Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20170822

Their cars and now the Severe Threat moving east. 25 million americans in its path. And blinded by the light. The Great American eclipse captivating the country. Millions watching coast to coast sharing in the splendor but now many asking, what did we do to our eyes . Blinded by the light revved up like a deuce another runner in the night blinded by the light and good morning, america. Another great song but so many people watching that eclip that seeing spots was one of the top google searches afterwards. I know my family, we were all concerned. Did i do something to my eyes . But George Stephanopoulos doesnt have to worry because what were you doing during the eclipse . I took a little nap. I was awake for most of it but one person was not taking a nap, the president. I wonder if hes seeing spots. He looked right at. They were yelling, dont look. He did look. We hope hes okay this morning. Of course, hours later he did give his primetime speech on afghanistan outlining his strategy for americas longest war. He says its a dramatic shift from the past and certainly a dramatic shift for him. For years he argued for pulling out saying the war couldnt be won. The big questions. What is victory . How many more troops will it take and how long will it take . Well talk to Ambassador Nikki Haley about that. But lets get first to our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega for all the reaction to the president s afghanistan speech. Good morning to you, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you and the president is tweeting this morning in the wake of that speech saying that the future of our country is strong. Now, he did not specify the number of troops that he wants on the ground in afghanistan. He did not specify a withdrawal date, but he did make a rare admission. He says he was wrong about americas longestrunning war. In a rare primetime address to the nation, President Trump unveiled a new afghanistan strategy with a rare admission, a flipflop. My original instinct was to pull out and historically i like following my instincts. But all my life ive heard that decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk in the oval office. Reporter the president who once said the war in afghanistan was a complete disaster that warranted immediate withdrawal lets get with it. Get out of afghanistan. Reporter is now committing american troops to a fight there for the foreseeable future. We are not nation building again. We are killing terrorists. Reporter taking aim at the enemy. They are nothing but thugs and criminals and predators and thats right, losers. Reporter and also at pakistan. We can no longer be silent about pakistans safe havens for terrorist organizations. It is time for pakistan to demonstrate its commitment to civilization, order and to peace. Reporter hes following the advice of his generals who argue the only way to ultimately beat back the taliban and isis is with more american boots on the ground. We will not talk about numbers of troops or our plans for further military activities. Conditions on the ground, not arbitrary timetables, will guide our strategy from now on. Repor trying to turn a new page on one of the worst weeks in his presidency after accusations that he divided the nation in the wake of charlottesville. Now President Trump is talking unity. When we open our hears to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice, no place for bigotry and no tolerance for hate. Reporter the republicans, like paul ryan and john mccain, are praising the president s speech but one Kentucky Republican congressman Thomas Massie says, take a look at this, i had hoped the Afghanistan War would end soon but now its inevitable that babies born during the war will be deploying to the war in 2019. The taliban is also responding this morning in a statement, a taliban spokesman calls the president s speech on afghanistan unclear and old, george. Okay, cecilia, thanks very much. Lets get more from americas u. N. Ambassador nikki haley. She joins us from the white house this morning, ambassador haley, thanks for joining us this morning. Good morning. The president said we will win in afghanistan. But he didnt define victory, so can you define victory specifically for the American People . Well, i think what were trying to do is defeat terrorism of all kinds and i think in afghanistan what its become is a safe haven, but its not just about afghanistan, its also about the region and so i think what youre seeing the president and the generals do is basically say, look, lets stay focused. Lets look at the terrorist attacks that weve that could happen on american soil but lets go after terrorism and i think what you heard last night was strong, it was solid. I was in the National Security Council Meetings which there were multiple meetings. I saw the process of where it went. I saw this president ask a lot of questions and i saw him want to go in a different direction and i think its a direction thats good for the country. But ambassador haley, as you know, weve been there for almost 16 years going after the terrorists so i repeat my question, what is victory . Will, i think victory is obviously that we want to see that were defeating terrorism. Were defeating taliban. Were defeating al qaeda. Were defeating isis and i think what youre going to see is with this plan, its not going to be like the past 16 years where you knew how many troops and where and what, its going to be very calculated. Its going to be very strategic, but more importantly, its not going to be based on time. Its going to be based on results and i think weve seen results like that, if you look at our the way were taking on isis in syria and iraq, if you look at the way weve handled north korea, this is all very results driven. Its not about the talk. Its about getting things done. But as you know a lot of people hear that and they hear no ceiling on troops and timetable and think its a blank check. Its not a blank check. I can assure you, the president would never allow a blank check which is why he started in the beginning saying this war has gone on too long. 17 years is too long and we have lost too many lives and spent too much money. This approach will be very different. What you wont hear is the details. If the past we had administrations that have given out everything were doing, when were doing it and how were doing it. You wont hear that now, but you can rest assured that our generals are very strategic, our generals are very ready and well lift up the afghan forces. Thats the goal but were also going to lean on the region. Pakistan can no longer be a safe haven for terrorism. India needs to step up and do their part. Were going to have our nato allies very much involved in this and were going to push to win. I want to move on. The president also talked about the need to heal our divisions at home. When you were governor of South Carolina after those horrific charleston murders you took on the White Supremacists and you took down the Confederate Flag and you spoke out when the candidate trump was very slow to disavow david duke and the kkk. I want to show what you had to say then. We saw and looked at true hate in the eyes last year in charleston. I will not stop until we fight a man that chooses not to disavow the kkk, that is not a part of our party. Thats not who we want as president. We will not allow that in our country. Eventually candidate trump did disavow david duke and the kkk. But what were you thinking last week when you saw the president blame both sides for the violence in charlottesville . When he said that many very fine people were marching with the White Supremacists. Well, i picked up the phone and i had a private conversation with the president about charlottesville and it was taken very well. What i will tell you is there is no room for bigotry and hate in this country. I know the pain that hate can cause. And we have to we have to isolate them the way they want to isolate others. Did the president understand he made a mistake . I think the president clarified so that no one can question that hes opposed to bigotry and hate in this country and that when our soldiers go out and fight they fight unified. We need to make sure were a country thats unified back home. Yet, he still says that taking down confederate statues is foolish. You took down the Confederate Flag from the statehouse in charleston. Well, you know, it was the state that decided but what our focus was the Confederate Flag was a living, breathing thing. It was representative of the here and now and there was no place for that, especially after we saw nine people murdered with that with the killer raising up the Confederate Flag and so thats why we brought it down. When the issue of monuments came up in South Carolina at that same time, we knew that we couldnt take down every monument or change every street sign or change the name of every university because theres history all throughout South Carolina, but instead what we did is we worked with the mayor of charleston to work on building an african memorial and an African Museum and thats whats happening right now, so its not just about what you take down but what you proactively do to lift up your state and country. Ambassador haley, thanks for your time this morning. Okay, thanks so much. Also this morning, President Trump facing more fallout from his charlottesville response. Our new abc News Washington post poll showing j28 of americans approve of how he t us handled charlottesville. Handled charlottesville. 56 disapprove and last night, House Speaker paul ryan speaking about the president s response saying, he quote, messed up. And in the wake of the charlottesville events the mayor of phoenix has asked the president to postpone his Campaign Rally there tonight. However, the Trump Campaign is moving forward, and our chief National Correspondent tom llamas is there in phoenix with all the latest on that. Good morning to you, tom. Reporter amy, good morning the mayor of phoenix who is a democrat has begged the president not to come here. He feels the timing is too close to char loetsville and theres a real fear that things could explode tonight. Heres why. The president will speak here, just behind me at the convention center. His supporters are going to be here. You can see theyre setting up some of the concrete barriers. About a block away, tens of thousands of protesters, all types, people like proimmigrant groups but also the antifa, theyre not afraid to destroy property. Police staff will be full. The big question, will President Trump pardon former Sheriff Joe Arpaio . He was one of the biggest names, one of the strongest early supporters of President Trump. He was convicted of contempt of court. Hes one of the biggest supporters of President Trump. He tells abc news hes not been in contact with the Trump Campaign. Hes not coming here. But if the president chooses to pardon him, of course hell definitely take that. Amy. All eyes on phoenix, tom. Thank you so much. The latest on the investigation into the Trump Campaign and russia. A key figure behind the controversial dossier detailing unsubstantiated allegations about the trump teams ties to russia is set to speak with investigators on capitol hill today and brian ross is here with the story. Good morning, brian. Reporter good morning, george. Republicans in Congress Today will step up efforts to find out who and what was behind that controversial socalled dossier that claimed so far without substantiation that the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians to hack into Democratic Party computers and worse. A key witness is due on capitol hill today. Glenn simpson, a former journalist who specialized in Money Laundering and russian organized crime, and then led the private investigation of trump and russia last year. This is how simpson described what he does at a recent film festival. I call it journalism for rent. Reporter simpson first began his efforts when trump was running in the republican primary. According to political operatives, simpson was initially paid about a Million Dollars by wealthy republicans and then more later by democrats who both wanted him to dig up dirt on trump and plant negative news stories. The 35page dossier on the socalled russian connection to trump with some very salacious allegations, including unsubstantiated claims about trump in a moscow hotel room, was not completed until just before the election. And then provided to journalists, the Clinton Campaign and the fbi, all to the outrage of donald trump. I saw the information, i read the information outside of that meeting. Its all fake news. Its phony stuff. It didnt happen. Reporter now, many republicans in congress are working to discredit the dossier and simpson. We will also pursue details about mr. Simpsons role in this event and the creation and circulation of the dossier that started this whole controversy. Reporter Congress Also wants to talk with the former british spy who simpson hired to investigate trumps socalled russian connection, christopher steele, but so far he is refusing to talk. Steele has met with the fbi and provided agents with the names of his sources about the allegations in the dossier. Allegations the special counsel continues to investigate, george. A lot of fronts for that investigation right now. Thanks very much. Now to that breaking news from overnight, Dozens Injured in a train crash outside of philadelphia, when a highspeed train ran into one that was parked at that station. Authorities are now investigating the incident and abcs gio benitez is there on the scene with all the latest. Good morning, gio. Reporter amy, good morning to you. Were talking about 42 people injured in this crash. I want to step out of the way so you can zoom in and take a look at that train right there. Its got the Yellow Police tape around it. The investigation very much under way. Accident involving trolley. We got people down all over. Reporter overnight, ambulances rushing to a pennsylvania train station after 42 people were injured in a crash on a highspeed rail line. I have about six or seven seriously injured people on the trolley. Reporter officials tell us a latenight commuter train barrelled into a parked railcar as it pulled into its final stop outside philadelphia. We got to the terminal. I stood up and, smack, hit the other trolley parked. Reporter witnesses say there was no sign of a problem before the train suddenly slammed into the other car. My face hit the wall, put a big hole in the wall and then i went straight down. I blacked out. Theres blood everywhere. Reporter all of the riders on board were hurt in the crash, including four with serious but nonlifethreatening injuries. Earlier this year a similar scene. Four injured after a septa train failed to stop causing multiple derailments. This morning, septa officials are investigating why todays train didnt stop in time. And back out here live, you can see that train right there, investigators are still looking at it. The good news right now, all of those injured passengers are expected to recover, george. Thank goodness for that. Gio, thanks very much. Now to new developments in the navy tragedy. Divers have found some remains this morning as they search for the ten sailors missing after a u. S. Destroyer collided with a tanker. Abcs bob woodruff is tracking it all from singapore. Reporter this morning, the malaysian officials are reporting they have recovered remains and may have found others. Until we have exhausted any potential of recovering of survey source or bodies the search and rescue efforts will continue. Reporter one of the missing sailors identified as thirdclass petty officer logan palmer from decautr, illinois, his family telling abc news the Navy Destroyer collided with an oil tanker early monday morning after the coast of singapore. Leaving a gaping hole in the ships hull causing water to rush in and flood it. Without question, the straight of malacca is the busiest and a quarter of the worlds oil is shipped through here. In this area it is only about a mile and a half wide so when you look at it, you realize why it is the most dangerous choke points for shipping in the world. Five sailors were injured in the collision including naveen ramdan who was asleep when the vessel was hit. His mother said he broke several bones in his hand. This is the fourth navy mishap in the pacific this year and the second major crash in two months. The head of the Naval Operations is ruling out nothing including cyberintrusion or sabotage in the investigation. Now, the navy has called for an operational pause, which means it will conduct a full safety review and all u. S. Fleets all around the world. George. Okay, bob woodruff, thanks very much.

Ward has yielded a breakthrough, thanks to an informant, including what they insist are human remains. I had already conditioned myself that this was not real.

Or are you going to get up and go and do it and try to find answers. Find answers. Reporter the controversial discovery, part of a sixpart series the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on the oxygen channel. I didnt even know it. No one really knew. Reporter the series chronicles holloways quest to find those answers and includes witnesses speaking out for the first time. I remember seeing natalee in a white car driving away. The window was rolled down so we could see it was her in the back of the car. My impression was, oh, great, she found a ride back to the hotel. Thats the last time i believe i saw her. Reporter natalees father says it may take weeks for the crucial remains to be tested for in ya match to natalee. Utha our mind . In your heart . It will be the end of a long, long journey, but were not there yet. And there are now reports that aruban officials are denying the discovery of human remains in the area. Holloway refuses to disclose the dna Testing Center in the u. S. But just to complicate matters, aruban Authorities Say if human remains were taken out of the country, its not only inadmissible, its a crime.

And were back with that blockbuster ruling against Johnson Johnson, a jury ordering the company to pay a record 417 million to a woman who claims its talcum powder caused her Ovarian Cancer. Abcs Rebecca Jarvis is here with those details. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter thats right, amy. Good morning to you. A massive victory for one woman against Johnson Johnson. The 417 million judgment reached after a nearly monthlong trial. There were more than 1,000 other people who have filed similar claims about Johnson Johnsons baby powder. This morning, pharmaceutical and consumer giant Johnson Johnson ordered to pay 417 million to this woman, 63yearold eva echevarria, who was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer ten years ago and is terminally ill. She says she started using the companys famous baby powder when she was 11 years old and only stopped using it last year after seeing a story about a possible link between the talc used in the product and Ovarian Cancer. Do you have any fear you might die here . Yes. Reporter a jury watching the grandmother in this videotaped deposition, her lawyers saying she is on her deathbed and currently toin court. I have a grandson and hes 5 years old. And he loves me so much. Reporter according to the latest lawsuit, echevarria claimed she developed Ovarian Cancer as a direct and proximate result of the unreasonably dangerous and defective nature of talcum powder. Echevarria testifying that if the company had labeled their product with a warning, she would have stopped using it. Eva would like to get the message out to other women in the country. Reporter this is just the latest in a series of lawsuits Johnson Johnson has faced from women with similar claims. Last year juries in three different missouri trials awarded women combined damages of over 300 million. Im hoping that Johnson Johnson will listen to us and give us a warning and give other women a warning. Reporter but, according to the medical community, the evidence of a possible link is unclear. The American Cancer Society saying, it is not clear if Consumer Products containing talcum powder increase cancer risk. Johnson johnson telling abc news, while it sympathizes with the women and families impacted by this disease, it will appeal the verdict saying, it is guided by the science, which supports the safety of Johnson Johnsons baby powder. And Johnson Johnson is also preparing to defend itself at those other trials but, of course, for consumers, amy, still many questions. Exactly, rebecca. Thank you. So to answer some of those questions, lets bring in our senior medical contributor, dr. Jennifer ashton. So obviously the big question is just how safe is this talcum powder . This has long been a concern in gynecology back 17 years ago when i was an intern we were trained, you know, try to avoid it. There may be an associated risk. Its controversial. Some studies in the medical literature show as high as a 33 increased associated risk of women who use talc in the genital region and Ovarian Cancer. Talc has been found in the ovaries and lymph nodes of those with cancer. We know its a chemical irritant. However, flip side, if talc really were that causative in cancer, we, surgeons, have talk on our gloves, and were putting our hands into bodies every day. And there would be likely a much higher rate of Ovarian Cancer. The American Cancer Society has said its not clear that theres an associated increased risk between this particular type of Ovarian Cancer and we have to remember a woman has a 1 in 75 chance of developing Ovarian Cancer. Multiple factors are associated with that risk. Its very, very difficult to pinpoint one factor with a cause of cancer. So, any tips for the American Consumer when using talcum powder . You know, i think we have to remember frequency and dose. It can be safe when used on other parts of the body. It is not meant to go in the body via any orifice. So it should be kept away there that area. But, again, its very controversial. All right, dr. Jen, thanks so much as always. We appreciate it. George. Important information there. And coming up on our big board, millions across the country watched that historymaking eclipse. Many asking today what did we do to our eyes .

Were glowing in the dark i love this song. On todays big board all the fallout from the nationwide eclipse yesterday. Millions of us stopped what we were doing to see the spectacle. But it also came with some headaches. From hourslong traffic jams to some Health Concerns now, abcs diane macedo is here with more on the excitement and what people are talking about in its aftermath. Good morning, diane. Good morning to you. So the moon blocked the sun for just a few minutes. But cars blocked each other for far longer. Were taking a look at some of the most insane looking at it on social media and google and the results are fascinating. This morning, in the shadow of that amazing eclipse, twitter is clocking more than 6 million tweets about the Great American eclipse. And over on facebook, nasas live stream had more than 29 million views. And it was much more than just digital traffic. Some of the first people in the country to see the total eclipse in madras, oregon, had to wait four hours to get out of the parking lot. Was it worth it, 20 hours . Yes. Yes. Reporter in rigby, idaho, where nasa set up, there was bumpertobumper traffic for more than 20 miles. Perhaps many had this song on repeat. Nothing i can do, a total eclipse of the heart reporter youtube views of Bonnie Tylers total eclipse of the heart video skyrocketed. Hundreds of thousands were watching and listening to the song as the eclipse made its way across america. On itunes the song jumped to number one, beating despacito. On twitter, interest for the eclipse was nationwide. But just look. The most tweets followed roughly the same path as the path of totality. On google, all day long the top Solar Eclipse question, how to view the Solar Eclipse without glasses . So maybe its not surprising that one of the top searches after the eclipse was seeing spots. Oh, yeah, and we got new data from google right after the eclipse, the search for how do i know the eclipse has damaged my eyes spiked more than 4,000 . The number of people searching eyes burning after eclipse increased by more than 2,000 and the fastest rising search, eyes hurt after the eclipse. Theres a reason you wear the glasses. We were all sharing glasses in my family. And a couple of times, oh, no, i looked. And youre afraid, but is there any precedent for this eclipse hypochondria . There is, actually. People tend to freak out a little bit after an event like this and we saw in 99 when england had an eclipse, there was a hospital that reported getting 1600 phone calls. And they only found six cases of retina injuries. So just because you think you might be feeling something doesnt mean you actually did any damage. What are the symptoms . You should worry about. There are some. Thats important to mention. Two big ones to look out for experts say are blurry vision and blind spots in one or both eyes. A few other things to look out for. Colorblindness, distorted vision. If you see a Straight Line and it appears wavy. And intense headaches. None of those things are normal. If you experience any of those, consult a doctor. Its not something that will be a little bit of discomfort. A little bit of discomfort. B if youre really that worried, call your doctor and get a little reassurance. Diane, thanks. Good advice.

Sharing never before seen footage of the pop star. And revealing her personal struggles. Nightlines juju chang is back with more on this. Good morning, juju. Good morning, amy. Good morning, guys. Think about it, her voice is still instantly recognizable. Whitney houstons musicality and her marketability helped her cross over and win millions of fans. And yet, this new documentary suggests her biggest struggle was with her own public persona. It is an upclose look at what happened backstage, her love life, and her relationship with her daughter, bobbi kristina. The greatest love of all reporter she was the glamorous pop princess with one of the greatest voices of all time. And now, a new showtime documentary shows you a private whitney houston, the public didnt know. Filled with neverbeforeseen backstage footage from her 1999 world tour. Jump jump jump reporter filled with new insights into her troubled life. When the world first met whitney houston, she was a wholesome, church girl, gospel singer. Yes, but reporter that was the image. Absolutely, but she came from the hood. I grew up in newark, new jersey. And in east orange, new jersey. The brothers knew the dealers in new jersey and they were older and they were using and then one day they introduced her to that. We were always, like, being together. And her falling behind me, we i taught her to drive. You know. We played together. You know and everything that you do together as you are growing up and then when you get into drugs you do that together, too. Reporter that drug use eventually passed down from one generation to the next. Just want to say clap your hands clap your hands reporter she was an absentee mother. Yes, and i think with all the negative parts that that means. Bobbi kristina and i have a great relationship. We really do. And im very, very proud of that. I cherish it. I try to talk to her at least three times a week, although its very hard to talk. Its worse to talk sometimes than not to. Reporter there may have been distance between whitney and her daughter, but for years, she and her childhood friend Robin Crawford were inseparable, leading many to speculate about their relationship. The mother actually said at the time that she would like whitney to marry a man because the rumors of her and robin were so severe and so intense. This wasnt her world. I mean i brought her into this madness. She goes, why am i the target . What did i do . Reporter the films title whitney can i be me . Suggests she never could. And that perhaps is what destroyed her. I always think, if she were in orange today, she would be fine. Everything would be lovely. She probably would still be here. Find your strength in love its true, chills. That voice. The filmmakers also uncovered a letter written by one of the whitney world tour bodyguards, with a dire warning about rampant drug use on the tour. He says he was then fired. The film also dispelled some of the whitney mythology that it was fame or bobby brown that ruined her. The film points out she dabbled in drugs in her early teens long before she fell for the bad boy singer. And while many of her Close Friends spoke on camera, the family did not want to comment on the film. Cant blame them for that. Fascinating. What a gift she had, though. She was so talented. All right, juju, thanks so much. Whitney can i be me . Airs on friday on showtime. And you can see more of jujus report tonight on nightline. Lets go to ginger who is still in nashville for us. Ginger. Here in nashville on a beautiful morning with storms way later today. We wanted to bring you your gma moment. This is just a time to smile or do a little giggle. We werent the only ones with our sunglasses on. There were pups all across the nation that were ready for the eclipse. And we wanted to show a couple of those photos. Thank you, helen, for getting those on my facebook and this is ari in idaho falls. Made a ton of new friends having those glasses on. Shared them. Send yours to me on my Facebook Page so good morning. Check out this beautiful morning unfolding from our east bay hills camera. Today brighter and warmer than yesterday, not only because we dont have the eclipse, but well have fewer clouds in the afternoon. Low clouds and fog develop tonight. Inland heat wave begins this weekend. Temperatures along the coast into san francisco, midtoupper 60s. Midtoupper 70s around the bay and 80s inland. Well be back in the 55 to 63degree range tonight. Our warmest days saturday and c back here with dr. Jen nd c ashton for a gma health alert about Food Allergies. Theres a new report that shows severe reactions to some foods that have shown a striking increase just in the past decade. This is really something. Why are we seeing it . We dont know, george. The possible theories here, maybe something in our environment. The way the food is grown or processed or something within our bodies and immune system, overuse of antibiotics, but all we can say is the numbers are up dramatically. Take a look at this chart. This shows the most common Food Allergies. Of course, peanuts still leading the bunch with about 26 . But what everything pretty much on this list, and when you look at the last item, other unspecified foods in this report over 33 of documented allergies to food. So we dont know. A big we dont know right there. Usually you associate it with kids and try to find out whats going on. They can develop as an adult. More common earlier in life but my mother and i both developed our lifethreatening Food Allergies at age 37, so were seeing it all across various age groups. Lifethreatening. I had an anaphylactic reaction once. Thats the word we hear all the time. What are the symptoms that people should so, we have to be clear. Food allergies sends a person to the e. R. In this country once every three seconds. I like to describe the categories of allergies, three, kind of categories. Skin, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular. If you look at this list, these are some of the common severe symptoms. Swelling around the face and mouth, trouble swallowing, shortness of breath or wheezing, and a drop in Blood Pressure which, of course, can result in cardiac arrest. But to be clear, some people gastrointestinal is their main symptom. We have to be clear. The use of an epinephrine auto injector is life saving. Its not used enough. When i had my anaphylactic reaction, george, i was actually afraid to give myself this auto injector. I want everyone to know how to use them. These are mine. I do carry two and thats my medical recommendation. Always carry two in case the person giving it to you misuses it and you need another one. You pop open the top. You take off this blue protective covering. Now this is loaded and live and ready to go. You jam it. And i say jam into the upper outer thigh because sometimes you do have to go through clothing. Once you hear that click, you hold it in place for ten seconds and then promptly go to the emergency room to be clear. This is literally a matter of life or death. Thats if you have the plenty. But if you didnt know you had the allergy and you see one of these symptoms you got to go to the emergency room. Absolutely and in the er we give epinephrine, we give antihistamines, and steroids. But this is the lifesaver. Lets go over to lara. Well turn to bachelor in paradise star Demario Jackson opening up about the scandal that temporarily shut down production. In an emotional interview with host Chris Harrison. Abcs diane macedo is back with a first look at that. Good morning to you.

Weave been nervous even before we zipped the suitcases up. We talked a lot and first of all first and foremost you need to have these conversations and talked about alcohol. So many of these assaults happen around alcohol but the experts say there are some key tips we do want to sort of talk to our kids about. First of all to trust their instincts. If they think that something is wrong, it probably is. To identify the campus resources that are in place. A lot of these colleges now do have things and policies and people in place to try to keep them safe. And most important, amy, we talked about this before. Its to intervene. If they see something happening maybe intervene themselves or get an Authority Figure to intervene. If y st. Ee s eoom so important. We mentioned your daughter and you said it earlier.

I want to make a change in my local Community Using technology. Reporter these students arent your typical computer programmers. This could be it. Reporter this coding class is for girls only.

Reporter in 2015 women held 57 of all professional occupations yet they held only 25 of all computing occupations. And the numbers are even lower when considering women of color, latinas and black women hold only 1 and 3 of these jobs. Saujani wrote girls who code specifically geared to young girls. Is it that the interest isnt there or dont see the opportunity there . I think girls are interested. We do a poor job of showing girls the connection between technology and making a difference. Were you interested in technology before this . No, not really. So then why are you here . Because my friend did it last summer and she said it was the best experience she had. And i wanted to do it, as well. Now seeing so many Different Girls with the same interests as me its really amazing.
