Well come right back with a lot more in a couple of minutes. Okay, ginger, thanks very much. We move on now to italy. The death toll continues to climb from the massive earthquake. Rescue efforts overnight. More than 200 aftershocks rocking the country. This drone video of the region shows the crushing destruction from the quake. Abcs terry moran is on the scene in amatrice with the latest. Good morning, terry. George, those aftershocks just keep rolling through. A couple of them woke us up last night. Sent people scurrying into streets. The danger is real. Take a look behind me. That is the ancient church of st. Augustina. Dates back more than 500 years and its a wreck. Emergency workers tell us that tower could come down in the next big shake. 17 hours after the earthquake first struck this small italian town, a rare moment of hope amidst the rubble. Firefighters spot the legs of a 10yearold girl named julia. They hear sounds from her direction. They respond with messages of encouragement as they successfully pull her to safety. She emerges to applause and cries of, shes alive. Further west, in the Historic Town of amatrice, one of the hardest hit. Another team gently pulling out first a little boy. Then a little girl from the wreckage both survivors. This morning, rescue workers meeting on the outskirts of town, mapping out where they need to go. Its very emotional. But the emotion you feel the emotion after the day, after a month, after a year. Reporter are you proud of this work . Yes. Im proud of this work. Reporter this exclusive new drone footage illustrates the scope of the devastation in amatrice. The invisible line between the new town, where houses remain untouched, and the old city, where threequarters of the town has been flattened. Take a look at the main street before the disaster. Here it is after. Once so picturesque, this town square now a wreck. The clock tower is all thats left standing now. Cars crumbled. Homes reduced to skeletons. Looking more like dollhouses. This tattered mickey mouse doll lying in the rubble. And in the wake of the powerful quake, more than 200 aftershocks have been unleashed. We made our way through shattered villages. Shellshocked residents rescue workers tell us what makes this work so difficult is that these old stone buildings just have come down on themselves. Getting this done, getting in there and finding out who is in it is karim and dangerous work. Were told its going to take awhile to complete. Amy . Terry, our hearts are with all of those in italy now. Now to a deadly attack in afghanistan, where militants stormed the American University in kabul. Killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 20 others. A siege going on for hours as students fled for their lives or barricaded themselves in classrooms. Abcs Alex Marquardt is in beirut with the very latest on that. Good morning, alex. Reporter good morning, amy. Thats right, harrowing stories coming out of afghanistan this morning. This attack starting as evening classes got under way. Students immediately posting on twitter and facebook that the campus was under attack. Others jumping out of windows and trying to climb walls to the attack lasted for ten hours. He kicked our door by his feet, two times. Everybody were panicked. Reporter Security Forces and medical teams backed by american advisers swarming the scene. Police describe the attack as complex with three attackers. One blowing himself up at the universitys entrance, allowing two gunmen to enter. We didnt feel good and safe. So therefore we jumped from the second floor and escaped. Reporter in the killed, including 7 students. So far, there has been no claim of responsibility. But the taliban is a prime suspect. The state department condemned the attack. An attack on an university is an attack on the future of afghanistan. Reporter the university was a personal project of former first lady laura bushs as the kind of place where afghan students talk about using their educations to strengthen their country. That is what makes it a prime target for terrorists. George. Okay, alex, marquardt, back here at home, the race for the white house hotter than ever. With donald trump sharpening his attacks on Hillary Clinton and signaling his most dramatic shift yet on immigration. Abcs jon karl is on the trail. With donald trump in jackson, mississippi. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george, this shift on immigration is a stunning reversal for trump on his core issue. And it comes as hes out with a harsh new insult directed at speaking in mississippi overnight, donald trump gave a provocative new label to Hillary Clinton. For the first time, branding her a racist. Hillary clinton is a bigot. Who sees people of color only as votes. Not as human beings worthy of a better future. Reporter watch the reaction from this woman as trump makes the attack. Hillary clinton is a bigot, who sees people of color reporter in an interview on hes taking a hate movement mainstream. Hes brought it into his campaign. Hes bringing it to our communities and our country. Reporter trump is now trying to appeal to minority voters. Making a huge flip on his core issues. Youre going to have a deportation force. Were rounding them up in a very humane way. Reporter but trump now says some of the nations 11 million undocumented immigrants should be allowed to stay. Do we tell these people to get out . Number one. Or do we work with them and let them stay in some form . Reporter he says he would keep the door closed to citizenship. But for the first time, hes saying hes open to giving legal status to the millions who came into the United States illegally. Who wants those people thrown out . I do reporter as for Hillary Clinton, she says she plans to launch a major counterattack. In a speech she plans to give in reno, nevada, today, her Campaign Says shell declare linked to a socalled altright political philosophy that embraces extremism. Trumps apparent new position on immigration sounds a heck of a lot like what jeb bush proposed during the republican primaries. Back then, george, trump harshly attacked it as amnesty. Now, a spokesperson for bush is saying, it donald trump is finally faced with reconciling his immigration policy with reality. Its something governor bush predicted last year. George . Okay, jon karl. Lets take that to matt dowd right now. Matt, the Trump Campaign is still saying, even though hes talked about this on the stump for the last several days, that hes going to come out with a formal position in the next week or so. If this sticks, if he does say that some of the undocumented immigrants in the country right now can have a path to legalization, that would be, as everything he said over the course of the primary campaign. Well, i think it would be the most fundamental shift in his whole campaign to this point. I think theres two problematic areas that they have to be real careful of, the Trump Campaign. First is, if you ask any trump voter, the only issue that links them together is his immigration stand. No other issue links them together like immigration. The other issue is, hes supposed to be the tells it like it is politician. The one who is willing to say whatever it takes to get it done on this issue, its problematic. But isnt he shifting in a position that more people agree with . Absolutely. A majority of folks agree that we ought to have secure borders and compassionately deal with the people in this country. Absolutely. I think its primarily aimed at white women suburban voters. Its not really aimed at latinos. Its aimed at those suburban voters that he knows this election could be decided by. What of a hybrid trump. Hes using the teleprompter more. Hitting themes a little bit more consistently. He still goes off and labels Hillary Clinton with words like bigot. That seems to be the pattern going forward. His team is going to try to discipline him a bit but also give him the free rein to do what he does. Well, i would hope that the bigot line was not in the teleprompter. His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway said he doesnt personally insult anybody. Well, hes done a series of personal insults. I would hope we have a hope solo standard in the course of this. When you Say Something outrageous, maybe you get a timeout for awhile to figure out what you need to do in the course of this. No time for timeouts with 70 days to go until election day. Thats the reality right there, matt dowd. Thank you very much. Now to a set of frightening plane landings right here in new york. Two packed aircraft, two hours apart, slamming into birds at jfk. The incidents again raising concerns about the dangers of birds around our airports. In d. C. Good morning to you, david. Reporter good morning, amy. Its one of the most vulnerable parts of a flight, the landing. And twice at jfk, jets on final approach getting ready to touch down, hit birds. During the morning rush, a jetblue aircraft flew right into trouble. On touchdown, we had a bird strike. It hit the side of the aircraft. Reporter another pilot saw the effects. A very small bird. Its dead. Reporter and just two hours later, a fourengine jumbo jet. A singapore a380 also hits birds. Seen by other pilots. Theres a big flock of birds went into those two engines. Theyre kind of scattered everywhere. Reporter they were small starlings. Another pilot reacted. Theres a bunch of dead birds on the runway. I dont want to take off. Reporter both flights completed landings without further incident. Bird strikes can be serious. Hit birds. Weve lost both engines. Sullenbergers jet. That took off and lost both engines to bird strikes. Landing in the hudson. A story this is the captain. Brace for impact. Reporter now becoming a hollywood movie. Sully. I got an a330 diving for the river. Reporter proof that Nature Technology can lead to unexpected consequences. No one has ever trained for an incident like that. Reporter and jetblue tells us that their jet was back in service last night. No word from singapore. That bigger jet that hit a flock of birds. George, this is not uncommon. A couple of dozen times a day, a plane hits a bird. Okay, david, thank you very much for that. Were going to get to the investigation now into a fatal zipline accident at Delaware State Park where a woman died after falling 40 feet from the ride. Abcs eva pilgrim is here with the story. This is raising real questions about the safety of these rides. Reporter its an adventure industry so popular that the Delaware State Park recently opened a junior course for kids. Investigators try to figure out how a woman could fall to her death when each participant is supposed to be attached to a Safety System the entire time. This morning, a ziplining adventure ending in tragedy. A 59yearold woman dying. After falling from a course in delaware. I could see how it could happen. As just a complete accident. Reporter Authorities Say the woman exploring the go ape treetop adventure course fell approximately 40 feet off one of the platforms, later dying at a nearby hospital. This Youtube Video showcasing the course, which, according to the companys website, is a two to threehour journey through the wilderness. As you take on suspended obstacles. All with an incredible view. Go ape releasing this statement after the fall saying it is deeply saddened by this tragic occurrence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. The course with her at time. Authorities still trying to figure out how this woman fell to her death. If they didnt go through the precautions of hooking themselves up with the carabiner and lost their balance and fell on the platform, then it could be possible. Reporter meanwhile, this latest accident once again raising concerns about safety. And the millions of zipline rides taken every year, the industry says less than 1 result in accidents. However, theres still no federal oversight. Only 18 states setting specific regulations for ziplining a lot of questions. Okay, eva. Thanks very much. Thanks, eva. Well, a developing story now from connecticut where Hazardous Material crews are on the site of a spill. 400 gallons of the highly toxic chemical hexavalent chromium spilled from a met Plating Company into a river and wetland area.

Its a tease for you, george. Okay, were going to get now to that growing fury over a High School Athlete who was sentenced to probation but no jail time after sexually assaulting two classmates. Abcs linzie janis is here with the latest. Good morning, linzie. Reporter good morning, george, an online petition calling for the removal of this judge now has mo t signatures and counting. The petition calls the ruling a slap on the wrist and says the judge is essentially letting a known sex offender on a college campus. This morning, thousands of online petitioners are calling for the removal of the judge who sentenced 18yearold david becker to probation instead of prison time, after he was charged with sexually assaulting two classmates. At a plea hearing in june, judge thomas estes siding with former High School Athlete had already suffered due to his actions. There have already been significant consequences, collateral consequences to simply being charged in the first place. Reporter the judge adding a harsher penalty would slam a lot of doors for becker. His lawyer described him as a model student who deserved to go the college. He was a rising star, everything was going perfect for him. Suddenly, april 20, 2016, hes at a house party. Theres no parents. Theres alcohol. Theres marijuana. Theres testosterone. Theres estrogen. A perfect mix for a nuclear disaster. He makes a bad decision. Reporter becker was arrested in april after two 18yearold girls said they had been drinking at a house party. They went to bed with him and according to police documents, each said they woke up at separate times to becker assaulting them. Victim one told police becker texted her after the incident. Writing, very sorry about last night. Was very much in the wrong. About it, its all good. Later telling investigators she didnt know what else to say. Becker told police he was unaware she was asleep and he denied having contact with victim two. Prosecutors had recommended two years of jail time. Instead, he got to two years probation. I think the judges sympathies are misplaced in this case. I think that this offenders College Career should not be the priority. Punishment for the acts he committed should be the priority. Reporter his case is being compared to that of stanford swimmer brock turner. In june the former stanford swimmer received six months in jail for Sexual Assault. George. Okay, linzie, lets talk about this with dan abrams and nancy grace. Dan, let me begin with you and explain the process. They reached a deal. The prosecutors requested two years of jail time. The judge made a different decision. How does that happen . Right. Its not called a plea deal. Prosecutors then come to the judge and say, okay, weve reached this effectively agreement. Heres what we would recommend. The judge then also gets what is a probation report. He hears from the victims family. He hears from the victim. He hears from the defendant. And then makes this decision here. No question this is a lenient decision. This guy should be incredibly appreciative. This is a lucky, lucky young man that hes not serving time based on this crime. With that said, i think the fact that one of the victim that she thought he should get probation was very helpful to him. In this case. Nancy. Well, i disagree on so many levels. And what this is called in courthouse parlance is a blind plea. You agree to a plea agreement. You agree that someone is going to plead guilty. Then you go before the judge and the judge is going to sentence. The state here recommended two years behind bars. The defense wanted probation. The reality is, the judge went a step further. He says, well, if you dont drink and you dont do drugs and you dont contact the victims, in two years, the whole thing will be dismissed. Its like it never happened. And dan is right about something. He said that one of the victims said, well, i dont want him to go to jail. You know what . I get it. She is feeling guilty, like its her fault this happened to her. And i cant tell you how m that upsets me. Ive dealt with so many rape victims. Theyre like, wow, was my skirt too short . Should i have been at that party . Did i have too much to drink . Is it my fault . No, its not her fault. One of the victims went out of state. Why didnt she want to go forward . Thats why you have a prosecutor. You represent the victims. Theyre not supposed to go into court and handle their case themselves. You do what is right. You lead the prosecution. And i think this case should if you cant agree on a jail sentence on a rape case, then take it to a jury. But its very easy to just say this case should have gone to trial. We should have fought this. What happens if hes found not guilty, right, and then theres zero accountability. Then you did your best. Maybe thats not good enough. Maybe in certain cases, the prosecutors are going to say, you know what, for two reasons. Number one, maybe the prosecutors are worried they wont be able to get a conviction. And the number two, maybe the victims said, you know what, we dont want to be dragged through a trial. We want you to reach an agreement. Dont just go on and say, oh, you know what, they should have taken this to trial, without knowing whats going on in the prosecutors minds. The other thing about this judge, he spent his whole life practically, 30 years, as a public defender. What do you think hes going to do when he gets on the bench . Side with the defendant. All hes worried about is this really . Now, there are calls to investigate this judge. We have also seen the judge in the stanford case facing calls for removal as well. First of all, i dont think you should tar this judge because he served as a public defender and somehow thats a problem. Im not tarring him. He made a bad decision. Okay, i agree. Its a very lenient sentence here. I think its dangerous to start lumping cases in together. We have e separately. I think nancy would probably agree with me. That the turner case, on the spectrum, was worse than this one. In the sense that you had eyewitnesses stanford. Right. The stanford case. Attack on the street. The possibility of a lot of prison time. I think that case was worse. I dont know. Is one rape worse than another . Nancy, what do judges do every day . Every single day judges have to make decisions. Yes, they do. Right . So theres a spectrum. Yes. Theres aggravated Sexual Assault. Theres not aggravated Sexual Assault. These sort of decisions happen every day. This guy is going to walk free. Thats all we have time for today. Thank you very much. Hes not even going to have a record. Were going over to amy. They agreed yesterday. Oh, well, todays another day. Coming up on the big board, soccer star hope solo suspended. Over comments she made at the olympics. Does the punishment go too far .

Oh, that appears to be trending. Lol. Welcome back. Its time now for our big board. Our team of insiders standing by for more on this mornings top stories. We have lisa skeete tatum. I love this story youre talking but first, lets start with the news about one of soccers biggest stars. Hope solo suspended from the u. S. Womens National Team for six months, following comments she made at the rio olympics after losing to sweden, describing them as a bunch of cowards. Words u. S. Soccer has deemed unacceptable. Espns Jeremy Schaap joins us now. And jeremy n a statement, hope solo said this, im saddened by the federations decision to terminate my contract. I could not be the player i am without being the person i am. Even when i havent made the best choices or said the right things. Jeremy, what do you make of the suspension . Do you think its fair . Well, in a word, if this suspension were just for the things that hope solo said about sweden, it wouldnt be fair at all. But thats not what this is about. This is about a history of transgressions. Misdeeds. Runins with the law. Shes been giving u. S. Soccer headaches for 15plus years. You have to look at the whole track record. Remember, as well, this is largely symbolic. Theres no world cup coming up. Theres no olympics coming up. Solo will ever again be the goalkeeper for the u. S. Womens National Team. The other question being asked from the director of it was called excessive. We also question whether this action would have ever been taken against a male player or coach who, in the heat of competition, questioned the tactics of the opposing team. George, certainly theres a history in sport of women being held in a different level of deportment than men. Cristiano ronaldo made similar comments when his team didnt play as well against iceland. He wasnt punished. But that was at the beginning of a tournament not at the end of it. I have covered the u. S. Mens National Team for years. I interviewed hope solo. I have to say i dont think this is about gender. This is about hope solo who has been uniquely troublesome for much. Now to a new alert on air travel. Its a comprehensive look at how to get the best prices. What causes the biggest frustrations . Becky worley is here to break it down. Not such great news for travellers. George, the 14 pages in this article on flying can be summed up like this, ah the details. Lets get to them, on why were frustrated. Complaints against u. S. Airlines, up 34 last year compared to 2014. Ah we have to wait in line for security, but, hey, turns out the airlines have removed some bathrooms to make way for more seats, more profits. So lets stand in more lines on the plane waiting for the john. And this one, the narrowest seats measure 17 inches wide. I busted out a ruler and the kids construction paper. This is 17 inches wide. Im a small woman. 17 inches is just not realistic. Wow, thats incredible. Lets talk about prices. Online, right to get the ticket. You want the best price. They looked at the travel booking sites. What did they find . Consumer reports tested about 400 airfares on nine sites. They found the fares changed minute by minute, second by second. They varied based on what travel site you used. Travelocity the cheapest. Ironically, cheapoair is the most expensive. But, another weird aspect of booking. If you have a browse history deleted, all your previous sites and cookies gone, the fare prices could be totally different than for people who dont clear their history. And to make it more confusing, sometimes more, sometimes less. How is that possible . Its ridiculous. Consumer reports advice for getting the best price is check aggregator sites. And the airline. Yet again, more hassle for us wow. It was like, ah becky, thank you. Speaking of that, this next story, the big debate over Engagement Rings. A job recruiter coming under big fire for his advice. On linkedin. A popular Career Counselor saying that women should ditch their ring for job interviews. Because they could send the message to the men that youre high maintenance. Joining us now, lisa skeete tatum, founder of landit. A site that helps women in the work place. I bet i know what youre going to say. I literally had to pick my mouth up off the floor. I cant believe in 2016, were still talking about this. If you look anywhere, you have seen the workplace has changed. Companies want to attract, retain women. I come from a maledominated industry. And the only sparkle that theyre interested in is what is my track record and do i bring things to them that enable them to sparkle . Debate at all. He said in a followup post for men not to wear 50,000 rolex watches. Does that help at all . Theres no way to equate wearing a rolex to wearing an Engagement Ring which is a symbol of commitment, love and family. Our advice is the same. You go and youre prepared. You are professional. You know your worth. Its a twoway interview. You should be interviewing them. Is this a place where i fit . Is this a place where i can be myself . If youre in a place you dont fit, its not a recipe for success. Agreed. Very well put. Thank you so much. I appreciate it, lisa. Thank you to lisa, becky, and jeremy. Coming up next, the College Soccer team attempting an outrageous stunt. This is a great one. One ball, 25 heads, one big goal. Can they pull it off . Were back in just two minutes.
