Matt gutman is in rio with the la reporter hey, good morning, robin. No doubt this is a gorgeous city but rio may also be the most crime ridden city in which an olympics has been held in modern times and everything had gone more or less smoothly till that lochte robbery which set the entire Olympic Village on edge.

Now, lochte so good in the pool may now be in hot water and olympic officials suggesting he misled them at least initially about what really happened yesterday. Guys. Yeah, a little too much celebration there, all right, matt. You know, i think its very fun and everyone is having a god time and celebrating but you are in a country where things can be unsecure and so i had a situation similar. We were pulled over. We didnt get out of the car. I mean i dont know what the intentions were but you just cant take any chances so luckily we were okay you told the taxi driver keep going.

Even mermutts. 1940s aqua music burke and we covered it, february third, twentysixteen. Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because weve seen a thing or two. . We are farmers. Bumpadum, bumbumbumbum . Oh wow, what kind of underwear are those . Theyre breathable underwear from fruit of the loom. Wait, fruit of the loom makes breathable underwear . Yeah, they have tiny holes to let the air through but. Yessss. I love them. Stay cool with breathable underwear re it. Tag youre it. Tag, youre it. Yes new gogurt writeon tubes. This back to school, say it with gogurt. Although just 4 foot 8, simone biles is packed with power. Thats why she trusts tide pods. She knows small can be powerful. Welcome back. Time for our big board. Our team of insiders is live for more on this mornings top stories and dan abrams is here at the desk with us, hes i think a couple of stories youll weigh in. First the outrage over that campus rape case drawing comparisons to the Brooke Turner trial at stanford. A former university of colorado student convicted of vex wall assault given what many are calling a lenient sentence two years in jail and probation, legal analysts areva martin will join us and also like the stanford case, the colorado victim, boy, the letter that she wrote and she said this to the the judge. I have it right here. She said have as much mercy for the rapist as he did for me the night of the Sexual Assault which was none and then the judge with that sentence. What do you make of this, areva . You know, i think theres a lot of anguish in this country around the way rapists are being convicted and this case was so powerful, the Statement Given by this young woman so powerful. The only opportunity for the judge to hear from her, to hear and to weigh in on the sentence and then to get two years work release, i think many are disappointed by this sentence, robin. Areva, let me ask, a lot of outrage about this sentence, how unusual is this, though . Is this happening more than we think . Theres some data out there that suggests that only 3 of rapists will actually spend time in jail. That report has come under attack but i think its pretty clear that rapists on College Campuses fare better in terms of involved in rapes or convicted of rapes outside of the College Campus so really something we need to look at in this country. College students have been talking about this on campuses all across the country, ill ask you this. Why is that the case . Why does that seem to be more lenient, dan . I think were seeing a lot more coverage of this now which is actually a good thing, exposing the criminal Justice System for what it is both the good and the bad can be very helpful. Here youre talking about gets this lenient sentence. No question this is below the level, i think most expected. Talking about exposing the criminal Justice System. This next headline, surprise twist making a murderer case, a federal judge overturning the convicted of Brendan Dassey who was found guilty in 2007 along with his uncle steven avery of murdering Teresa Halbach and the judge saying his confession was look at this. Your mom said youd be honest with us. We already know what happened. Dan, were you surprised. I was surprised not because of the reasoning, meaning i agree with the judge entirely. What makes this so surprising is you have a federal court here stepping in and saying, yes, i know this worked its way through the state court. Yes, this is a state court crime. But this is such an unreasonable decision and raises such fundamental constitutional questions, that im going to thats what makes it so unusual in this case and why it was a surprise to many of us including those who think that Brendan Dassey is totally innocent. What about steven avery . This does not help avery. All these people say, oh, so avery will be the next one. If you read the judges opinion, the judge sort of presumes in this opinion that the evidence against steven avery is valid. I dont think this is going to have any impact on his case, certainly in the a positive impact. His lawyer will file a separate think hes still got an incredibly uphill battle. So much attention. In particular to avery. Yes. You want to lighten things up . Lets do it. Now to that big adele news, a sold out concert. She shot down rumors that she would be performing at next years super bowl halftime show. Take a look at what she said. First of all id like to tell you that im not doing the super bowl. Well, come on, i mean, come on. That show is not about and i dont really cant dance or anything like that. They were very kind. They did ask me but i said no. I cant dance. Yeah, very well. The nfl and pepsi says they had conversations with several artists but they have not extended a formal offer to anyone. Joining us now is howard bragman, howard, the super bowl halftime show is a big deal. What do you make of what adele said . I think adeles got a very sense of self because the super field with my client, its spectacle and adele is about intimacy even in a big arena, its not fireworks, not dancing and probably the right decision for her. Left shark dancing when she sings hello, left shark when shes singing. Howard we can try that but, you make a good point. I was at the Staples Center last week. Theres two stages there but all she does is sing, i say that, it she makes a good point when she says the super bowl is really about more than that. She knows where she fits. Its hard to turn it down, theres 125 Million People watching in the u. S. Alone. Its the largest musical venue in the world. But she knows herself and thats why you got to respect her so much. Much respect. I know how you dropped a liepts. Your client was there last year. How about you and areva, who Kendrick Lamar would be my choice. Done and done. Its going to be all right. Thats it. Thank you all, thank you all very much. Thanks to areva, dan and howard. Coming up in two minutes, the olympians scoring more than gold. Who has the most money. Usain bolt or Michael Phelps .

They are the fastest men on land. Still invincible. Usain bolt. Reporter and in the water. Phelps has grabbed the lead. Reporter usain bolt and Michael Phelps prove over and over again they are the powerhouse olympians at the top of their sports. 31yearold phelps now has 28 career olympic medals to his name, the most decorated olympian in history. His net worth, 55 million. Bolt is 29 years old. He has just seven gold medals but reportedly he shot past phelps in net worth at nearly 60 million. Where have they made their fortunes . Endorsements. Phelps signing on with visa, Louis Vuitton and speedo but his biggest, baltimore based under armour. . Its the last goodbye .

Be protected hopefully by your parents or good, loving families. Simone said shes so ready to come back and soak it in. Good for her. I think theyll also recognize their life has changed greatly and need to remember to them. The best advice i got was from my coach. She said youre not an nba athlete. Youre an olympic gymnast so save your money. No is a complete sentence. Can we take a shot of Dominique Dawes . She looks patriotic. Stand up. No, we say very athletic. This is so not me.

Shes 80 and we have those rain showers that are affecting parts of Southern Illinois all the way down to louisiana and tex looking pretty good with showers and thunderstorms. This is typical this time of year for it not to rain we would have to have significant things going on but for today well continue with the southeast flow that will favor the showers and thunderstorms developing east of us and for the better part of the day, dry, humid, hot too, 105 with the heat index and cooling off with the thunderstorms, 40 to 50 through the end of the week. Very excited about this. Coming up, chance the rapper on a mission to help others and hes here performing live. Creating a mess, and were seeing it 275 northbound on westshore. Lois looks great northbound and southbound. Give yourself extra time to make that detour. We are still watching this backup through palmetto, southbound on i75, a crash here just past 275 and still seeing delays all the way up to the southern apex there. Your options, u.

J. Youre in rio with one of those Gold Medalists. One of those superstars. Missy franklin is here. Hi. Thank you. So good to be here. Thank you for having me. Describe the olympic experience for this swim team. You guys have been phenomenal. Its been amazing. Its been so incredible being a part of this journey. There were so many things that happened this meet that were just historic. You look at Michael Phelps and Simone Manuel and katie ledecky, like so much happened and to be a part of it and be a part of this incredible legacy that we have, its such an honor. Okay, now a lot of people, now this has been, you said, a disappointing week for you. Disappointing weeks of your life. Yeah. People have said its been a heartbreaking experience but you came in here this morning, you almost kicked that door in with energy and just you didnt seem like somebody that was down. How are you dealing and processing with what did happen to you last week. You know, im definitely taking some time with it. By far its been the most disappointing ive ever been in any athletic performance so for that to line up at the olympics is not a deal obviously, but that positivity just comes from knowing that i did the best that i possibly could and it just wasnt my week. Its the hard work and sacrifices i made just didnt show up. But i know that they will eventually and i think im going to be so much stronger after this experience. We dont have to look for Something Like youre not injured. No issue. I wish i could tell but thats sports. Sometimes you do everything you possibly can and its still not there but its those types you have to keep your head high and keep pushing forward. How big of a deal has it been to have your family close by. Theyre the best. Ever since i was 5 and started swimming my parents have been so add perhaps about do your best and well be proud of no no matter what so to have that support and love even when im so disappointed in myself has been heartwarming. You know were not death penaltied in you. Everybody is so proud of what youve done and did pick up a gold in the relay. Im incredibly proud of this. But 2020, no question well see you back. I fee more to learn, so much more to give back and would love to be back in 2020. This incident with the swimmers, ryan lochte and a couple of swimmers that have you all had any issues or security issues. No, i felt very, very safe this whole time. We were all so concerned when we heard that and i think everyone is just really grateful that everyone is okay and no one was hurt. And youre wrapping up this olympics and about to head out because you got to go back to school actually. I know, yes, im heading back to cal berkeley and im so forward to getting back there, getting back with my team, getting back with athletes in action. All these different groups i missed being a part of so much this past year so i couldnt be more excited. Its an absolute pleasure. Well hang out a little longer. You do that. Shes not down at all. No, you give her a big hug for us. Appreciate how shes handling everything. Ill give you a big hug. There you go. Thank you, t. J. Lets go outside to ginger. Here, my new friends from texas and my buddy, b. J. , from canada wanted to say good morning to everybody. I also wanted to start you off and give you an update because its an unfortunate update, the lightning as beautiful as it is in this picture with that rainbow now up to 27 deaths this year as far as lightning goes, so from lightning and there were several accidents over the weekend.

Houston, austin, everybody there in southern louisiana up to illinois all on alert for the flash floods. Thats the big picture. B. J. , o all that weather brought to you by tracfone. David. Ginger, thanks so much. Here with oscar winning Actress Natalie portman on a personal mission with her new project writing and directing and starring in a tale of love and darkness based on the powerful bestseller and want to start with a clip of the movie. You played the mom in this talking to her son about something really important. [ speaking a Foreign Language ] wow. Telling her son when its okay to lie. Great to have you with us. Thank you. Mom, director, actress, writer of this new project of yours but i want to go back to when you originally read the book and said, natalie, you could envision it the were reading it. Yes, i read the book for the first time almost ten years ago when it came out in translation and immediately i started seeing the film in front of my eyes and i knew that that had to be my first film to direct because it was so, so immediate in my mind. This particular story reminded you of the stories you had been told as a child. Yes, it was so similar to so many of the stories i had heard growing up because my family is israel and so i had heard so many stories about my grandparents as refugees from europe in the 30s, late 30s coming to israel which was then british mandate palestine and its just that shock of what it is when youre an mcghie going to a place that is not anything like you expected it to be. Decipher between what was reality and these stories picked up and expanded upon over time. Ino and you went out and you thought ill find someone to help write it and over time people said why dont you just write it. Yeah, it was actually really empowering because i kept thinking, oh, ill find someone, a professional writer to write this and i kept meeting with people and they said you know how to do this, youre explaining what you want. So eventually i adopted it myself. Not only did she write this, she starred in it, you also directed it and im curious, how much have you taken from other directors that youve worked with in the past to then help the arcs who are on the set and is it easier to direct yourself . So i thought it would be harder than it was because theres actually something easier when you watch yourself and you want to change something, you dont have to figure out the words to use to explain it. You just do it. You know what you want and you just do it whereas with other actors you obviously have to find the language that them and i definitely took from directors i worked with in many ways, you know, Anthony Minghella who i worked with on Cold Mountain would have actors opposite you change their lines and i would do that with the arcs sometimes where youre offscreen you can Say Something that shocks them or scares them, there was a time when i wanted the little boy to be excited running out and i would tell him like, theres an Ice Cream Truck outside and hed just light up and go out. We just have a few seconds uhhuh. And you embraced motherhood in the same way you embraced all your work and wonder how it helped you on the set in making sure everyone was taken care of. It is actually quite parental role, i think, being a director because your job is to make everyone comfortable, make sure everyone is okay and also get the best out of them. Like how can you everyone courage them and support them to get the best out of them which is very much a parental role. Natalie, great to have you back on morning and a tale of love and darkness in select theaters this friday and coming up this morning, chance the rapper is here. Natalie and i were hearing him warm up in the break. Incredible. You got to see this. And a mission under way to help others. Were back now with chance the rapper.

Up to speed from the Sunshine Skyway all the way to the Howard Frankland. We have a new crash reported ulmerton road at seminole boulevard and i am seeing some slowdowns in the southbound lanes. So give yourself extra time if youre heading through there. An update now on the crash weve been talking about all morning on northbound westshore at gray street. Before you get to 275, they have reopened that northbound lane that gray street is going to remain closed eastbound throughout the day. A car hit a fire hydrant, its going to take time for that to be cleaned up. Were still seeing slowdowns further south through palmetto, southbound i75 down to 10 miles per hour. Still due to a crash right past the southern apex. U. S. 41 might be a better option for you. Good morning. Looking much better in the weather department. We had clouds earlier, now throughout the rest of today. Setting the stage for another round of showers and storms. I think well have a little more than yesterday, tampa and further south. We had a lot of cloud cover yesterday early. That didnt allow for much thunderstorm activity. Except for the north. Titan Doppler Radar quiet now, visible satellite seeing a few clouds getting going but not much. The cumulus clouds wont build until midday. Already feels like 90 degrees. So the low 90s you see there for highs will feel like 103 and off dramatically as storms roll in from easttowest. And temperatures back up to the 90s. By the way the pattern is this week, typical for this time of year, nothing widespread as far as showers or thunderstorms and rain chances 40 to 50 . We will talk about the tropics a school kicks off for many students in the tampa area and a Pinellas County teacher is fighting to live after police say a drunk driver crashes into her car.
