thats impulsive. You have to spend money to save money. Apparently. Not only that most women want more than one bag so have to buy multiples. 5,000. Yes, but the technology i guess is just that. Also its a workout. This thing is heavy. Okay, speaking of workout. Speaking of workout are you ready for some football . [ cheers and applause ] nfl. Well, you are going to need a young woman named ashton white from newton, alabama, shes a kicker on the Football Team there in her school. She is a kicker. Look at her. Ashton is joining us now.

Play soccer and theres not a soccer team at your school. And the football coach there said, heys you want to try out . How did that happen . Well, he was just he wanted me to start a soccer team and we dont have a soccer team so he just said, you can be our kicker and we came out here and tried it and when he told the boys, they thought it was a joke but i came out one day and i kicked for them and they were really happy about it.
